CuteFTP edit

  CuteFTP – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 20 daily hits

  • This series of FTP client software has been used by many, yet the article lacks version history, and although it contains two external links containing review, actually reviews made by independent reliable sources are not sufficiently summarized in it.RekishiEJ (talk) 07:07, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Oppose. Essentially no hits (see the instructions), and computer articles don't need our help since they already benefit massively from Wikipedia's systemic bias. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 12:37, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    1. @Sdkb:How do you know that this article only has 15 hits? I've clicked [1] and can not find the tool at all. And although the English Wikipedia does have systemic bias, actually some computer articles do not benefit from it at all, for example, PowerArchiver (lacks version history section).--RekishiEJ (talk) 04:26, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      RekishiEJ, click page view stats right next to where I put 15; it's a rough average, but even if it's actually 20 it'd need to be orders of magnitude higher to have a shot here. I'm not sure what you mean by "lacks version history", but again, this is really not something where I could see myself being persuaded to change my !vote. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 04:37, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      1. @Sdkb: "Lacks version history" means lacks a section summarizing the release history of a particular software, making readers unable to know significant changes of each major version from that article.--RekishiEJ (talk) 06:36, 20 April 2021 (UTC) changed a bit 13:15, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose. I chosen oppose because this article has very few hits but if the hits were high, I would support because it can do more expanding. SVcode(Talk) 15:10, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Critical Role edit

  Critical Role – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 2,452 daily hits

  1. Oppose. It's a normal C-class article; I don't see major need for improvement. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 23:32, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Oppose. The article looks good and there is one citation needed tag. Also the article is in C class which is regular. The article doesn't need expanding so oppose even though it has many hits. SVcode(Talk) 13:10, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose.per above, what it needs is copyediting.Ankit (Talk with me) 13:23, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dice edit

  Dice – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 1,069 daily hits

  1. Oppose. While I can definitely see why it was delisted, I don't see enough major areas for improvement to warrant AFI getting involved. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 23:31, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose Article looks pretty good. SVcode(Talk) 12:44, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Housing edit

  Housing – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 185 daily hits

The lead article for the {{Living spaces}} sidebar, and it's woefully underdeveloped. For instance, no images. It's getting far fewer hits than it should for such a broad topic, possibly indicating orphan-esque problems. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 11:09, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Support I agree because it can do more expansion and rewriting. SVcode(Talk) 19:25, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support – Easily expandable, and a noteworthy topic. North America1000 13:57, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Soil edit

  Soil – (page view stats • edit • talk • history)

Despite being a level-3 vital article, this article has a lot of room for improvement. For example some details could be moved to more detailed articles and summarized better for the general reader. Chidgk1 (talk) 08:11, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Support. I see MOS issues in the lead and the overall length probably exceeds WP:TOOBIG. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 16:34, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support. The article is too long and complex for the reader. SVcode(Talk) 17:53, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Roller coaster edit

  Roller coaster – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 709 daily hits

  • Roller coasters are popular in many countries and known by many. This article has some sections that need more references. This article also has many page views a day. SVcode(Talk) 01:26, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Godi media edit

Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

  1. Neutral. The article is still pretty new, having only been created in December. I'd say we should maybe give it some time, as it deals with a hot-button issue that is likely to attract attention that can sometimes help an article develop (and sometimes lead to NPOV problems). If it's still in this state and drawing this many views in a year or so, I'd say it'd be a good AFI candidate. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 16:37, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose. There is an active W:AfD discussion for this article.Ankit (Talk with me) 14:09, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose, per above. SVcode(Talk) 14:25, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Asian fetish edit

  Asian fetish – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 750 daily hits

  • Salient topic in the news, given 2021 Atlanta spa shootings. Like basically all of our sociology articles, it's in terrible shape, completely unillustrated, with poor sectioning, and tags for neutrality and globalization. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 19:23, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Support per the nominator, definitely an article that should get more attention from editors. Dial (talk) 22:27, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support per nom. Ankit (Talk with me) 14:25, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Support. Very high number of hits, and it's a trending topic, could use the project's help. Ankit (Talk with me) 15:46, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support - Could need to projects help.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:21, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Economics of climate change mitigation edit

  Economics of climate change mitigation – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 15 daily hits

  • Subject is extremely important but article is out of date and confusingly hard to read. I, and I suspect others in the climate change project, don't understand economics well enough and don't want to spend lots of time learning economics. So I asked at the economics project but no takers. I understand climate change so could answer any questions on that side. Any chance of any of you guys giving it a thorough rework? Chidgk1 (talk) 08:32, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Support. I decided to change because this article has tons of tags and needs more improvement even though it has few page hits and this is an pretty important article. SVcode(Talk) 19:13, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support. Though the hit count is low, the article is rated high importance on many project pages. I think it could use some help.Ankit (Talk with me) 13:20, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Support - Low number of hits. But could definitely get some help from us.BabbaQ (talk) 17:23, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Former executive editor of The New York Times, the top editorial position at the United States' premier newspaper of record. Despite this, article is in atrocious shape (start class is generous), with bare URLs in the bibliography, no infobox, etc. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 22:15, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Health Service Executive cyberattack – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 600+ daily hits

  • Article has mid-importance to WikiProjects Ireland & Crime. Article was also mentioned on the Portal:Current events on May 14. The portal has 40k-50k daily views. Elijahandskip (talk) 02:13, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Oppose. The attack happened only days ago; AFI is not a good place to seek help with current events articles. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 05:01, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose, It happened recently so we have to wait until its stable and can be a place to edit war so no. SVcode(Talk) 13:37, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose per above, this is far too recent an event for AFI-style article assistance. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 17:32, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

1 BC edit

  1 BC – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 159 daily hits

  • This is an important article about a year but there are many problems like missing info and refs. SVcode(Talk) 19:06, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Oppose. There are so few hits, the problems would have to be egregious to warrant our involvement, and I'm not seeing that, just general start-class type issues. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 21:49, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose Like many articles, there's work to be done here! However, I agree that there are many better candidates. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 12:40, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose as per reasons provided by other editors above. Don't be unhappy about this; you can always work on that article by your own. --littleb2009Have a chat? 16:08, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sexual abuse edit

  Sexual abuse – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 1,971 daily hits

  • I'd personally have thought this would be a vital article. In any event, massive pageviews for a start-class article dealing with an exceptionally serious topic. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 17:06, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Support, I changed to support because if there's some improvement need to be made, it would go into AFI. It can be expanded and updated with new info, but the article has pretty good prose. SVcode(Talk) 12:21, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support - Could need the peojects help for sure.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:12, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Support A vital topic whose corresponding English Wikipedia article is still below B-rated, meaning it still requires a lot of work (by the way. I've updated the hits parameter, since it is more popular after the nomination).--RekishiEJ (talk) 06:07, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
