Hello there! Thank you for submitting this article to Good Article Nominations. However, I will have to quick fail this per Wikipedia:Good_article_criteria immediate failures criteria #1 as it is far from reaching one of the criteria of a Good Article. Specifically, this article is far from passing criteria #2 Verifiable with no original research. I have noticed that there are many parts of this article that are unreferenced. Here is an in-depth explanation:

Parts that have no citations

• 2015 CUPE 3903 Strike: - all of this paragraph.
• Libraries: - all of this paragraph.
• Glendon Campus: - all of this paragraph.
• Colleges and residences: all of the table and paragraph about Residence Life underneath it.
• Chancellors: all bullet points about career positions and years from 1969 to present.
• Noted alumni and faculty: introductory sentence about number of alumni and pictures of famous people who graduated from York.

Parts that are missing many citations

• 2.3 Faculties: The paragraph each about the Osgoode Hall Law School and Faculty of Graduate Studies.
• Research centres and institutes: - 1) Paragraphs about Dance, Space, and Meteorology are all uncited. 2) Most of the School of Arts paragraph is uncited. 3) Many of the bullet points don't have citations.
  • 2.3.2 Faculties: Most of the bullet points are uncited. I also suggest renaming one of these subections as boht 2.3 and 2.3.2 are named Faculties.
  • Seneca@York: Introductory sentence stating they partner with Seneca and the bullet points.
  • Other locations: The paragraph about the Schulich and Osgoode schools.
• The Village at York University: sentence about safety and paragraph about the neighbourhood of the Village.
• Campus media: sentences about college newspapers, radio, journal and university magazine.
• Presidents: bullet points from 1969 to 2007 including career positions.
• Distinguished Research Professors and University Professors: many of the people in the bullet points with years and specialties.

Parts that are missing few citations

• History: Sentence about the Ontario government's plan for the university in July 2020.
  • Labour disruptions subsection: Sentence about the 2001 strike.
  • 2008 CUPE 3903 Strike subsection: Sentence about the York University Act by the Ontario government,
  • 2018 CUPE 3903 Strike subsection: Sentences about the June vote and the back-to-work law.
• Admissions: There is a citation needed tag that needs to be resolved.
• Keele Campus - Last sentences talking about the facultities and number of students.
• Athletics: sentences about clubs and athletic facilities.
  • Fight song: sentence about college songs.
  • Fraternities and sororites: sentences about Phi Delta Phi
  • Student clubs: sentences about student orgnaziations

Overall

Since this is a long list, I'll summarize the main point. There are many sections that need citations for verification. Here are the ones that need focused on the most:

• Parts that have no citations: 2015 CUPE 3903 Strike, Libraries, Glendon Campus, Colleges and residences
• Lots of missing citations: 2.3 Faculties, Research centres and institutes, Other locations, The Village at York University, Campus media.

There are also parts that have sentences/bullet points without sentences, but I think these can be resolved last as they're smaller issues. The only part that should be resolved first of these smaller ones is the Admissions section as it has a citation needed tag. With these 9 uncited paragraphs and 1 citation needed tag, this article is a long way from passing verification even if skipping over the uncited bullet points/smaller sentences. Therefore, I will have to quickfail this GAN as it is far from passing verificiation. I hope this does not discourage you from working on this article.
