• Natural sciences
• People/Companies and organisations/Products

Be bold! Articles here can can be edited at any time by all users, regardless of project membership status. As such, this page also functions as a general noticeboard for English Wikipedia.

Instructions

Suggested criteria

Though there are no firm criteria, in general, ideal AFI 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. Nominations with less than 200 views per day rarely succeed.
• 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, edit warring, or questioned notability) can be very difficult to improve within a week.

Review process

• Any user may vote on the suitability of nominations to be listed at AFI.
• Please use the code #'''Support''' or #'''Oppose''', add your reasoning, and sign with ~~~~. You may also add comments. Improperly formatted votes may be missed by the bot.
• MusikBot will mark nominations with at least 3 net support votes (3 more support votes than oppose votes) as approved and those with at least 3 net oppose votes as unapproved. The bot will automatically list successful nominations and archive all closed nominations.
• Registered members of the project may choose to override the bot at their discretion in instances where straight vote totals do not appear to reflect community consensus.

Nominating an article

1. Check that the article you want to nominate isn't already listed.
2. Post the nomination at the top of the list in the appropriate category, using this code:

   ===(Article title)===
   {{AFI nom|article=(Article title)|class=unknown|hits=(Number of daily hits)}}
   *(Nomination text) ~~~~
   

3. Fill out the parts in parentheses. You can find an article's class on its talk page and its approximate daily hits using this tool.
4. Please do not support your own nominations.

• This is an article relating to an actress which is in need of expansion. It has important cross topic implications. The legal and political side dealing with the subject are important in the context of US Trans-rights and Maine Trans-rights. The ongoing and potentially expanding influence of the subject matter as an actress is also likely to be require expansion. I am though not sure how to begin improving the article. 91.110.126.179 (talk) 09:16, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Doe v. Regional School Unit 26 – (page view stats • edit • talk • history)

• This is a case regarding bathroom usage rights in schools in the United states. This is the first known case regarding a successful litigant t any level. This ties in with the proposed Maine Bathroom Bill LD 1046. The case is a notable Trans-rights case in the USA. It needs a lot of help, and I am clueless as where to start. 91.110.126.179 (talk) 09:08, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

• Article about a highly notable topic, which is missing a lot of information such as the history of Dial-up and needs more references/citations for verification.--344917661X (talk) 13:56, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
