Where in North Dakota Is Carmen Sandiego? edit

  Where in North Dakota Is Carmen Sandiego? – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 10 daily hits

  • Very interesting discovery for me, as a lover of the Carmen Sandiego franchise. This state-specific game has scant sources on the internet, yet is a very fascinating piece of gaming history.--Coin945 (talk) 18:44, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Oppose due to low page view stats and Low importance in WikiProject Video games. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 19:47, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • FWIW, I wouldn't base any decisions on the "importance" scale. Firstly, I find this scale very dubious personally and having little actual value due to the subjectivity of it all and lack of regulation. Secondly, most of the articles I nominated are very new, and the talk page templates were added swiftly after creation; the "Low" importance is the default choice despite it actually being true or not.--Coin945 (talk) 03:34, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support - per nomination.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:51, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose – Per the article, it's the "arguably the least-known title in the franchise". As such, it is unpopular, and the article receives low page views: 191 views in the last 30 days. Unlikely to attract much interest. North America1000 16:47, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Oppose – As User:Northamerica1000 said, it's probably too obscure to secure enough interest. Graham (talk) 00:24, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

{{Unapproved}}. No further input after 21 days. North America1000 01:58, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Oppose: may be better off merged with interpersonal relationship. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 20:02, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose – Already fairly developed, most points appear to already be covered, and proposed for merging. North America1000 15:11, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  2. Support - per nomination.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:55, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose – In poor shape, low page views, reads like a subjective essay. Rather than improved, it may need to be restarted from scratch (e.g. WP:TNT). North America1000 17:44, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    @Northamerica1000: In your opinion, do you think there's a valid core article idea here? (i.e should it be TNTed or deleted)--Coin945 (talk) 18:09, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    @Coin945: Parenting covers some aspects of this topic. I'm going to pass on researching the overall notability of the topic at this time. North America1000 18:14, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Taylor Swift edit

  Taylor Swift – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 11,700 daily hits

  • An article that has fairly recently been delisted from GA status. This article has an extremely high number of page views, with more than 1 million views in the past 90 days. I think running this through TAFI would allow editors to quickly fix the issues of the article. sst✈ 10:34, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Support - per fact that it was delisted. Extremely high number of hits and the fact that the article could be improved and possibly expanded at some sections.BabbaQ (talk) 16:57, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support per above. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 19:55, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Superstar (Jesus Christ Superstar song) edit

  Superstar (Jesus Christ Superstar song) – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 50 daily hits

  1. Support Potential for expansion and improvement. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 18:52, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment: I have changed the article's class to Start as it appeared too lengthly to be a stub, a rating automatically assigned to it. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 18:52, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support - per nom.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:46, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose – Unconvinced that an article about one song will receive much improvement over the course of a week. Many editors may not be interested in researching and expanding an article about one song. North America1000 18:49, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Oppose - Controversial themes and not very interesting.--Sige |д･) 05:44, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Oppose - The article doesn't appear sub-standered enough to merit a AFI. Catmando999 Check out his talk page! 06:20, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Oppose - though I have known Jesus Christ Superstar before, this article is not substandard enough in ratio to its page views to merit an AFI. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 01:26, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Support - also because of the unclear article flow. Also needs more images. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 01:30, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Oppose - I also know it but don't think it'd interest anyone and would quite honestly waste a week when a better subject could be picked and improved . –Davey2010Talk 13:07, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sad article for iconic edutainment series.--Coin945 (talk) 16:39, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Support The article has only one source! Catmando999 Check out his talk page! 03:22, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Oppose per only Low importance in its respective WikiProjects. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 22:50, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment @Rubbish computer:, the article's importance was incorrectly rated. I re-rated it as medium and high according to the Wikiproject.--Coin945 (talk) 05:33, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support per above points and high page view stats. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 11:29, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose – Not finding many sources that are about the topic. There's a few usable ones, but it's not very extensive.
    – Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
    – North America1000 05:45, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, just find some more. Two sources is much better than one, three sources is better than two, but adding one extra source from an article with hundreds of citations is not such a huge difference (other than verification of a certain statement). Here, we need more citations for proving the article is notable and is of any value. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 01:40, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    In this case, this article is notable, but not proved well enough. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 01:41, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Support - per every supporting point. Yes, many people know Reader Rabbit, yet it appears very in-universe. Needs more sources describing Reader Rabbits reception, development, etc. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 08:39, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  2. Support - per nomination.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:57, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose – May not actually be improved much. How much is actually written about this game in reliable sources? From a cursory search, many sources only provide passing mentions. North America1000 18:30, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Oppose - just as Northamerica1000 says, reliable sources are not the main TAFI intention. I would much prefer improvement of the actual article content, rather than just source improvement. Source improvement is only complementary. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 01:29, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Support per nom. Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 13:53, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Support – Makes sense to have a complete encyclopedia. North America1000 04:27, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Neutral – Not supporting or opposing at this time. The content already exists in similar format compared to other list articles at Economy of Oceania, which includes a list. I'm not sure if this would be of strong interest to diverse editors over the course of a week. The list is already developed, so it just needs a few paragraphs summarizing the content of the list. Struck my initial !vote above. North America1000 01:50, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Absolute support - because Wikipedia should not be fully Euro-biased or US-biased. Oceania is needed too. Well, we just need to get started with this article before we continue thinking about anything. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 01:32, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  3. Oppose – A simple topic about a business term. Would this actually be improved much? It seems that it's already defined in the article, so it's likely that expansion would involve documenting various business alliances that exist. E.g.
