European Parliament constituency edit


  European Parliament constituency – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 55 daily hits

  • Important article, but little more than a list. --CSJJ104 (talk) 12:39, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Oppose I see expanding this into prose (perhaps a history section) to be an enormous effort that I have my doubts we'll fulfill. There are a ton of individual countries here, we can't touch on all of them and most readers will turn to the individual articles should they need more information. The important statistics are conveyed in its current form, so frankly I wouldn't oppose moving the page to "List of European Parliament constituencies" in which case we have a fairly good list-class article that could be expanded to WP:FL. Finally the article does not receive sufficient exposure for my taste MusikAnimal talk 01:47, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose per MusikAnimal - This article probably won't attract many editors and the editing history is already poor, There's better articles that deserve our time. –Davey2010Talk 12:17, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose - per MusikAnimal. Redolta📱 Contribs 01:01, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Food edit


  Food – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 2,453 daily hits

  • Nominating food for TAFI for several reasons. The article is (according to WP:VA) a level-2 vital article, has an incredible amount of page views, and only is a C-class article.
