This article passes most of the criteria. I do have several qualms with this article though:

  1.   Done All images are on the right, any chance you could move some to the left?
  2.   Done "Establish in 1937" ? - Check please.
  3.   Done "Within five years of 1937" ? - Rewording needed.
  4.   Done "Santa Clause" or Santa Claus? Suntag comment The references generally use "Claus"
  5.   Done "and through 1961 remailing service advertisements offering to postmark letters from Santa Claus, Arizona" - need to repeat Arizona?
  6.   Done "In the 1930s, Los Angeles, California real estate woman Nina Talbot" - add an "a" there,
  7.   Done Wikilink "rum pie"?
  8.   Done Can reference 18 be turned into a footnote?
  9. Any chance that you can map out on an Arizona map approximately, where it was? Suntag comment - I posted {{reqmapin}} to the talk page and added a request at User:Seth_Ilys/Dot_Project#Arizona
  10. The Geology section is shorter than the image in the section, is expansion possible? Suntag comment - I'll give a more detailed sarch of USGA[1].
  11. I am very disappointed in the idea that the almost the entire article is about its history. I am sure that there is more to this abandoned village than meets the eye. I really suggest putting some more research into other details. Suntag comment I'll look through the references used in the articles at Wikipedia:Good_articles#North_America to see if I can locate additional source material.

For now, I am putting this article on hold for fourteen days rather than seven, because I believe that more deep research is needed. I really suggest doing it soon, meaning we won't have to wait 14 days.Mitch32(Go Syracuse) 22:57, 23 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

I am sorry about this. My major problems haven't really been solved, and to be truthful, I am going to fail this article. You can bring it to GAR or just renom when its ready.Mitch32(Go Syracuse) 15:44, 17 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
