Option 1

 * Article title:
 * Otto Peltzer
 * Article Evaluation:
 * - Pretty scant lead section, solely focusing on Peltzer's athletic achievements and failing to mention anything regarding the sections ahead. Additionally, it fails to mention anything regarding Peltzer's sexual identity and the persecution he faced in its name, while also participating as an actor in the very institutions intent on his persecution, omitting an important and likely incredibly nuanced aspect of his life and historical significance.
 * - Content presented in this article is relevant and concise, albeit potentially too concise. After just a bit of light research one begins to notice small gaps in the information presented. Overall, it does appear to be quite a neutral article, focusing mainly on Peltzer's athletic feats and statistics.
 * - The sources utilized appear to be of a reliable nature, some potentially a touch biased but not to the point of illegitimacy.
 * - The overall quality of the article is nothing terrible, however it does lack some formatting finesse, failing to set up the article for the reader in the lead section.
 * - The article could likely use some additional imagery as it only includes one photograph when there are many more available that could improve the immersion of the reader into the article.
 * - The talk page of the article contains a single submission highlighting and questioning how the article presents Peltzer as a victim of Nazi persecution while spending little time on his actual involvement in the party and the promotion of its ideals.
 * - Overall, this article effectively presents the bullet points of Otto Peltzer's life, but could use a little beefing up with simple elaboration on the elements mentioned, and additional imagery.

Option 2

 * Article title:
 * Tom Waddell
 * Article Evaluation:
 * - The lead section on this article is rather short, to the extent of actually indicating that it is too short and could use some improving.
 * - Article is missing an infobox.
 * - Several of the sections of the article are rather brief, devoid of detail.
 * - Seems to be a pretty neutral article, not showing any particular bias.
 * - Not all facts presented include a citation, although those that do, draw from what appear to mostly be reliable sources.
 * - Although quite brief and rather dry, the actual quality of the writing is good.
 * - The article only presents one image, could use a few more if possible.
 * - The talk page of this article only contains two entries, the most notable of which denounces a plagiarized entry stating it has been corrected.
 * - Overall, this article is effective in summarizing the life of Tom Waddell, however, may be a bit too summarized. I believe the article could greatly benefit from a little bit more depth.
