What is a good article?
A good article is—
- {{Wikipedia:Good article criteria/GAC|1}}:
- (a) {{Wikipedia:Good article criteria/GAC|1a}}; and
- (b) {{Wikipedia:Good article criteria/GAC|1b}}.[1]
- {{Wikipedia:Good article criteria/GAC|2}}:
- {{Wikipedia:Good article criteria/GAC|3}}:
- (a) {{Wikipedia:Good article criteria/GAC|3a}};[3] and
- (b) {{Wikipedia:Good article criteria/GAC|3b}}.
- {{Wikipedia:Good article criteria/GAC|4}}.
- {{Wikipedia:Good article criteria/GAC|5}}.[4]

Notes
<templatestyles src="Reflist/styles.css" />
- ↑ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style is not required for good articles.
- ↑ a b In-line citations, if provided, should follow either the Harvard references or the cite.php footnotes method, but not both in the same article. Science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines.
- ↑ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required by WP:FAC; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not necessarily outline every part of the topic, and broad overviews of large topics.
- ↑ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of constructive editing should be placed on hold.
- ↑ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
- ↑ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement for Good articles. However, if images (including other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.

Notting Hill name
I once saw a very old ordinance survey map where Notting Hill was called "Noding Hill"
Pauline Jackson 30 July 2011 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.19.195.143 (talk) 10:28, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
"Caribbean immigrants were drawn to the area in the 1950s, partly because of the dubious practices followed by the landlord Peter Rachman,"
Clarification required on this sentence. What 'dubious practises' is the author referring to? What precisely was the connection between Rachman's activities and Carribean immigrants? 195.112.55.34 (talk) 12:09, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
'New Crossrail Station'
This section reads like campaigning material; I question whether it's really appropriate for the page. Ref WP:SOAP and WP:BALL ---- 86.1.64.115 (talk) 00:55, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Economic Impact
The figure of £93 million is based on a multiplier applied to a direct figure of £45m direct benefits. I question this. The multiplier is drawn from the British arts Festivals association who are not a disinterested source and it is only applied to benefits not to costs. All the stall holders along Portobello Road are closed down & replaced by other stalls selling - almost without exception - barbecued food, yet this is might be seen as a neutral economic effect. I would also suggest that it is unlikely that more casual traders pay the same rate of taxes (if any) that the regular stalls might pay. Householders pay upto £400 to have their properties boarded up. Obviously this creates profit for builders (plus the "multiplier") but the householder experiences this as a loss which cannot even be claimed on insurance, as a burglary would. In which case an economic argument could be made for the positive effects of burglary or theft. In 2015 Boris Johnson said that 407 arrests (which seems likely to have been exceeded in 2016) was unacceptable - but has to be seen in context of "£93m benefits." In other words it IS acceptable due to this oft quoted figure. 02:02, 30 August 2016 (UTC).-Streona (talk) 02:03, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
