Lead

  • "Allahabad is the seventh most populous city in the state and the thirty-sixth most populous city in India" needs "As of ..."
  • "In 2011, it was ranked the world's 130th fastest growing city" – unsourced
  • Page nos. needed for ref #8
  • "The city's original name – Prayaga, or "place of offerings" – comes from its position at the sacred union of the rivers Ganges, Yamuna and Saraswati": Sentence is unclear. How do you correlate "place of offerings" with "sacred union".
  • The fact that Allahabad is the second-oldest city in India is unsourced and present only at the lead
  • I'm not sure what you mean by "plays a central role in the Hindu scriptures"
  • Link Doab
  • Area of 63.07 km2 is not mentioned anywhere in the article except lead
  • Allahabad City Council – ditto
  • You say that the city is the second-oldest in India while infobox mentions that it was founded in 1583 AD
  • Area of metropolitan city equals 5,424 km2 – not true, it's the area of the district

Etymology

  • The section is too small. Perhaps consider merging it with History if it can't be expanded further

Demographics

  • "Provisional data suggest a density of 1,087 people per km2 in 2011, compared to 901 in 2001" pertains to district data
  • The following sentences are either unsourced or incorrectly sourced
  • The last para of the section is sourced to "Provisional Population Totals, Census of India 2011; Urban Agglomerations/Cities having population 1 lakh and above" which no way conveys the information presented in the article.
    • I've not fully read the article. After going through a few sections, it feels like criterion 1 and 2 are not met. The prose is weak in many places, and many facts need to satisfy WP:V. The article needs to have a thorough copy-edit by a GOCE member. For now, I'm stopping my review and will have a look at it tomorrow. Vensatry (Ping) 12:35, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
