Detonation
Detonation – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 137 daily hits
- This article though has low hits, needs some more expansion for an article that's really important. SVcode(Talk) 22:48, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- Support - expansion could be done.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:00, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose: I can't see any vital problem with this article. Purely long enough with good sourcing. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 00:53, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose, strongly. Rail topics benefit massively from systemic bias — they are the exact opposite of the area we should be focusing attention on with this project. The article isn't featured but is in perfectly decent shape. Sdkb talk 20:01, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose - agree with above; rail transport has a lot of enthusiasts already, and this could go to the relevant Wikiproject I think. Stockhausenfan (talk) 10:47, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose per Sdkb, WP:TRAIN can take this on. GoldRomean (talk) 01:09, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
Arts
The arts
The arts – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 562 daily hits
- Level 1 vital article. This article is at B, but needs elaboration. It has many sections that are quite small, with at least one only two sentences in length. As one of the 10 level 1 articles, it should be a priority for improvment. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 03:34, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Vancouver International Airport
Vancouver International Airport – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 618 daily hits
- As a citizen of British Columbia, I feel like this article, as a Start-class article, has many expansion opportunities, and is in need of additional citations. In the infobox, the aerial image of the airport dates back to 2009, and since then, the airport has changed with some expansions, part of a "YVR 2037 Master Plan." I'm aiming to get this article to FA-class. Don't get me wrong, this article is relatively long, but I feel like this Start-class article could use some improvement. 2600 etc (talk) 01:14, 13 December 2025 (UTC)
Centre hospitalier universitaire Sainte-Justine
Centre hospitalier universitaire Sainte-Justine – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 13 daily hits
- I don't know if hospitals are a part of everyday life, but whatever. What I'm egging at here is the sentences in this article, which use inconsistent British and American spellings, à la Adidas Al Rihla (which is also being nominated.) Please see my discussion for more information. I will be making a to-do list and reaching out to Eric72, the creator of the article. 2600 etc (talk) 17:29, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
- 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)

Hulhumalé
Hulhumalé – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 85 daily hits
- The article currently has old information about Hulhumalé and there are barely any citations that cover the article. There is also barely any information about Hulhumalé in the article. Unilandofma(Talk to me!) 11:22, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Support, high importance on a wikiproject and needs more expansion and citations. SVcode(Talk) 23:53, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Support - needs project help.--BabbaQ (talk) 08:07, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
- 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)
- 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.

Tobler's first law of geography
Tobler's first law of geography – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 65 daily hits
- Tobler's first law of geography is a widely cited and important aspect of the discipline. It is one of the foundations of spatial analysis and one of the primary results of the 21st century "Quantitative revolution". The article is listed as a "start" class and can be tremendously improved. There is a significant amount of peer-reviewed literature related to the topic.GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 22:09, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose, not notable. SVcode(Talk) 21:54, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

- Try searching for it on Google Scholar. Note the titles of the articles, and citation counts. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 07:01, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

The Road Not Taken
The Road Not Taken – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 1079 daily hits
- This is arguably one of Frost's most famous poems if not of all poetry, at least in the United States, and therefore I feel like the article needs to be improved. The article has some issues currently—it is fairly short, has analysis and popular culture sections that need expanding. I feel like the article should not lean so heavily into the one interpretation of the poem as ironic, as it seems to do in the reception section; while it may be more "correct," at least by how Frost wrote it, but the popular interpretation of the poem is valid in its own right. Honestly, I feel like a lot of the content relating to how the text is misunderstood should be under the analysis section instead. FieryRaven (talk) 16:02, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- Support - needs projects help. Improvements could be done, indeed.BabbaQ (talk) 00:38, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Support, needs more expansion. SVcode(Talk) 00:14, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, those are minor issues and you also want the article to be focused. Not like 50% In Popular culture. 48JCL 23:28, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, not convinced it is vital enough to focus on over something else. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 19:37, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose - I think the topic is important, but the article (though could use improvement) is not in horrible shape. GoldRomean (talk) 18:10, 18 November 2025 (UTC)

A supplement list of ghost forest sites would be helpful to possibly relate them to the earthquakes/tsunamis/other sources that contributed to their formation. AHIOH [T]/[C]

- Oppose Ghost forests aren't notable enough for AFI for a mile. Only 48 hits for an article that is not vital and doesn't carry much weight is unacceptable for me. Earth605 (talk) 12:44, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

- This article is now considered vital at level 5, and a lot of art designers love it, yet it is of Start-class, having two inline templates ({{failed verification}} and {{dubious}}), thus it definitely should be an AFI, despite having a low daily-hit number.--RekishiEJ (talk) 17:27, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Amplify Energy
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. Husskeyy (talk) 09:21, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Mike Smith (actor) – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 970 daily hits
The sentences in this biography of a living person use inconsistent British and American spellings, and this BLP also needs additional citations for verification. I've made a to-do list highlighting those issues. 2600 etc (talk) 17:53, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
- "Inconsistent British and American spellings" = Canadian English, which is neither consistently "British" nor consistently "American" in its spelling conventions and instead uses a mixture of both. And since Mike Smith is a Canadian actor known for a Canadian TV show, WP:TIES mandates the use of Canadian, not British or American, English in his article. So precisely what spelling in the article are you claiming to be inconsistent with standard Canadian English? Bearcat (talk) 14:38, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

I changed the spellings on that article to align with the {{Use British English}} template. However, I’m still wondering if all sentences in Adidas Al Rihla should use American, British or Canadian spelling. I’ve discussed this issue on the talk page, as well as having reached out to the creator of this article and made a to-do list. 2600 etc (talk) 19:19, 2 November 2025 (UTC)

- 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.
