Applied sciences and technology

= Mechanic =

{{AFI nom|article=Mechanic|class=stub|hits=188}}

  • Level 5 vital and gets a decently amount of daily views. It's currently listed as a stub and really short when compared to other professions like Carpentry, and what little is written still is flagged for needing additional sources. ALittleClass (talk) 04:13, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

= Online encyclopedia=

{{AFI nom|article=Online encyclopedia|class=C|hits=429}}

  • This article gets a huge amount of hits and is fairly incomplete. It doesn't yet mention anything before the mid-1990s. Wil540 art (talk) 00:05, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
  1. Oppose, sorry, not an important enough topic ꧁Zanahary꧂ 03:22, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
  2. Support, per above, needs more expansion. SVcode(Talk) 23:52, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
  3. Support - needs project help.--BabbaQ (talk) 08:02, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
  4. Support - per above; also, IMO the article would desperately need to be updated to include more on Wikipedia as well as other online encyclopedias and wikis such as Fandom. Also @Zanahary I'm a little confused on why you think the topic isn't important enough. Perhaps you'd like to elaborate? Gommeh ➡️ Talk to me 01:19, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
  5. :I don’t know how to be more detailed—I don’t think this topic meets the level of encyclopedic importance and value required for me to support devoting an AFI effort to it. On a scale from Weimer Township, Barnes County, North Dakota to Earth, "Online encyclopedia" leans too far to the left. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 01:40, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

= Dinghy =

{{AFI nom|article= Dinghy|class=C|hits=196}}

  • this is an important article (it is a common small boat) that needs expansion and more citations. SVcode(Talk) 21:33, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
  1. Support Needs a serious copy edit and a lot more citations. -Wil540 art (talk) 23:52, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
  2. Support - needs project help.--BabbaQ (talk) 08:03, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

=Bicolor cat=

{{AFI nom|article=Bicolor cat|class=C|hits=979}}

  • This article provides valuable information on the patterning of bicolored cats. Tsommer23 (talk) 13:28, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

= Detonation =

{{AFI nom|article=Detonation|class=C|hits=137}}

  • This article though has low hits, needs some more expansion for an article that's really important. SVcode(Talk) 22:48, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
  1. Support - expansion could be done.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:00, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

= Rail Transport=

{{AFI nom|article=Rail Transport|class=C|hits=734}}

  2. Support - per nom.--BabbaQ (talk) 07:03, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
  3. Oppose, strongly. Rail topics benefit massively from systemic bias — they are the exact opposite of the area we should be focusing attention on with this project. The article isn't featured but is in perfectly decent shape. Sdkb talk 20:01, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
  4. Oppose - agree with above; rail transport has a lot of enthusiasts already, and this could go to the relevant Wikiproject I think. Stockhausenfan (talk) 10:47, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

  1. Oppose, only one section needs to be updated and only 4 statements are unsourced, this doesn't need much AFI help. SVcode(Talk) 20:45, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

{{AFI nom|article=Tiexi, Shenyang|class=stub|hits=13}}

  • District of Shenyang with a population of over 1.3 million population, yet a pure stub. Featured in the documentary [http://Tie%20Xi%20Qu Tie Xi Qu]. So much could be added just by translating from the article in Chinese. ALittleClass (talk) 02:20, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

=Hulhumalé=

{{AFI nom|article=Hulhumalé|class=C|hits=85}}

  • The article currently has old information about Hulhumalé and there are barely any citations that cover the article. There is also barely any information about Hulhumalé in the article. Unilandofma(Talk to me!) 11:22, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

=Leyte=

{{AFI nom|article=Leyte|class=Start|hits=301}}

  • A large island in the Philippines, with a population of 2.6 million people, a lot for a start article. The article seems messy, the infrastructure only has one section, and a lot of media was produced based on Leyte, but only two sentences are present. History is significant here, with Typhoon Haiyan, Battle of Leyte, and yet the History is only two paragraphs. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 13:09, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

=Antigua and Barbuda=

{{AFI nom|article=Antigua and Barbuda|class=C|hits=2,262}}

  • Article has less than 100 sources, start class lvl 4 vital country article, original research and sections that need SIGNIFICANT expansion. 48JCL 11:34, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
  • Note: Less than 100 is tiny for a country article. Most have like 200.
  1. Oppose, more citations were added to this article along with lots of expansion. SVcode(Talk) 22:33, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
  2. Oppose it is now B-class. Yeshivish613 (talk) 23:26, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

