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

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]

  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]

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]

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]

Godi media

[edit]

Godi media – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 350, but varies daily hits

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]

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]

  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]

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

  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]
