Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Spike (2008 film):
 * Article Evaluation :The article is C-class with bare bones topics and I believe the current sources can be improved and better utilized as well as more options to provide visuals to augment the article. I also think the article would benefit a clearer explanation of the parallels to other Beauty and the Beast stories.
 * Sources:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0970453/reviews :Other sources are hard to come by in the open market but again I believe the current sources are underutilized.

Option 2

 * Article title:Angela Carter
 * Article Evaluation:The article is considered C-class but does involve an equity gap about women writers and feminism. The article needs more sources to verify the biography section. An improvement would be to gather sources on Carter's thoughts on her own work as well as her works reception by critics and it's effect, if any, on literary circles or communities.

Option 3

 * Article title:Rose Daughter
 * Article Evaluation:This is a stub class article and there are only two citations on the entirety of the article. By creating a bigger parallel between this and McKinley's other Beauty and the Beast the article could be more fleshed out.
 * Sources:https://www.tor.com/2010/09/22/two-beauties-two-beasts-robin-mckinleys-beauty-and-rose-daughter/ :https://scholar.lib.vt.edu/ejournals/ALAN/v36n3/keeling.html

Option 4

 * Article title:Ever After High
 * Article Evaluation:Considered start class, the article has a wide range of sources but even though the story was designed to sell toys, there is a line of books and other merchandise that could be examined more thoroughly to relate the toys to the stories they are derived from Beauty and the Beast and those tropes a prime example. The article itself was considered for deletion in 2014 but was allowed to stay which makes me more intrigued and invested in updating it to better reflect the notability standards. There is also several more photos and other images that are available that could be used.
 * Sources:The article already has 138 sources so really stripping down the unnecessary ones and better utilizing them.

Option 5

 * Article title:Beauty and the Beast (1946 film)
 * Article Evaluation:While well sourced, the article is considered start class. If there was more in the way of images especially behind the scenes shots as well as Cocteau's opening credit's directive, the article would be more rounded. I would also want to link it to the Beaumont tale that it is supposedly derived from and to ground the effects and other elements in the period and Cocteau's artistic surrealism.
