[edit] Reasons for GA failure
First: The article is simply not comprehensive enough. Can we find some history on these things? Why did they evolve like that? What role have they played in the city's growth and development. The term may be new but what it refers to isn't.
Second: Lack of key citations, despite brevity of article. "... and has even been used in official council documents". Something like this, especially when the article admits the term is a neologism, absolutely must be cited. Ditto with "...a technique which Jones explicitly acknowledged as inspired by the Pictorial Guides of Alfred Wainwright." If he said it somewhere, we need a note.
Third: Footnotes insufficient and not in the proper format.
It seems like there's a lot more to be done (I'd consider this article start-class at best at the moment), but certainly once these are addressed it can be renominated. Daniel Case 07:28, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
