Option 1

 * Article title:Nashville Public Library
 * Article Evaluation:Although this article does not receive many views per day, it is ranked in the Start-class as it is a "preliminary article with plenty of room for improvement." Additionally, it has a 41 completeness score. The History section is very broad and its first paragraph does not have any citations. The Programs and services section also has a lack of sources. The Portraits section also needs to be expanded on. There is no mention of recent events.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Drag Queen Story Hour
 * Article Evaluation:The article has a note which says "This article needs to be updated. Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. (October 2022)." Specifically, the "Bans" section could be updated to reflect current events. The same section would benefit from adding citations after each sentence.

Option 3

 * Montgomery County Public Libraries
 * Article Evaluation:The Wikipedia note at the top of the page states that the article is written as promotional material, with unreliable sources. At first glance, this is definitely true. Almost all the sources come from the Montgomery County Public Libraries' website, which makes the article unbiased. The information is also outdated as it still mentions the 2016-17 strategic goals of the organization. Overall, the article would benefit from better sources, a neutral point of view, and updated information.
