Review section[edit]

I am nominating this featured article for review because more than 2 months ago, RD posted the following on the talk page

This older Featured Article does not meet the current FA criteria. There are several unsourced paragraphs, the "notable people" section is almost completely unsourced, and I could find trivia in the article. Virtually all links are from 2007/8. The sourcing seems weak for a Featured Article; for instance mightymac.org and grandhotel.com seem promotional and not high-quality. Article needs work and I see similar concerns directly above.

Issues are still present in the article with minimal editing since then so here we are. (t · c) buidhe 05:34, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Move to FARC: "Points of interest" section feels very WP:TRIVIA and WP:PROMO for tourism to the island. Devonian Wombat edited the article on June 19 but there hasn't been engagement since then. Z1720 (talk) 18:31, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Move to FARC - some cleanup has occurred, but it does not seem to be continuing. Sizable issues remain yet. Hog Farm _Talk 04:01, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