=Tobler's first law of geography=

{{AFI nom|article=Tobler's first law of geography|class=start|hits=65}}

  • Tobler's first law of geography is a widely cited and important aspect of the discipline. It is one of the foundations of spatial analysis and one of the primary results of the 21st century "Quantitative revolution". The article is listed as a "start" class and can be tremendously improved. There is a significant amount of peer-reviewed literature related to the topic.GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 22:09, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
  1. Support - per nom.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:00, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
  2. Oppose, not notable. SVcode(Talk) 21:54, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
  3. Weak oppose, not notable, not viewed frequently and I find it concerning that a Reddit post is a top option while searching the term up. 48JCL 16:44, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
  4. :Try searching for it on [https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C49&q=Toblar%27s+first+law+of+geography&btnG= Google Scholar]. Note the titles of the articles, and citation counts. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 07:01, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Vestrix (talk)

=Eichmann trial=

{{AFI nom|article=Eichmann trial|class=C|hits=603}}

=Syphax=

{{AFI nom|article=Syphax|class=Start|hits=541}}

=Edmund Ho=

{{AFI nom|article=Edmund Ho|class=start|hits=53}}

  • Level-5 vital article but most of it is unsourced. Whilst page views are low, the Chinese language version gets [https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=zh.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-20&pages=何厚鏵 303]. Sahaib (talk) 09:39, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
  1. Support, vital article that needs citations and expansion. SVcode(Talk) 22:25, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

=== Train wreck ===

{{AFI nom|article=Train wreck|class=start|hits=93}}

  • Train wrecks unfortunately happened a lot with many notable accidents. This article needs a lot more expansion based off the importance of this article. SVcode(Talk) 21:35, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
  1. Support per above. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 04:44, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

= Military intelligence =

{{AFI nom|article=Military intelligence|class=C|hits=364}}

  • This important article has multiple citation issues including the need for more citations and lack of inline citations. SVcode(Talk) 22:43, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

=Air force=

{{AFI nom|article=Air force|class=Start|hits=304}}

=Power (international relations)=

{{AFI nom|article=Power (international relations)|class=start|hits=239}}

  • An important concept often used in International relations, "power" of states (such as superpower, great power, middle power, and small power) is widely used in media and academia. This page is start class, despite this importance, and could use work on content and sources. Page has at least one unreferenced section.GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 18:26, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
  1. Support, per above. SVcode(Talk) 18:03, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

=Split of Christianity and Judaism=

{{AFI nom|article=Split of Christianity and Judaism|class=Start|hits=125}}

  • Vital article. This is a rich, complicated topic—an important topic, explaining the historical emergence of Christianity as a discrete religion from a sect of Judaism. The hits are low because the article was only recently created (after having existed in a pretty poor form and later merged for a few years into another article). Zanahary (talk) 06:54, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
  1. Support - could need some help.--BabbaQ (talk) 10:59, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

= 1915 genocide in Diyarbekir =

{{AFI nom|article=1915 genocide in Diyarbekir|class=C|hits=53}}

  • Although this article is not quite widely read, it is still worthy of being an AFI due to the fact that in spite of being C-rated the section "Deportations and massacres" is nearly empty and genocides and massacres are no unimportant. --RekishiEJ (talk) 13:00, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
  1. Support - per nom.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:02, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
  2. Oppose, after some thought, I decided this article isn't important. Genocides and massacres are sad and important but there are many and this isn't an notable genocide. SVcode(Talk) 22:12, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
  3. Oppose per SVcode. Utopes (talk / cont) 05:44, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

= Strike (attack)=

{{AFI nom|article= Strike (attack)|class=start|hits=213}}

  • An important article that needs expansion and citations. SVcode(Talk) 23:59, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

= Tribal Chief =

{{AFI nom|article=Tribal Chief|class=C|hits=417}}

  • This is high-importance in multiple wikiprojects and the article is about the head of the tribe which is also important. This needs more citations and expansion. SVcode(Talk) 23:55, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

