Wikipedia:Articles for improvement/Nominations

< Wikipedia:Articles for improvement
(Redirected from Wikipedia:TAFINOM)

This page is for nominating articles to be listed as articles for improvement, from which the weekly collaborations are pulled. Any article or list on Wikipedia can be nominated, although articles that do not meet the suggested criteria are unlikely to gain consensus.


Instructions

edit

Suggested criteria

edit

Though there are no firm criteria, in general, ideal AFI articles are:

  • Highly important topics. Anything that has top or high importance to a WikiProject is likely highly important.
  • Interesting to the general public. This can be evidenced by page views. Nominations with less than 200 views per day rarely succeed.
  • Needing of improvement, with expansion opportunity. Stubs; start-class, and short C-class articles are the most ideal for improvement. Give due consideration before nominating higher-quality articles.
  • Not targets of controversy. Keep in mind that controversial articles (articles that are the subject of heated discussion, edit warring, or questioned notability) can be very difficult to improve within a week.

Review process

edit
  • Any user may vote on the suitability of nominations to be listed at AFI.
  • Please use the code #'''Support''' or #'''Oppose''', add your reasoning, and sign with ~~~~. You may also add comments. Improperly formatted votes may be missed by the bot.
  • MusikBot will mark nominations with at least 3 net support votes (3 more support votes than oppose votes) as approved and those with at least 3 net oppose votes as unapproved. The bot will automatically list successful nominations and archive all closed nominations.
  • Registered members of the project may choose to override the bot at their discretion in instances where straight vote totals do not appear to reflect community consensus.

Nominating an article

edit
  1. Check that the article you want to nominate isn't already listed.
  2. Post the nomination at the top of the list in the appropriate category, using this code: 
    ===(Article title)===
{{AFI nom|article=(Article title)|class=unknown|hits=(Number of daily hits)}}
*(Nomination text) ~~~~
  3. Fill out the parts in parentheses. You can find an article's class on its talk page and its approximate daily hits using this tool.
  4. Please do not support your own nominations.

Turkish television drama

Turkish television drama – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 224 daily hits

  • Second largest exporter of TV series worldwide after the US, I think that establishes importance on its own. Also very prominent in Turkish social and political discourse. Full of original research, poor sourcing, excessive/irrelevant detail, badly written English, poor formatting etc. I have been working on improving it over the past several weeks (mostly trimming or outright deleting parts), but it's too large of an article for me to improve on my own. Especially needs better context provided for most sections. Wreaderick (talk) 11:49, 24 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Support, per above. SVcode(Talk) 21:45, 10 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Frozen yogurt

Frozen yogurt – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 152 daily hits

  • This vital article has only maybe one good section (describing how it is made). Its history seems like it could use a broad approach to improvement and attention from a more global audience could help it a lot, since it seems to only talk about the United States right now. -- Reconrabbit (talk) 16:43, 14 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Bus rapid transit in the Denver metropolitan area

edit

Bus rapid transit in the Denver metropolitan area – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 13 daily hits

  • This article isn't very important and has an extremely low number of hits, but it's in quite bad shape at the moment and I'm not in a position to rewrite it myself. I created this article, and I don't want to give the impression that I knowingly wrote something bad with the intention to hand it off to the Wikipedia community to fix. I've been meaning to do it for a while now, but just... never got around to it. Denvertransitnerd (talk) 16:41, 6 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Oppose, AFI doesn't do non-notable articles. It's all right that the article isn't in good condition. It doesn't have to be perfect, just without huge issues. SVcode(Talk) 23:49, 21 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Free-ranging dog

edit

Free-ranging dog – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 218 daily hits

Also known as a "stray dog", "village dog" etc., basically a catch-all article for non-pet dogs. Level 5 vital article, the section structure is odd, a fair amount of unsourced content, and generally poor sourcing. Also, there are no African countries in the By country section. It may need sub-articles, or at the very least rewriting with good overview sources Kowal2701 (talk, contribs) 15:29, 13 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Centre hospitalier universitaire Sainte-Justine – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 13 daily hits

