- It's new.
- It's long enough.
- It's neutral and seems free of copyright issues but several paragraphs lack inline citations.
- The hook is short enough but might be tighter - see ALT1
- The hook seems interesting, is sourced and ok otherwise
- There's no QPQ but the nominator seems to have less than 5 DYKs according to their user page
- The image used is free and is colourful. The lead image was a featured picture but I suppose it wouldn't be so good as a tiny thumbnail.
So, in summary the article is almost there but could use some more citations, please. Andrew Davidson (talk) 14:15, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. I've expanded the article with some refs, and removed some unsourced material. The alt1 is good too. static shakedown ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ 15:41, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
At least some of this article is a copyright violation. For example, "One of the most evident outcomes of this program was that the river became a major hub for the traditional Christmas celebrations. Local neighborhoods and communities were responsible for the designs and motifs for the lights, expressing the aesthetic of the local people. As a result, the popular paisa aesthetic, baroque and colorful, infiltrated these new spaces and architectural arrangements." is copied from source #10.

- You're right. I went over all the references, the only copyvio was in the Mi Rio section, so I cleaned that up. static shakedown ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ 15:20, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
This article is new enough and long enough. The issue above has been addressed, the ALT1 hook is properly sourced and the image is properly licensed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:16, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
Shall we save this hook for use on MainPage during the holiday season? --PFHLai (talk) 18:30, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
- Sounds good, I moved it to December 1, when the lights will first turn on this year static shakedown ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ 14:21, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
