Option 1

 * Offshore drilling in Atlantic Canada:
 * The article is relevant, has citations for its claims, but some are from oil and gas companies which are not neutral sources. The article is more of a list of oil fields than an article about offshore drilling in Atlantic Canada as a whole. :
 * https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2214790X21001490?via%3Dihub
 * https://archives.datapages.com/data/bulletns/1968-70/data/pg/0054/0011/1950/1989.htm?doi=10.1306%2F5D25CC65-16C1-11D7-8645000102C1865D:

Option 2

 * Borehole mining:
 * The article is lacking in citations and only has four references. Its written in very American-centric view, especially in the history section, and only discusses borehole mining in relation to the US even though it is supposed to be a general page on the topic. :
 * https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0263224122002895
 * https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13202-013-0083-9:

Option 3

 * Gravel pit:
 * This article is only one paragraph long with some photos and has no citations, just a list of four references. All of the topics is mentions in relation to gravel pits need to be expanded on. In Canada, gravel pits are important for the maintenance of remote and northern roads that access underrepresented communities. :

Option 4

 * Red Lake Mine:
 * The article claims that the Red Lake Mine was one of the biggest mines in the world, but is only four paragraphs long. It discusses the history and operations of the mine but neglects to discuss and environmental or local community impacts/topics relating to the mine.:

Option 5

 * Slope mining:
 * This article is only one paragraph, and has only two citations/references. Since it is an article describing a mining method, it would benefit from the inclusion of diagrams, which is currently does not have. It does not discuss where this method is used or its history. :
