Instructions

Introduction

The following are nominations to become a Today's article for improvement (TAFI) entry. Please do not nominate an article unless you are fairly certain that it meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Though there are no firm criteria, in general, ideal TAFI 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.
• 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 or edit warring) can be very difficult to improve within a week.

Successful nominations have few or no objections and at least 3 net support votes (3 more support votes than oppose votes). Unsuccessful nominations can be archived after 21 days of no discussion or after 3 net opposing votes.

Any user may nominate and support or oppose an article below, however only members of this project may close nominations as successful or unsuccessful.

• Please review articles based on how suitable they are to be TAFI articles (see the introduction above)

Interesting topic.--Coin945 (talk) 10:39, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

1. Support per page view stats, is also only Start class: potential for expansion. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 20:06, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
2. Support - per nomination.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:54, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
3. Oppose – Rather sensationalistic, and a bit of a WYSIWYG (a restaurant with scantily-clad ladies showing off breasts). More culturally-significant topics can be improved instead, such as Izakaya (8,570 page views in October 2015) and Gastropub (6,919 page views in October 2015). North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:00, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
4. Oppose - may not be suitable for some people. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 08:41, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
5. Oppose per WP:NOTNEO conerns and Northamerica1000.—Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 01:15, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
6. Oppose - As a bloke I would love nothing more than to support this but being realistic ... this shouldn't really be here for just obvious reasons.... –Davey2010^Talk 12:47, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Agreed. Just as I said. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 07:43, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Savoriness

Savoriness – (page view stats · edit · talk · history)

• Can be expanded. A known taste. A more general term for Umami, where Umami is more specific to the type of taste. This article talks about the opposite of sweetness. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 06:33, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

1. Support per High Importance in WikiProject Food and Drink. Rubbish computer (Merry Christmas!: ...And a Happy New Year!) 23:42, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

History and politics

Isabella I of Castile – (page view stats · edit · talk · history)

• An important article about one of the most important women of the Renaissance, who was directly or indirectly involved with the Spanish Inquisition, Early exploration of the Americas, the end of the Reconquista and the expulsion of the Jews. Not necessarily one of the most viewed, but nevertheless is important. Not sure how controversial it will get, but there hasn't been very busy. LeftAire (talk) 15:23, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

1. Oppose Uncertain as to its significance. Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 13:23, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
2. Support per nom.--BabbaQ (talk) 16:17, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
3. Oppose - Not really notable - IMHO this belongs at AFD and to be honest it would be a waste of time of improving as it'll probably end up at AFD at some point. –Davey2010^Talk 12:57, 3 December 2015 (UTC).

3. Oppose because it's already very well-developed. WP:GOCE may be a better project to address concerns about prose matters. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 07:59, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

1. Support Potential for expansion. Rubbish computer (Merry Christmas!: ...And a Happy New Year!) 23:44, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
2. Oppose seems very limited and his notability is questionable based on the discography — Preceding unsigned comment added by Knope7 (talk • contribs) 02:14, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Linda Ronstadt

Linda Ronstadt – (page view stats · edit · talk · history) - 1250 daily hits

• Suffering from massive fan cruft this bloated article would be a fun and easy article to fix because it needs to be pruned rather than plumped up. It is 152,544 bytes in length including prose, links, etc. Currently it is a B-class article receiving over 30,000 page views per month and we could probably bring it up to G.A. or F.A. status. It has 11 dead links.

1. Support per nom.--BabbaQ (talk) 16:15, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
2. Oppose – Already highly developed; may not realize significant improvements from this project. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 07:58, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
3. Support per nom: could be useful for teaching new editors about encyclopedic versus unencyclopedic content. Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 21:04, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
4. Support – we can help with cleanup instead of expansion. sst✈^(discuss) 16:05, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Buddhism

Buddhism – (page view stats · edit · talk · history)

• Major world religion, been over nine years since even considered for GA status and worth improving. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 21:26, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

1. Support – Huge religion with lots of coverage in reliable sources. We should be able to fix it up in one week. {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 11:21, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
2. support - per nom.--BabbaQ (talk) 16:29, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
3. Oppose – Already highly developed. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 22:44, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
4. Oppose per Northamerica1000, also likely to be controversial so difficult to improve in a week. Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 13:50, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
5. Oppose per Northamerica1000 - Article doesn't need improvements as it's probably watched and improved by quite a few. –Davey2010^Talk 12:52, 3 December 2015 (UTC).

• DSD is an alternative distribution model to centralized distribution and tends to be used extensively in the food industry for fresh products such as milk and bread where minimizing the number of days in the supply chain is a key concern.Lbertolotti (talk) 14:40, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

3. Oppose – A bit niche/specialized; may not attract a week's worth of improvements per the topic's limited scope. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 22:33, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
4. Oppose per Northamerica1000. Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 14:06, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
