 * Oppose Nasty, brutish, and short, but that's life, they say. Also no alt text.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:09, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Seeing as there are no images requiring alt text on this article, I don't see how your second oppose reason is valid. -Newyorkadam (talk) 00:16, 1 April 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam
 * Well, it's at least as germane as the average oppose. And what's life without alt text?--Wehwalt (talk) 00:18, 1 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Oppose. I'm sorry, but the section "Geography and places" has no references at all. buffbills7701 00:32, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, can't believe that slipped my eye! Will be adding references over the next day or so. -Newyorkadam (talk) 00:33, 1 April 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam


 * Oppose - Lack of references, does not look like an article. Maybe try WP:FLC instead?  Dough 48  72  00:35, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Do you propose a merge? -Newyorkadam (talk) 01:53, 1 April 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam

 * Comment - reads well but I'm afraid there might be some slight issues with overlinking. Still, it seems consensus is building to promote the article, so I won't stand in the way. –  Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 02:35, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose I like this article, so therefore, I can not support this. YE Pacific  Hurricane 02:39, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Lacks sufficient sourcing. — Status  ( talk  ·  contribs ) 03:35, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
