User:Leilikolehua/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
Akupu, Hawaii

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article mainly because I know it fairly well and it already existed on Wikipedia which meant it was already accepted as notable. According to Mr. Palmer, that is half the battle. I was shocked at first, to see that absolutely nothing had been added though the work had been done to add the page.

Evaluate the article
Lead section:

There is nothing added to the lead section aside from a short blurb stating that Akupu is also known as Palehua and is an area within Honolulu County which is populated. This is obviously improvable but neutral, accurate and verifiable.

Reference section:

There is one link to a USGS GNIS Feature Detail Report about Akupu which is definitely a link from a reliable source as it is a verifiable government page. This link is linked to the area because the military occupied multiple sites on the land during and after WWII.

Talk page:

There isn't much debate in the talk page area for the Akupu page, understandably since so little had been added. There was someone who added "Populated places" to the "Honolulu County, Hawai'i" category which someone else removed, changing to "Populated placed on Oahu"...edits which all seem a bit trivial and vague which is a bit confusing. Another person then tagged that they had visually edited it.

Overall:

This article can be improved in almost every way as it is very underdeveloped and there is quite a bit of information available. I think its overall status would fall under, 'considered notable but undeveloped'.
