Option 1

 * Spanglish
 * Article Evaluation:This article, rated an S in the Article Finder, is relatively thorough, but in terms of its citations, I think it could use some work. there are a few paragraphs with only one citation, or even some with no citations at all. ::However, it is easy that a topic like this could not stay entirely neutral since it is heavily associated with a cultural identity.

Valencian language (valenciano)

 * Article Evaluation:This article has a score of C. Similar to the Spanglish article, it runs the risk of not being entirely neutral due to there being political issues associated. As a matter of fact, there is a box on the page that says "The neutrality of this article is disputed.":While the content is quite comprehensive, it lacks a lot of the necessary citations. :

Option 3

 * El perro del hortelano (play):
 * Article Evaluation:This article, rated an S on the Article Finder, is lacking greatly in content. During my research, I was looking up more well known Spanish plays like El burlador de Sevilla and La vida es sueño , which both have very extensive Wikipedia pages. This play has also holds a very important place in Golden Age Spanish literature and deserves to be expounded upon! :Another issue with the article is that it has a total of 2 sources. I think this would be very easy to add a great deal of content to.

Option 4

 * Cocoliche:
 * Article Evaluation:This is such an interesting topic that I am really curious about! The Wikipedia page says it is lacking in citations so that is a definite place for improvement.
