   Pass/Fail:

The article is not comprehensive at all. There is nearly 100 years of history between 1885 and 1985 that is almost completely non-existent on the article, and the history section is undersourced. Climate is unsourced. Attractions is completely unsourced, and for being Canada's most popular tourist destination, is too short. The media stub section needs some prose, at least. Notable residents = trivia. How about an economy section? Especially given the Calgary Regional Partnership is noted in the lead, but not in the article body. There is nothing at all about the contemporary issues the town faces. There is a lot of work yet for this to become a GA. As such, I am failing the nomination. Please feel free to re-nominate if these issues can be addressed. Thanks, Resolute 15:07, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
