This 2008 listing contains significant uncited material and has not been adequately updated (census figures from 2010, citations from the mid-2000s being used for current events, etc.) ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 02:54, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's also a fair bit of puffery, needless adjectives, boosterism, and the like. So I think currently, it does not pass on the neutrality criterion. I'll try to tidy some of that up. Seraphimblade Talk to me 21:45, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
