Salt (chemistry)
Salt (chemistry) – (page view stats • • talk • history) - 1000 daily hits
- At rank 710 on VAPP, Salt (chemistry) lies. It is a level-4 vital article with 1000 daily pageviews, and, as opposed to its counterpart Salt, is ranked start-class. And this despite the fact that it has been nominated for TAFI in the past. The main issue is that it needs expansion. More can be found on the talk page. Opal|zukor(discuss) 19:49, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
- I'm neutral. The article definitely looks like it needs expansion, but it's a little technical of a topic, so it may be more of the kind of thing where it needs an expert to take it on rather than the kind of thing AFI can provide with general fixes. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 20:35, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

- Start-class vital article, rank 254 in Wikipedia:Vital articles/Popular pages. Main issue is suspected original research. Opalzukor (talk) 13:45, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
- Support. Lots of stuff I'm seeing even at a very quick glance. Missing images, tags that should be applied at broader level (and then addressed), opportunities for {{Excerpt}} use, etc. Popular page that needs our help. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 21:01, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

- JPxG recently pointed out this page. Problems are extensive and should be obvious. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 09:16, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: This article is, to be blunt, not very good. While the WP:NPOV issues would be obvious on an article titled "List of correct websites" or "List of websites that post the truth", for some reason a "List of fact-checking websites" is festooned with entries cited to themselves, entries with no citation at all, or entries cited to press releases. Since there are obvious political implications to inclusion (or exclusion) of any given site, I figure that involving myself with this cleanup would be a rather strenuous process, but I think someone ought to do it. jp×g 20:15, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

National Football Conference – (page view stats • • talk • history)
This is one of the major sports leagues in America, and the winner of the NFC conference goes to the Superbowl. The article is ranked of High importance, but the article is weak, and requires the help of WP:AFIN.--Atlantis77177 (talk) 10:06, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Love (Keyshia Cole song)
Love (Keyshia Cole song) – (page view stats • • talk • history) - 50 daily hits
- The article is about a song that is well-known and highly favored and has not only received moderate commercial success but has been covered by a lot of famous singers and I believe the article deserves to be heavily improved and expanded into a good article. There are a lot of missing information on the article, barely any sources and a few missing sections (Composition, Legacy and impact, Critical reception). If I am being honest, the entire article is a mess and it really deserves to be taken into attendance and improved with way more sources and info.--Tease Pillar (talk) 03:19, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

- (Nomination text) Sim0435 (talk) 13:30, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose. I made a few tiny tweaks, but apart from that, this looks like a normal start-class page on a fairly minor topic, so I don't think it's the best fit for AFI. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 19:01, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Google – (page view stats • • talk • history) - 24000 daily hits
- Coming in at number 7 in VA/PP, we have Google. Despite its very high view count (over 8750000 in total) it is ranked as C-class by every Wikiproject that reviewed it. The main issue is the criticism section, which may need to be (partly) rewritten to fit with summary style. Opal|zukor(discuss) 19:39, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
- Support. Most of it looks decent enough, but the proseline and other issues with the criticism section are enough to warrant our help, given that it's a very popular page. I wonder whether it might not be better to improve Criticism of Google and just transclude the lead of that page to Google's page with an {{Excerpt}}. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 20:45, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Khmer Rouge
Khmer Rouge – (page view stats • • talk • history) - 2,800 daily hits
- This is a top-importance article in several WikiProjects but is only C-class for all of them. It's frequently visited and is one of the most vital articles on Cambodia, the Vietnam War and Southeast Asia. It does not appear to have had any talk page discussion since 2009. Although the structure seems pretty good and a lot of content is there, it needs citation checks for unverified statements, some grammatical and content edits and this could be a big job. Arcahaeoindris (talk) 22:53, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose. This is definitely a big, important article, and the lack of any talk page activity is a little perplexing, but looking over it, I'm tempted to reassess it to B-class, as it looks pretty well-developed. I'm not sure this project could do much to help—I'd suggest perhaps requesting a peer review might be a better venue to seek review. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 00:43, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
