Hi, I think the article completely fails the test of Reliable Sources. As I pointed out in [Talk:Electric_vehicle_warning_sounds#Astonishing lack of peer-reviewed evidence]
I completely disagree with Miss Madeline's inference in [Talk:Electric_vehicle_warning_sounds#GA Review] that
On the contrary, that discussion says that most blogs should not be used, but there are some which might be OK if they are double-checked.
I suspect that rigorous research would result in conclusions which are the opposite of the article's 'commonsense' conclusions, and thus we should refrain from reporting bloggers' 'commonsense' conclusions. I think it is important to get this right, as lives could be saved or lost depending on what policy is implemented, and this article could interfere with the introduction of less-polluting vehicles.
I am doing this as a community reassessment because I am a new to doing GAs and MM is an experienced editor.

I'm sorry everybody - my closer inspection reveals that there are actually enough sources involving careful research for this article to be reasonably reliable. There are some important clarifications that I will make in the article, but I withdraw my call for delisting it as GA. Sorry again. BenevolentUncle (talk) 02:31, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
