Option 1

 * 1821 in Archeology
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article hardly has anything to evaluate, it is more of a set-up for a potential article that would be useful. They state that 1821 was an important year for archeology, but don't clearly state why this is. Most of the subtitles have no information listed under them. The singular source does seem credible, though I don't think the article has all relevant information listed here that would be found in the book they credited. There is no talk section.

Option 2

 * Wiggle matching
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article serves more so as a definition of wiggle-matching and does not provide information in a well-organized manner. As stated in the talk section, there is no information on how wiggle-matching is done, the pros and cons of wiggle-matching, or how this method has since become outdated.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Did God Have A Wife?


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is on a book by William Dever, though it definitely favors one opinion on the text. The article includes a section on criticisms of this book, but does not include a section on those who agreed with Dever's writing. There is also very little information on the actual contents of this book, rather a very brief summary of what each chapter covers. This book covers an important and underrepresented topic on Wikipedia, as this book provides a unique opinion on a somewhat uncommon topic: Archeology and Folk Religion in Ancient Israel.

(There are many sources here, all fairly credible, so I don't really have anything to add. Rather, I think there needs to be more information taken from these sources and organized into this article.)
