Option 1

 * 1906 malaria outbreak in Ceylon
 * Article Evaluation
 * The content put forth in the article does not seem roundly relevant to the article topic. There are many mentions to the 1934-35 epidemic with numbers in the info box using this epidemic and not the 1906 epidemic.
 * I can see no agenda being put forth in this article.
 * There are only three cited claims in the article, there is notably one claim at the end of the content section that has no citation.
 * There are two sources from scholarly journals, one of which is focused on modern trends, and one source from a government page on the Anti Malaria Campaign that has much more recent, modern, connotations.
 * While the article briefly mentions the inhabitants of Sri Lanka and their relationship with the disease, it does not go into depth on how the indigenous Sri Lankans lived with and reacted to the problem, nor does it detail the relationship between colonial authorities and the Sri Lankans during the pandemic.
 * There is no discussion at on this page's talk page.

Option 2

 * 1863-1875 cholera pandemic
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is kept tight to the overall topic quite well. It does jump around quite drastically but some more information in between this jumps should suffice.
 * The article does not put forth an agenda.
 * All but one of the claims has a citation.
 * The sources used all relate to the topic and seem to be reliable in some capacity.
 * The article does discuss underrepresented groups and discusses the effects they had on the epidemic and to some extant what effect the disease had on them.
 * There are two points brought up in the talk section, one of which talks about a section that seems to no longer exist and another was a recommendation to add the dates of the pandemic to the title.

Option 3

 * 1918 flu pandemic in India
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is closely tied to the overall topic.
 * The article does seem to from a neutral standpoint.
 * Every claim made in this article has a citation.
 * The sources used seem reliable with a plethora of differing journals and other medias on the topic.
 * The article has specific mentions to how the outbreak effected women and lower class peoples in imperial India and therefore strives to represent but more information could be included.
 * There is no discussion on this article's talk page.
