Option 1

 * Article title 2020 Democratic Party presidential candidates
 * Article Evaluation This article contains many good qualities, however it is missing essential elements such as information about the presidential primaries, and information about the presidential election in general. I think it would be helpful if this article added rankings of each candidate, and the likelihood each of them has of winning the election.
 * Sources https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/20 20/us/elections/democratic-polls.html
 * https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/16/us/2020-presidential-candidates-fast-facts/index.html
 * https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-2020-democratic-presidential-candidates-2019-story.html

I think you're right that this article isn't as strong as it could be. It's got a very minimal lead section.

Some of what you mention, however--information about the primaries and the presidential election in general--I think more rightly belongs (and prob already exist) on other pages. But looking at the 2012 and 2016 pages of the same design could be instructive.

2012, there's a much more fleshed out lead, and each of the candidates has a "background" and "campaign notes" section on the grid, which you could add to the 2020 page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Democratic_Party_presidential_candidates#Nominee

2016, there's a section on "alternate ballot options," which you could theoretically add to 2020: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Democratic_Party_presidential_candidates#Alternate_ballot_options

Option 2

 * Article title Dominoes
 * Article Evaluation This article contains many issues including the overuse of a single source, not enough information about the game, and the article is very inconcise If I were to pick this article I would add more information about the history of the game, and I would fix the overall flow of the article. I would also make sure to be more versatile in my article usage.

Option 3

 * Article title Digital film festivals
 * Article Evaluation This article is very short, and could use some work in both length and credibility. It does a good job including the history of film festivals, but many of the sources are not backed up in a reliable way. If I was to pick this article I would do more extensive research on this topic to extend the page, and I would also make sure to back up my sources and to also back up the sources already listed in this article.

 * https://austinfilmfestival.com/submit/digital/

Honestly, this one looks like the best option to me, because it's start class and has some major issues, seems like it hasn't really been updated since 2008 (surely there has been a growth in digital film festivals in the last 12 years!)
