Option 1

 * Article title:Nucleophile
 * Article Evaluation:The articles content is relevant to the article's topic and all citations are from reliable sources. This article is neutrally written, but the article does not have a citation for every claim made within it. This article does not cover any equity gaps as its sole objective is to provide an overview of nucleophiles. It could be improved by adding more citations to back up some claims within the article and by adding more figures to better describe nucleophiles. The talk page for this article was last used in 2021 when someone corrected a factual inaccuracy within the article.

Option 2

 * Article title:Borane-tetrahydrofuran
 * Article Evaluation:The content of this article is all relevant to the article's topic as the article provides an overview of the reagent: borane-tetrahydrofuran, however there is a lot of room for improvement. this article should include figures to describe the mechanism of this reagent, and modern uses for this reagent. While the article is missing lots of information about the reagent, it provides a neutral perspective on the reagent by discussing all sources equally. Additionally, all of the claims within the article are cited and all citations are from reliable sources. this article does not discuss any equity gaps as it's only aim is to provide an overview of borane-tetrahydrofuran. This article's talk page was last used earlier this year.

Option 3

 * Article title:Sodium cyanoborohydride
 * Article Evaluation:This article's content is relevant to its topic, and it provides a neutral overview of sodium cyanoborohydride. This page seems to have some formatting issues as some of the text overlays one of the figures. Additionally, this page is missing a citation for one of its claims, however the majority of the claims made within this article have been cited with reliable sources. This page could also be improved by adding more information and figures describing the mechanism and uses for this reagent. This page does not include a discussion any equity gaps. The talk page for this article was last used in 2018.

Option 4

 * Article title:Grignard reaction
 * Article Evaluation:This article's content was relevant to the article's topic. It provides a good overview of the Grignard reaction and is written from a neutral standpoint. All citations are from relevant sources and all claims within the article are well cited, however two of the links within the article's references did not work. This article does not consider or discuss any gaps as its primary focus is to provide an overview of the Grignard reaction. This article's talk page was last updated earlier this year. this article could be improved by providing some information on reagents which improve the chemoselectivity of the Grignard reaction such as cerium chloride. Additionally, the article should discuss the relevance and applications of this reaction to modern chemistry.

Option 5

 * Article title:Reformatsky reaction
 * Article Evaluation:This article's content is all relevant to the topic of the article. It is written from a neutral standpoint and all claims within the article are backed up by reliable sources. This article does not address any equity gaps as it focuses only on providing an overview of the Reformatsky reaction. This page could be improved by adding all proposed mechanisms since there is some debate within the literature about what the real mechanism for this reaction is. Additionally, providing more figures to illustrate uses for this reaction would be beneficial. This article's talk page was last used in 2007.
