Option 1

 * Pendentive:
 * Article Evaluation
 * The content in the existing article is relevant, though severely lacking in context in my opinion. The existing article contains only a brief description of the vocabulary term for pendentive, along with a brief explanation of the history. It is written neutrally, and each claim has a citation, though only two sources are cited for the entirety of the article, one from 1996 and another from 1985, both of them being foreign-written materials without links to access. Personally, I find the organization of the example photos and their captions confusing, and the article itself to be lacking in information and applied examples of the structure. A look at the history and talk page shows that the article has only been edited for grammatical errors recently, and has not been discussed since 2007, with the only discussion as to whether or not the topic deserved its own article separate from domes.:

 * https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2095263513000502

Option 2

 * Inverted Arch
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article currently features relevant information regarding the practical uses for the inverted arch in today's construction, but provides no history or the development of the structure, nor are there image examples. It is written neutrally, but there is only one reference cited within the article and no sources listed or cited. There is also no activity in the talk page, and the most recent edits are revisions in grammar.:

Option 3

 * Wenshou
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article contains only a dictionary definition of the term, with no explanation on the symbolism behind the ornaments and why they were used. There are also no images and only one example listed. The article does not have any citations, references, or sources. There is also no discussing in the talk page, and the most recent edits have been to move the topic within categories.
