Option 2

 * Article title: Stranger in The Village by James Baldwin, From Notes of a Native Son
 * Article Evaluation: I felt the article needed work. it lacked context and could have better explained the racial climate in the United States that led to Baldwin leaving. On the talk page it states that this article has multiple issues, and needs citations. it also states that it is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. it also says that the article is written like a personal reflection or essay, or argumentative essay. please help to improve. I would love to help improve this page because I love stranger in the village ad would find it challenging to write the article and not include my passion for this work by Baldwin.

Option 3

 * Article title: Whore Son by Donald Goines
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article already exist but needs lots of work. on the talk page it has many issues listed for improvement. I noticed that it lacked details from the plot of the book. it also was missing context and how it connected to his series of books snd his real life.
