  • Article with a high number of views regularly that has potential for expansion, improvements overall. The expansion part is the main factor for inclusion here, based on a high number of views this article could really need to be in better shape overall as well. --BabbaQ (talk) 12:08, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Havasupai – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 200 daily hits

  • This article gets a respectable 200 hits per day yet has been tagged since 2013:
    • Add a map
    • Add a section on the indigenous religion, if proper sources can be found
    • Gather sources and place in-line citations in the article.

It is a breathtaking 800-year old American Indian settlement (now a reservation), a spur canyon of the Grand Canyon, in Arizona, that has gone through some dramatic turmoil and recovery. Its canyon sheer walls make it only accessible by foot, horseback, mule, or helicopter (in emergencies only). They do have a Post Office and a mounted police force. It is a place, a people, a culture, a religion, and a language. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 03:39, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  3. Oppose – already well developed, and the improvements suggested are relatively minor; may not receive a week's worth of improvements. North America1000 03:52, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi, Northamerica1000. I wish you would reconsider. This article has tons of upside potential for expansion and improvement. Look again at my nom and at the article. There is such a rich variety of elements to work with. If we expand/improve each element for a week we can upgrade this article from B class to be ready for a GA review. Then, we can nominate it for a GA review, get it to GA, and then put it in the TAFI Hall-of-Fame. Your downvote means this nom now needs two upvotes to move into the holding tank. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 04:18, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article contains a lot of information and some good images, but it lacks citations and has no audio file. The layout could probably also be improved.  – Corinne (talk) 02:18, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Support – per nom. Nice find. Definitely needs our help. Any TAFI folks with the right subscription to any of the 50+ databases in The Wikipedia Library should be able to pitch in with some solid references to improve this article.

Soba Choko – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 3 daily hits

  • I know this article doesn't get many views, but Wikipedia will be a richer encyclopedia if we have well-written, well-sourced articles on things like art history and the decorative arts. This article will never be improved if we don't do it. There have been several tags at the top of the article for a while.  – Corinne (talk) 00:54, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
