C++
C++ – (page view stats • • talk • history) - 3,387 daily hits
- Nominating C++ for being a popular coding language, high page views, and was also a good article once. Article improvement on this could help the article (and TAFI) even more. Redolta📱 Contribs 02:26, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

- Oppose I was on the fence about this one... In the realm of computer science this is definitely an important topic (more than "mid-importance" I think, as it is currently classified), but we should bear in mind the subject is very specialized and many contributors may not understand or be able to contribute to the extent we hope for without a computer science background. Moreover, the article is well developed. Being a computer scientist myself, I am attracted to improving this but I think it may be better to recruit like-minded editors at WP:COMPSCI — MusikAnimal talk 17:42, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose per MusikAnimal - If you're a computer genius you're going to love editing this, If you have no idea about the C++ stuff then you're probably not going to edit it atall and chances are MB would be the only person at TAFi to even edit it anyway. –Davey2010Talk 18:17, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

- Support per nom--BabbaQ (talk) 14:26, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose - Probably popular to those in the 1970-1980s era, Unknown to everyone after that (Yup I was born in the 90s yet have never heard of this in my entire life), Due to it being unknown to the younger generation I don't think this would gain much (if any) edits at all. –Davey2010Talk 18:22, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

- 'Oppose - Article could do with more sources but overall the article looks fine & doesn't really need improving, Personally I think there's better articles we could spend our time on. –Davey2010Talk 18:25, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Brasília
Brasília – (page view stats • • talk • history) - 3,479 daily hits
- Nominating Brasília for being several reaosns. Brasília is the capital of Brazil, incredibly high page views, and, LBH, we can ceratinly bring this important city to at least B-class with effort. Redolta📱 Contribs 02:26, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

- Oppose - I'm not really seeing the need to improve this as IMHO it looks fine already, Sure it's perhaps a Highly important topics and interest to a few people but I'm just not seeing any improvements needed. –Davey2010Talk
Ezbet el-Borg
Ezbet el-Borg – (page view stats • • talk • history) - 5 daily hits
- Although far from being a popular article, the Egyptian coastal city of Ezbet el-Borg was the 4 millionth article on the English Wikipedia. I also suspect that Ezbet had an important role in the Fifth Crusade but I cannot be sure. Greenshed (talk) 03:02, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

August 2016 Aden bombing
August 2016 Aden bombing – (page view stats • • talk • history) - 253 daily hits
- Terrorism editors are leaving because of the volume of new content lately and it is now impossible to keep up with all of the attacks. The lists are no longer properly updated, and articles such as this one have recently only been improved by myself. Unfortunately, my life is getting busier and busier, and do not have much time. It would be great if someone could improve this article in the fashion that other terrorism articles are written, while also considering helping out on other terrorism articles. These articles cover very notable events and get a lot of his daily. Not to mention that I have seen these articles as top trending subjects on social media, and are referenced to by notable news outlets and even politicians. Thanks.
