- The article has gone down in standards since it was last promoted. There is a lot of unreferenced material and dead links that need updating and refs.Cheers Kyle1278 17:45, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

The following quotes need references.
- "Calgary is well-known as a destination for winter sports and ecotourism with a number of major mountain resorts near the city and metropolitan area."
- "When the Canadian Pacific Railway reached the area in 1883 and a rail station was constructed, Calgary began to grow into an important commercial and agricultural centre."
- "Calgary quickly found itself at the centre of the ensuing oil boom."
- "The subsequent drop in oil prices and the introduction of the National Energy Program (NEP) were cited by industry as reasons for a collapse in the oil industry and consequently the overall Calgary economy. The NEP was cancelled in the mid-1980s by the Brian Mulroney federal government. However, low oil prices prevented a full recovery until the 1990s."
- "The nearby mountain resort towns of Banff, Lake Louise, and Canmore are also becoming increasingly popular with tourists, and are bringing people into Calgary as a result"
- "From the second paragraph in Geography down needs references"
- "Most of the paragraphs below Geography needs references"
I have delisted the article until these problems can be fixed. Once fixed feel free to request a Wikipedia:Good article nominations.Cheers Kyle1278 01:11, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
