Failed "good article" nomination

This article has failed its Good article nomination. This is how the article, as of April 21, 2020, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: The tone of the article is not entirely encyclopedic, and the choice of words is all around poor. Just from the opening paragraph, there are significant issues in the way that information is presented and how it flows. The history section has too many subsections that are short and choppy. There are two unnecessary infoboxes in their own subsections, unnecessary lists in the Demographics and Education sections that would be better expressed as prose, and issues with Sentence case throughout.

2. Verifiable?: The citations used aren't sufficient to cover the article, as evidenced in the many paragraphs missing an inline citation. The web and news citations need to be better formatted (one still has an email address populating the author field, many are missing date information or are inconsistent about it). The Pop culture section also has a case of excessive citations.

3. Broad in coverage?: See below

4. Neutral point of view?: The article is a bit too thorough, in sounding like a visitor's guide rather than a brisk encyclopedia entry. Listing a new hotel by its brand name and spending a whole paragraph on each single attraction is also a bit much.

5. Stable?: There seems to be some issues brought up by IP editors that need to be resolved.

6. Images?: Uneven distribution, some are missing proper captions (or have long-winded ones), and the infobox image is not particularly good at representing the city.

While I commend the amount of work put in since the last GA review, it's clearly not been enough. I recommend sending this to a copyeditor at WP:GOCE and seeking the advice of more experienced editors. Keep looking for sources and try to look at other city articles for inspiration.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far.— SounderBruce 08:18, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
