1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b ( MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a ( reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c ( OR): d ( copyvio and plagiarism):

• Infobox gives a population as at 2014. Have there been any more recent US census since 2014?
• Links to state routes in Infobox noted;
• Reference 19 does not mention the Hohokam people. It is the old City of Phoenix website. Is this reference really relevant here?
• Where is this (A town that had just over 65,000 residents in 1940 became America's sixth largest city by 2010, with a population of nearly 1.5 million, and millions more in nearby suburbs.) resourced from?
• Reference 172 requires subscription.

1. It is broad in its coverage.

   a ( major aspects): b ( focused):

• Founding and incorporation is well written and well referenced;
• 1960s to present doesn't quite present the migration issues raised in this reference.
• ^{citation needed} about ozone formation (Climate section)
• ^{citation needed} about particulate pollution
• interesting comment about dew point being at 21 °C
• This is a 2016-2017 issue: The Phoenix area hosts two annual college football bowl games: the Fiesta Bowl, played at State Farm Stadium,[248] and the Cheez-It Bowl, held at Sun Devil Stadium (though Chase Field has substituted as host while ASU's football stadium undergoes renovations) (needs updating)
• Bolles was the only reporter from a major U.S. newspaper to be murdered on U.S. soil due to his coverage of a story (283) Does this claim hold valid today?
• Are the statistics about car theft valid today?
• The statistics about Phoenix Union High School District are dated 2016. Are these valid?
• Arizona State University: what is the current enrollment? Is it still one of the largest public universities in the U.S.???
• The Healthcare status report is dated 2011. The figures given in the article are somewhat at variance from the retirement migration noted in the reference linked above. Is there a more recent health status report for Phoenix and the Phoenix Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) (officially known as the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler MSA ?
• 2010 (the last year for nationally reported figures) → is this correct? → is this valid?
• The population statistics seem to be at 2010, or 2012, depending on which table you look at.

1. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

• Yes, NPOV is presented in this article.

1. Overall:

In general, this is a well presented article but I am uncomfortable about the figures in the Infobox and the Demographics section; ditto the population section and the Healthcare sections. It seems that this article has not been comprehensively updated to reflect current numbers in Phoenix circa 2020, and related issues (education, etc). Looking at the Phoenix Herald this evening reflects quite the city. There are a few questions raised herein which merit attention.
