GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct: 
Article has a clear and concise prose, spelling and grammar are satisfactory. ShiriEditsTalk 04:31, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation: 
The concourse design allows an open view of the platforms, giving the station a "grand" feel. MOS:PUFFERY says that peacock words should be avoided. Make it more neutral without imparting information. ShiriEditsTalk 04:21, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
Reworded. ZKang123 (talk) 00:50, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
Is it verifiable with no original research?
A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline: 
Reference layout is satisfactory. ShiriEditsTalk 04:31, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines: 
Some of the sources come from first-party .gov websites (Ministry of Transport, Land Transport Authority, etc.). Add more reliable secondary or tertiary sources. SpodleTalk 00:46, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
In reply to this, there's actually not many independent sources on the station design and construction. It's not that of a significant station that warranted commentary by other media. It's a general problem for Singapore MRT stations in general. ZKang123 (talk) 00:49, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
@ZKang123: Well I'm surprised that you, an actual native Singaporean and the person who nominated this article, responded to me. Well the point you made about MRT stations in Singapore not having big coverage is surprising to me. In my country, MRT (they have the same acroynm. that makes it more confusing!) are treated like they are building a skyscraper to rival the Burj Khalifa. You can easily find secondary or tertiary sources if you wanted to find sources for, say, the MRT-7. News channels here run morning news segments when a new train line is announced.  That is a pretty big difference from my country's coverage  and your country's coverage of rapid train stations. I wonder why news channels in your country don't have the level of coverage than what our news channels when a new rapid train station is announced. Are rapid transit are so ubiquitous that literally every single part of Singapore is covered by rapid transit? I'm curious to why that is the case. SpodleTalk 01:03, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
Well, at this point the Singapore MRT spans almost the whole island. Plus, for this station, its part of a four-line extension through an industrial area, so it isnt totally big news compared to, say, a whole new line. Also, the Land Transport Authority isnt like willing to divulge too much technical information to the public for some reason. ZKang123 (talk) 01:36, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
C. It contains no original research: 
All statements have proper citations. ShiriEditsTalk 04:25, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism: 
Little to no detections on copyvio. Most detections are just saying the name of Singaporean rapid transit stations.

Is it broad in its coverage?
A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic: 
Article covers main aspects. SpodleTalk 08:40, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style): 
Article focuses on the main point, without adding intricate detail. SpodleTalk 08:40, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Is it neutral?
It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each: 
Article represents viewpoints fairly and has no editorial bias. SpodleTalk 09:10, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Is it stable?
It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute: 
Very stable article, most edits are made to improve it.  SpodleTalk 04:34, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content: 
All images have proper Creative Commons copyright tags and no images need to have a Fair use tag. SpodleTalk 08:48, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions: 
Change some subtitles. Change the location subtitle to something like "Location of Tuas Link station in Singapore".
'Construction progress of the station' captions should be improved. Clarify which part of the station was being built in captions (except 'Existing station exterior'). SpodleTalk 08:40, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Actually if you realise they are all taken from the same perspective. Improved captions accordingly. ZKang123 (talk) 08:49, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Overall:
Pass or Fail: 
This article checks almost all the points for being GA. I'll recheck if this is satisfactory to pass GA. SpodleTalk 11:52, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
I think this is satisfactory enough to get GA'ed. Can't deny this article a GA since this article checks all the points to be GA.  Good article Sorry if it took too long for me to finish this GA. SpodleTalk 00:48, 26 June 2022 (UTC)


### Other
The extension consisted of four stations between this station and Tuas station (now renamed Gul Circle). Add link to Gul Circle MRT station.

Fixed. ZKang123 (talk) 05:45, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
The station serves developments such as Tuas Depot, Tuas Bus Terminal, Raffles Marina and Tuas Checkpoint. Unlink Raffles Marina due to the article not being made in English Wikipedia (as far as I am aware of). (PS: What is 'Raffles Marina'?) SpodleTalk 09:10, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
