Option 1

 * Article title: Pete Frates
 * Article Evaluation: An article for Pete Frates does not currently exist, but I believe that one should.  He was a former Boston College baseball player who was diagnosed with (and unfortunately succumbed to) ALS, but he started the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, which brought tremendous amounts of attention and money to the ALS cause.
 * Sources:
 * - Ice Bucket Challenge : There is a lot of information here about the challenge he started, but I believe he is notable enough to have his own Wikipedia page.
 * - https://www.proquest.com/central/docview/2333551197/44C1E08F1C764922PQ/6?accountid=11091
 * - https://www.proquest.com/central/docview/1638753399/44C1E08F1C764922PQ/7?accountid=11091
 * (These are just a few examples, but there are numerous sources about him on ProQuest (and other websites).)

Option 2

 * Article title: Jordan Davis (singer)
 * Article Evaluation: Jordan Davis has recently become one of the most prominent names in the country music world; however, his Wikipedia article is under the "stub" category, and his article is rather short (most notably, his "Personal life" section is only three sentences long).  For such a huge celebrity in the country music industry, I believe his article can be (and should be) much improved.

Option 3

 * Article title: Bailey Zimmerman
 * Article Evaluation: Like Davis, Bailey Zimmerman is also an up-and-coming country artist with a less than satisfactory Wikipedia article.  Although not as experienced as Jordan Davis, Zimmerman has recently burst onto the scene with multiple top charting songs and an invitation to tour with country superstar Morgan Wallen.  Zimmerman's current "Early life" section contains just two sentences, and his "Career" section is missing key specific details about his top charting songs (as well as his other released songs).

Option 4

 * Article title: Ted Lepcio
 * Article Evaluation: Ted Lepcio is a former Boston Red Sox player, as well as a family friend.  His current article is a stub article, and it does not have any outlined sections; it just contains a few paragraphs.  There is most clearly little information about his early life, which could certainly improve the article.

Option 5

Article title: Field Yates

Article Evaluation: Field Yates is an NFL television personality, who does a lot of fantasy football coverage (so I find myself seeing him on TV often!). However, his Wikipedia article is still a stub, and there are only a few sentences present for his "Early life." As a former Massachusetts resident (who played in the same high school league as I did), I feel as though I could and should help improve his Wikipedia article.
