Option 1

 * Nightmare disorder
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is relevant to the topic, and is written in a neutral tone that does not heavily lean towards any biased viewpoints at all. Most claims have citations that support what the claim is making, however there were three paragraphs in the signs and symptoms section that did not have a single citation. The article does not tackle any equity gaps. There is no mention of how nightmare disorder affects different cultures or ethnic groups or other demographics. The article's talk page included a discussion on whether or not to merge this article with the Nightmare article, however consensus agreed that it would be best to keep the two articles separate.

Option 2

 * Caffeine-induced anxiety disorder
 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead section for this article is succinct and concise. It does a good job of introducing what the article is about. However the lead does not touch upon every major section of the article. The content in the article is very relevant and there is no information that detracts or distracts the reader from the article. There is a neutral tone and it does not have any claims that are biased within the article. It seems that each claim has a citation and each citation seems to belong to reputable sources and publications such as PubMed, Elsevier, and the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences. The article does cover how there are populations that are more susceptible to caffeine-induced anxiety disorder such as those that are already diagnosed with anxiety disorder and adolescents. There is no mention of historically overlooked or marginalized groups.

Option 3

 * Autistic catatonia
 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead section for this article is a bit longer than necessary. Due to how short the rest of the article is, it would have been better to have some of the content in the lead section be in the rest of the article and expanded upon. The rest of the article just includes a list of symptoms observed in those with autistic catatonia, a treatment section that only contains two short sentences, and a history section of the disorder starting from the 19th century that is five sentences long. The article does only have relevant information that does not distract the reader with unnecessary details, however, there is not much that is written in the article. I believe the article could be made better if there was more information included. In terms of citations, there are many claims that are not cited, but instead have a citation needed statement. There was also one citation that had been stated as failing verification. However, each of the citations that are included do have working links and support the statements made in the article. There is no mention of any equity gaps. The talk webpage has some discussions that include mentioning how long the symptoms list is and if it should be compressed as well as a section which talks about treatment suggestions for the disorder.

Option 4

 * Post-acute-withdrawal syndrome
 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead section of the article is very informative and provides a good surface level explanation of post-acute-withdrawal syndrome, however the lead article is not concise. It is quite wordy, and makes me believe that some of the content in the lead section would have been better off being written in the rest of the article. The rest of the article includes information that is only pertinent to the topic of the article. I did not see any part of the article that seemed to be distracting to the reader or was not relevant to the topic. The tone of the article was very neutral, and there are many reliable citations being used. Each claim that the article makes is properly cited and each of the links seem to work. There is not any acknowledgement of equity gaps. The talk section only has 2 discussions. One about how there is not any mention of PAWS onset due to opiates and the other article talks about how most of the citations are for the effects of alcohol induced PAWS.

Option 5

 * Mysophobia
 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead section on this article was well done. It was succinct and to the point. It gives a very good explanation as to what mysophobia is. The content of the article is relevant and there is nothing that distracts the reader. There are citations for every claim in the article except for two. There is one citation that is considered an unreliable source and one claim that just does not have a citation. However each of the citations are not from any scientific publications. There is a neutral tone throughout the article. There is no mention of any equity gaps.
