Option 1

 * Article title: Political repression in post-apartheid South Africa
 * Article Evaluation
 * There is not a lot of evidence or support for the articles main claims. The article argues that repression peaked during the period of the Zuma presidency and how he build a state based on fear. However, it does not go into any detail on what Zuma specifically did  to contribute to repression.
 * Briefly mentions political assassinations and the repression of grassroots activists with no follow up
 * A big focus on the article is politics torture of activists and individuals killed by police during protests.
 * The article has over 215 sources from a wide range of databases, opinion articles, and news channels. However, most of the sources are related to assassinations, police brutality, and other smaller uprisings.
 * May be too broad to tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gapes
 * Talk page: ranked as "start class" and "mid-importance"
 * I agree with a user who mentioned that the list of those killed during a protest is somewhat meaningless and does not really contribute to the theme of political repression.
 * Proposed solutions: I would like to find a more specific instance of political repression and make a page solely on that event.

Option 2

 * Article title: Anna 'Matlelima Hlalele
 * Article Evaluation
 * Overall, the article is very brief and does not have much information about Hlalele's significant contributions to Lesotho. Focuses on her early life and career with only one paragraph about her background. She was the first woman to serve in a high level position in the cabinet of Lesotho yet only briefly mentions the actions she took while in charge.
 * The article only has three sources, and none of them refer specifically to Hlalele. Additionally, there are many claims in the article that have no sources to back them up. I believe the article tackles the equity gap and relates to the important theme of female African politicians. From an initial google search, there is very little information on here so I am worried about the feasibility of adding to the page.

Option 3

 * Article title: Climate and Sustainable Development Network of Nigeria
 * Article Evaluation
 * Rated a stub-class article on the content assessment scale
 * Uses personal pronouns such as "our."
 * Loose references with no arguments or points to back up claim
 * Example. Writes that Nigeria has natural resources yet has trouble maximizing "these chances" with no reference to what the natural resources are.
 * No specificity
 * Seems like the mission statement of the Climate and Sustainable Development Network of Nigeria was copy and pasted from the site.
 * Only seven sources, all website
 * Contributions: add more specific details about the background of sustainable development in Nigeria and why it is necessary today.
