I am nominating this for featured list removal because it does not meet the criteria. Criterion 1 is not met, since I can spot several flow and style issues. The entire lead is unreferenced, despite making several claims (such as only NWT having a drop in population etc.) Also, the article starts with the archaic "this is a list of..." and breaches the MOS, for instance by wikilinking years (criterion 5). Images lack proper alt-texts (criterion 5b). Arsenikk ^(talk) 20:45, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
