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)[reply]
1. 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)[reply]

Recently added article on the latest version just released. Escaped deletion on promotional grounds but still needs lots of community help to make it more encyclopaedic and less like an advert. Thanks -- Crep1711 (talk) 17:28, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of fact-checking websites

List of fact-checking websites – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 500 daily hits

JPxG recently pointed out this page. Problems are extensive and should be obvious. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 09:16, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Oppose - The List-article would need a review first to even see if it is useful.--BabbaQ (talk) 01:27, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1. 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)[reply]
2. Support - good number of daily hits. Article could need projects help with some expansion, c/e.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:15, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Khmer Rouge

Khmer Rouge – (page view stats • edit • 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)[reply]
1. 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)[reply]

Compendium

Compendium – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 181 daily hits

Wikipedia was launched on January 15, 2001 and coming January 15 will be of 20 years. Even after 20 years articles Encyclopedia and Compendium are still incomplete and not at their best. Articles Topic is assessed as high important but rating is just start class. Needs to be improved. Some of the issues and sources are shared @ Talk:Compendium#Any takers ?.

Neutral. Certainly an important article, and could use some expansion on certain facets. Still, we don't normally take on B-class pages and I don't see a compelling case for an exception here. Maybe if I examined closer I'd see it doesn't merit that assessment. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 05:12, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Despite being both a vital article and a B class, the article is extremely lacking, having semi recently failed a GA Nom Helloimahumanbeing (talk) 18:40, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
1. Support- I agree with the nom.BabbaQ (talk) 20:13, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
2. Oppose. An article that was recently GA nommed and didn't quick fail is too well-developed to fall within our scope. Note: I have also corrected the hits, which I think were portraying monthly before. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 05:35, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Visva-Bharati University

Visva-Bharati University – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 341 daily hits

One of the oldest central university of India (declared as Institutes of National Importance) situated at Santiniketan, West Bengal, India. It was founded on 1921 by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore and is gearing up for centenary celebrations next year. See here. Currently, it has problems that can be solved and improved with a collective effort. — Amkgp 💬 19:25, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Housing

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]
