 * I'll take up this review. Will post my initial set of comments soon &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 13:12, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Lead
 * "Allahabad is the seventh most populous city in the state and the thirty-sixth most populous city in India" needs "As of ..."
 * "In 2011, it was ranked the world's 130th fastest growing city" – unsourced
 * Page nos. needed for ref #8
 * "The city's original name – Prayaga, or "place of offerings" – comes from its position at the sacred union of the rivers Ganges, Yamuna and Saraswati": Sentence is unclear. How do you correlate "place of offerings" with "sacred union".
 * The fact that Allahabad is the second-oldest city in India is unsourced and present only at the lead
 * I'm not sure what you mean by "plays a central role in the Hindu scriptures"
 * Link Doab
 * Area of 63.07 km2 is not mentioned anywhere in the article except lead
 * Allahabad City Council – ditto
 * You say that the city is the second-oldest in India while infobox mentions that it was founded in 1583 AD
 * Area of metropolitan city equals 5,424 km2 – not true, it's the area of the district

Etymology
 * The section is too small. Perhaps consider merging it with History if it can't be expanded further

Demographics
 * "Provisional data suggest a density of 1,087 people per km2 in 2011, compared to 901 in 2001" pertains to district data
 * The following sentences are either unsourced or incorrectly sourced
 * The last para of the section is sourced to "Provisional Population Totals, Census of India 2011; Urban Agglomerations/Cities having population 1 lakh and above" which no way conveys the information presented in the article.
 * I've not fully read the article. After going through a few sections, it feels like criterion 1 and 2 are not met. The prose is weak in many places, and many facts need to satisfy WP:V. The article needs to have a thorough copy-edit by a GOCE member. For now, I'm stopping my review and will have a look at it tomorrow. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 12:35, 11 February 2014 (UTC)


 * It's been close to a week since I started the review. The nominator is yet to respond even after knowing that the review has started. Therefore, I'm failing this review. &mdash; Vensatry' (Ping) 08:26, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
