- Result: delisted. The article has lots of maintenance tags in it, and many references lack author/publisher/year/date infromation. In addition, there has been no progress since this GAR began.
This article has not been reviewed in any manner for over 2.5 years. There are areas which need significant improvement and sourcing, especially paragraphs in the history section, nearly all of the culture section, demographics (family, age, and wage data all unsourced), government, and transportation. I'm not calling for the article to be delisted at this moment, but rather would like to bring rather obvious problems to the community's attention. However, if some of these flagrant errors are not addressed, I do not believe the article continues to adhere to the GA criteria. Best, epicAdam (talk) 16:47, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- Comment. Just my opinion, but this article doesn't meet WP:CITE in several sections. Either [citation needed] is used or there is simply no or few citations.

- As big as LA is, I assume there are many reliable sources out there. Calebrw (talk) 02:03, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- Delist, for the citation needed tags that have been left un-addressed. Nikki311 04:05, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
- Delist, primarily due to citation issues. The article sports more flags than the U.N. Building. While some of the citation flags are overkill, many of them are legitimate. There's been little progress to bring the article up to par. Majoreditor (talk) 04:50, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
- Delist, a lot of bare refs here. Many cite needed tags.--Loodog (talk) 20:47, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
