Option 1

 * Article title
 * Hermeneutic phenomenology


 * Article Evaluation
 * This page, which is my specific topic, does not have a dedicated article. Instead, it has a redirect to the main phenomenology page where the variants of the method are listed. I am not sure this is the best use of the page as it only lists Martin Heidegger's work within the variations section. It has approximately 20 words related to the subject when there are dozens of journal articles written on the subject. I feel a new page may need to be entered in this space, but am not particularly sure where to begin. There is no talk page on this page.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Hermeneutics


 * Article Evaluation
 * This page seems well cited and thought out. The concept of hermeneutics applies to many disciplines and therefore has many associated pages, citations, and concepts. I don't know if this is the best place for me to add information, although there is no specific section on hermeneutic phenomenology. Heidegger does have his own section within this page.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Martin Heidegger


 * Article Evaluation
 * Martin Heidegger's page could be a good place for me to add information regarding hermeneutic phenomenology in Wikipedia because his theories within the methodology are not included in this article. Instead, the article is mostly a history of his movement through society as well as the criticism of his thoughts. Additionally, a LOT of movement is happening on this Talk page right now surrounding Heidegger's involvement with the Nazis, so I think I will leave this alone for now.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Hermeneutic circle


 * Article Evaluation
 * Although this article has promise, the hermeneutic circle does not relate completely to hermeneutic phenomenology because it involves the concept of reviewing text rather than employing a methodology. I do feel that this article should at some point relate back to the methodology as it does affect the way a qualitative researcher employs the methodology.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Qualitative research


 * Article Evaluation
 * The main issue I have with the qualitative research page is that under the "methods" section on the right hand side, phenomenology is not listed. I am not sure why, as it is listed in the "specialized use" section (admittedly only 1 sentence) but the information is there at least. Hermeneutic phenomenology is not mentioned at all in the article, so I feel like it would be a good addition to the page.
