Result: Delist; fails good article criterion 2. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:01, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A GA from 2010. There are some uncited paragraphs and sentences here and there that need to be addressed. Some areas might need updates though I'm not sure. Also, populations for manila's districts are cited to a permanent dead link. Onegreatjoke (talk) 20:44, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Populations for Manila's districts have been updated. Will try searching for sources for uncited paragraphs, or deleting the info if no reliable source could be found. —Sanglahi86 (talk) 14:09, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sanglahi86, do you intend to continue working upon the article?

Oops, messed up ping Sanglahi86 ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:25, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I had thought other editors would also assist in finding/citing sources, which is why I discontinued editing the article for the moment. I tried in the past looking for sources to remove some cn tags, but I had a hard time finding reliable ones; I could boldly remove some unreferenced content in my free time. Sanglahi86 (talk) 11:31, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@AirshipJungleman29:, I have exhausted all efforts in trying to find reliable sources for the remaining cn tags, but I could not find any. I would want to remove those unreferenced claims, but doing so might be contested by other editors and I do not have time to defend the content removal. Please feel free to do what must be done with the article. Thanks. –Sanglahi86 (talk) 13:39, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sanglahi86, thank you for your efforts. The article will be delisted shortly. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:00, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rename article to "Manila City"

I'm aware that there is already a disclaimer at the beginning of the article, but wouldn't it make more sense to add the "City" designation next to it so that readers avoid confusing it for NCR as a whole? Just Your Average Stellaron Hunter (talk) 08:34, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
