I am delisting this article. The lead section is too short, and does not adequately summarize the topic. Most of the sections are too short as well. There are serious issues with the completeness criterion of WP:WIAGA. I am not satisfied that a proper GA review was done in the first place. It looks like a very quick job.

To be honest, I strongly disagree with your delisting. The lead is fine for the length of the article, and it gives a basic overview of the route. Could you please explain to me what issues there are with the GA criteria and completeness? The sections are as long as they can be. This is a route which is just over 6 miles long, and there just isn't any more information which can b e included into the article. If you still think you can find more, I encourage you to try. Also, it had a fine GA review. What wasn't proper about it? It went through all the steps. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 18:34, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Due to the comments of other reviewers on the GA reassessment, and after re-reviewing the article, I had incorrectly delisted. So I am reinstating the article. I apologize about the confusion. Dr. Cash (talk) 14:48, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
