  1. Support - improvements can be made to keep it a B-class article. --BabbaQ (talk) 15:27, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose per the guideline at #Instructions: "Though there are no firm criteria, in general, ideal TAFI articles are... Not targets of controversy. Keep in mind that controversial articles (articles that are the subject of heated discussion or edit warring) can be very difficult to improve within a week." --Rubbish computer 16:01, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose per what Rubbish computer says. Also, Modi's page is not a single page. This would mean many edits on various pages. Also, his upcoming USA visit would anyways attract a lot many good/bad editors and cleaning that up would be a job in first place. Also, instructions say; "Needing of improvement, with expansion opportunity" (emphasis added). There is no scope for huge expansion here. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:02, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
