Review section
I am nominating this featured article for review because: there is considerable uncited text, information that appears only in the lead, very short paragraphs, near-duplicate images, inconsistencies in citation formatting. Needs quite a lot of attention. FemkeMilene (talk) 17:22, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Oh yay, another total mess of an article.


 * "Initial Proposals": Large chunks of uncited text.
 * "Line Extensions": Very choppy, lots of one-sentence paragraphs.
 * "Partial privatisation and merger": refimprove tag from December 2018
 * "Recent extensions": Section should be titled differently per WP:RECENT; also has several sentences in a row beginning with "the".
 * "Future expansions": Improperly formatted list (I have literally never seen anyone use 1.) 2.) 3.) instead of the number sign). Also needs to be watched for updating.
 * "Infrastructure": Section consists entirely of images and a table. Is there a better and less cluttered way to present this?
 * "Rolling Stock": Entire table is unreferenced.
 * I also feel the sections underneath (Metro Cammell EMU (DC), Adtranz-CAF EMU, etc.) could be better integrated. There are too many subsections and a lot of image bunching.
 * "Commerce and journals" -- entire section is unsourced
 * "Head office" - very short section, could be expanded or combined. Also not sure of that red link.
 * "Visual identity" - very short and unreferenced; expand or combine with something else. I'm not sure if this is even needed.
 * "Involvement in 2019–20 Hong Kong protests" -- I believe you're not supposed to put links in headers; also there is no summary here, just a main.
 * The references are very inconsistent in formatting. I also spot a few YouTube fan videos which are not in any way reliable sources.

This is another article so thoroughly deficient in WP:WIAFA content that once again I feel a need to accelerate the delisting. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 04:30, 27 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Give this at least a week or two to see if anyone is still interesting in working on this. I know there is a large HK transport community out there, just not sure if they are still active on this especially in the current climate. I don't think I can rework on this myself without spending a significant period of time, but if there is a team effort then this might still be salvageable within the timeframe. One thing I obviously noticed is there is a lot of scope creep added to the article since promotion, and I am inclined that whole sections would need to be removed outright for the quality to improve. - Mailer Diablo 09:08, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
