[edit] Cloverdale, British Columbia
- Reason
- Historical town with a legacy that continues into the present day. Current article is filled with Smallville stuff I added earlier -- hopefully there will be enough material there to remove the Smallville stuff (as it has more to do with the show than the town -- it's acting as filler right now).

[edit] Langara College

- Support
- Comments

[edit] Rosette (singer)
- Reason
- Instead of always doing articles on a place or a building, how about a person from the Vancouver area? For a bit of a change...

[edit] Greater Vancouver Regional District
- Reason
Looking at the GVRD article and then looking at articles about other metropolitan areas, it seems that it can use some improvement. I compared it to the Orange County, California article and I have to say that the GVRD article looks a bit bare by comparison. For example, the GVRD article talks about the geography of the region but not much about the history -- ie. how the area started to populate, how it grew, how it's growing today, etc. Also, a "points of interest" section similar to the Orange County article would be useful. It might not be a bad idea to re-do the entire GVRD page altogether, based on most of the elements from the Orange County article (which was done quite well, in my opinion).

- -Bobanny 15:18, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Needs much expanding, and along with Vancouver is our raison d'etre. I'm guessing that if a structure like BH mentions above were started, a fair bit of content could simply be lifted from other vanproject pages to fill it out, and then fine tuned.

[edit] Vancouver
- Reason
I've done some work in trying to get this article featured. The history section needs a complete rewrite; it does not cite sources. There are some choppy sections such as the transportion and economy sections; they read like outlines. See the FA nomination and peer review for feedback this article has recieved.

Comment I'd like to withdraw my support. Alot of work has been done on the Vancouver article since it was nominated; still needs work, but the main points, IMO, have been or are in the process of being addressed.Bobanny 15:11, 20 October 2006 (UTC) Comment Vancouver is now a featured article.Canadianshoper 22:13, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 1994 Stanley Cup riot
- Reason
- Historical importance in Vancouver's history. Notable event. Currently an orphaned article with no real substantial content.
- Support
- Comments
- there was a book published not long ago on riots in Vancouver history -- could be a possible avenue for expansion - turn it into a general Vancouver riots article.
[edit] Sports in Vancouver
- Reason
- Vancouver is very involved in sports, and always has been. The article has been rated high-importance by whoever ranked it. And it is very poorly done, and needs to be cleaned up.
