When I opened up these four links, at first I admit I was a little skeptical; each of them has a fair amount of text, none seems to be a true stub.

But your evaluations are on-point, and ALL of these are missing reception sections, missing grounding in real world impact/interest in the story.

Given that, I'd support the choice of any one of these, and encourage you to check out the Wikipedia manual of style section on writing about fiction:

Option 4

 * The Machine Stops
 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?

 * The citations are mostly for the adaptations and derivative works.