= Tribe =

{{AFI nom|article=Tribe|class=C|hits=554}}

  • This is an obviously important article that needs more citations and expansion. SVcode(Talk) 23:57, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

= Terror (politics) =

{{AFI nom|article=Terror (politics)|class=start|hits=21}}

  • Even though this article has low hits, it is top-importance in multiple wikiprojects so it's important. SVcode(Talk) 13:37, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
  1. Oppose - controversial topic. Stockhausenfan (talk) 12:41, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

= Fortification =

{{AFI nom|article= Fortification|class=C|hits=388}}

  • This important article needs more citations. SVcode(Talk) 18:02, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

= Aviation accidents and incidents =

{{AFI nom|article=Aviation accidents and incidents|class=C|hits=1365}}

  • This article needs some reorganization and more citations. SVcode(Talk) 23:59, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

= Armoured personnel carrier =

{{AFI nom|article=Armoured personnel carrier|class=C|hits=621}}

  • This article is an level-5 vital article and has a lot of hits but doesn't have a lot of sources and may need a bit more expansion. SVcode(Talk) 23:09, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Language and literature

=Tungusic languages=

{{AFI nom|article=Tungusic languages|class=Start|hits=392}}

  • Level 5 vital article, important for both general linguistics and Chinese history. There is a huge amount of information on this topic, for example the book The Tungusic Languages (2023). As a point of comparison, the Japonic languages have received a similar level of study as the Tungusic languages, so this article should be brought to at least the level of that article. Stockhausenfan (talk) 09:30, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

=The Road Not Taken=

{{AFI nom|article=The Road Not Taken|class=C|hits=1079}}

  • This is arguably one of Frost's most famous poems if not of all poetry, at least in the United States, and therefore I feel like the article needs to be improved. The article has some issues currently—it is fairly short, has analysis and popular culture sections that need expanding. I feel like the article should not lean so heavily into the one interpretation of the poem as ironic, as it seems to do in the reception section; while it may be more "correct," at least by how Frost wrote it, but the popular interpretation of the poem is valid in its own right. Honestly, I feel like a lot of the content relating to how the text is misunderstood should be under the analysis section instead. FieryRaven (talk) 16:02, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
  1. Support - needs projects help. Improvements could be done, indeed.BabbaQ (talk) 00:38, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
  2. Support, needs more expansion. SVcode(Talk) 00:14, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
  3. Oppose, those are minor issues and you also want the article to be focused. Not like 50% In Popular culture. 48JCL 23:28, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

=Linguistic description=

{{AFI nom|article=Linguistic description|class=start|hits=69}}

=== Building information modeling ===

{{AFI nom|article= Building information modeling |class= C|hits=816}}

  • Article that is poorly sourced and could use some expansion. SVcode(Talk) 22:05, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Natural sciences

=Greenfield tornado=

{{AFI nom|article=Greenfield tornado|class=GA|hits=986}}

  • A highly impactful tornado, which had the third fastest winds ever recorded on earth (up to {{convert|318|mph|km/h}} recorded by a radar). The tornado then led to political legislation changes. This article is a Good Article (GA), but improvement can always be done, as it did not pass a recent FAC. The article received [https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2024-05&end=2025-04&pages=2024_Greenfield_tornado over 141,000 views] in the last 11 months, so it is a highly viewed/searched article. Article growth would be good. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 00:53, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
  1. Oppose, unfortunately - A few things: This tornado wasn't "highly-impactful" if we're talking in tornado terms; hundreds of tornadoes have killed and injured more than this one has and have done more damage. Additionally, GAs are really already up to quality, so this process isn't needed much (also, the guidelines above state {{tq|Stubs; start-class, and short C-class articles are the most ideal for improvement}}. Would suggest another PR, WP:GOCE or another go at FAC instead of this process. Or, we could improve Tornado, which is in need of work? EF5 14:20, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

=Lyme disease=

{{AFI nom|article=Lyme disease|class=B|hits=2400}}

  • friends in the Lyme disease community imply to me that the wiki Lyme disease page currently is behind the times on the changing mainstream acceptance of and management of Lyme disease. So maybe an opportunity to add real value here, and help all the people globally going to this page seeking help/clarity. The page also seems overlong; opportunity to edit down. Asto77 (talk) 01:18, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
