A Line 1 train at Central Terminal station

The Manila Light Rail Transit System, commonly known as the LRT, is an urban rail transit system that primarily serves Metro Manila, Philippines. Although categorized as a light rail system because it originally used light rail vehicles, it presently has characteristics of a rapid transit system, such as high passenger throughput, exclusive right-of-way, and later use of full metro rolling stock. The LRT is jointly-operated by the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), a government corporation attached to the Department of Transportation (DOTr), and the Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC). Along with the Manila Metro Rail Transit System and the Metro Commuter Line of the Philippine National Railways, the system makes up Metro Manila's rail infrastructure. The LRT's 43.5-kilometer-route (27.0 mi) is mostly elevated and consists of two lines and 38 stations. (Full article...)

Support as nominator. Royiswariii Talk! 12:26, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Royiswariii, there is a lot of unsourced content in the article; this will need to be sorted out before there is any chance of it being TFA.
  I'm not sure why a singer is considered "similar" to a light transport system: are you sure you about that? There was a Singapore metro article as TFA in September, and there may have been others since, but that is more in line with "similar". - SchroCat (talk) 12:37, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I removed now, i added because it was a recently added on TFA so I thought it makes sense. Royiswariii Talk! 12:41, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
SchroCat can you enlighten me on the article are unsourced content? And to be fix as soon as possible.Royiswariii Talk! 12:57, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Look through the article: you can spot the easy ones by seeing if there is a citation at the end of every paragraph. No citation at the end means it's unsupported. - SchroCat (talk) 13:03, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I encountered some TFA that some end of the sentence that doesn't have sourced, it because the other sentence let's say the mid-sentence have a sourced but the last sentence haven't a sourced. I will mention Sky Harbor (formerly known as Akira123323) who major contributed on this article and nominated in FA 18 years ago. Royiswariii Talk! 13:20, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose much unsourced content, not an example of what would be considered an FA. 750 h+ 02:26, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the issues with unsourced content would have to be addressed outside of TFA. Elias / PSA 🏕️🪐 ^{[please make some noise]} 04:09, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not still FA quality, should probably go to FAR. QuicoleJR (talk) 20:15, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, folks. I was tagged by Royiswariii here so I figured I'd respond as a courtesy to all of you. I agree that if there are issues with the article, particularly with respect to sourcing, they should be addressed outside of TFA but I would think that dragging the article straight to FAR after a failed TFA nomination would be too hasty. The number of Wikipedians who work on Philippines-related topics is small enough as it is, and I would appreciate some patience when it comes to resolving any issues that may arise. Might be a good idea too for me to raise this with WP:TAMBAY so we know where to go from there. (In the interest of full transparency, I am actually working to shepherd another article through GA/N, so I hope to find time to give this article some well-deserved TLC once that process is fully wrapped up.) --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 04:29, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
