  • Most comments here are first impressions, not considered analyses of an article. Thinking deeply before listing an article here is not discouraged, but it is definitely not a requirement either.
  • Limit comments to a few words only; verbose comments will be edited for brevity!
  • New entries go at the top.
  • Begin your comments with a "-" to separate it from the previous one, but:
    • If you have made or are reporting a change to the page in question, Use a "+" instead (e.g. "+ fixed the first paragraph", "+ deleted" or "+ stubbified")
  • The comment "delete" or "VFD" is a vote to move this page to VfD, not to delete it immediately. Please list such entries in bold.
  • If you think an article meets the criteria for speedy deletion, write "delete immediately".

  • Old listings can be moved as appropriate to Wikipedia:Pages needing attention or Wikipedia:Duplicate articles, or just marked as stubs
