General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

  • Adequate sourcing: No - Some of the sources used are not reliable (such as Conch Tour Train, WorldPopulationReview, nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com [a non-official site], etc.).
  • Neutral: Yes
  • Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: No - Some close paraphrasing picked up by Earwig is a cause for concern, such as the Federal Wrecking Act paragraph.

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - WorldPopulationReview is not a reliable source.
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - The link is far, far too long.

Image eligibility:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: The article needs some polishing and some new hooks would be appreciated. SounderBruce 01:20, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

I'm slightly surprised that the Conch Republic doesn't get even a brief mention in the article since that would work great as a hook. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:47, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
Note: nom hasn't edited in over a week, and hasn't edited this article since the review. If the nom doesn't return to editing in four days time, it may be time to mark it for closure. JuniperChill (talk) 15:56, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Nominator is inactive and did not respond to the review. Regrettably the nomination is marked for closure. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 06:14, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