Comment: There is no spelling issue here. The "inconsistent British and American spellings" are simply the accepted spellings in Canadian English, which the article is written in since it is a hospital in Canada. — Kawnhr (talk) 18:37, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Support, high importance on a wikiproject and needs more expansion and citations. SVcode(Talk) 23:53, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support - needs project help.--BabbaQ (talk) 08:07, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose - I don't see it being that important to the big image. It is definetly not of interest to the general public, after all. To compensate, above is listed the capital of the Maldives, Malé. The capital is much more deserving than this non-vital city Earth605 (talk) 10:03, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Support, just a weak one, but a major project with a high importance rating in a country WikiProject seems really big. There are many unsourced parts and is not updated. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 (My "blotter") 08:53, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Greater Bengaluru Authority

Greater Bengaluru Authority – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 118 daily hits

  • The municipal body that was responsible for the administration of Bengaluru, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike with 225 wards was abolished and replaced with five individual municipal bodies: Bengaluru Central City Corporation with 63 wards, Bengaluru North City Corporation with 72 wards, Bengaluru South City Corporation with 72 wards, Bengaluru East City Corporation with 50 wards and Bengaluru West City Corporation with 112 wards, all under this apex body Greater Bengaluru Authority, responsible for coordinating with the different municipal bodies, Government of Karnataka and other parastatal agencies in Bengaluru. The new municipal bodies are due for election in August of 2026 (2026 Greater Bengaluru Authority elections). The main page nominated here seems to be way behind in the information updated and the depth in the content. I tried to discuss in the article's talk page, but no one seems to discuss there. Also, I found there is no wiki pages for these new municipal bodies. I heard this is the place you go to find people to improve an article, so here I am. Looking foreword for a positive response. Thank you. ~2026-23412-42 (talk) 12:27, 24 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Nelson, British Columbia

edit

Nelson, British Columbia – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 204 daily hits

  • Please excuse me if I'm posting this request in the wrong place. The article Nelson, British Columbia seems to have been started in 2003. It now has a history of more than two decades, through which many corrections and improvements have been posted, along with a great deal of informational content expansion. It still has a "Start Class" notice at the top. This now seems inappropriate. Please help by considering whether this status may now be changed. Thanks.Joel Russ (talk) 13:56, 30 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Oppose, sorry, but this is the wrong place to reassess the class of this article, I feel like peer review maybe a good place to start. SVcode(Talk) 23:53, 21 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Kenyon

edit

Robert Kenyon – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - N/A daily hits

  • The new article on Kenyon covers a politician who is a candidate (and one of two likely to succeed based on polling and analysis) in the 2026 Makerfield by-election. The by-election is a major event as it has ramifications on whom the next UK prime minister might be. Improved coverage of the candidate is therefore in the interest of the public and Wikipedia readers. For now, I'd like to please ask specifically for feedback on how to improve it to B-class standard. Thank you! 13tez (talk) 23:10, 20 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Amplify Energy – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 8 daily hits

  • This article has strange prose. The flow of text throughout could be vastly improved, and some info could likely quite easily be removed as irrelevant. It currently acts more as a list of tangentially-related information, rather than a proper article about the company in question. There are also numerous direct links which should be properly cited. I have made some improvements, but more are required. Low number of daily hits, so not necessarily a priority, but adding it here as I edited it today.

  1. Oppose This article seems to have more than enough information for what it is ( a trademarked word used occasionally in sports), and adding more would only bloat the article. All it needs is splitting the large "Trademark" section and adding a few more references to it. For the rest of the article, references are provided, and it only really needs inline citations. Altogether, it doesn't seem like the article needs a lot of work from where it is at. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Somepinkdude (talk • contribs) 01:33, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
