Option 1

 * Disneyfication
 * Article Evaluation
 * There is little information available. Additionally, is a basic definition and it uses a phrase that should not be included because it will confuse the reader with inaccurate information. From what I have concluded, There should be more structure with information like more sources, examples, and a historical context to the term. Tone is still neutral.
