Option 1

 * Article title: Gender inequality in Nigeria
 * Completeness score: 37
 * Article Evaluation: The article is an existing stub about the broad gender inequality that exists in Nigeria. While there is some good information on the advent of feminism in Nigeria and specifically the work of Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, there is a lack of contemporary information about the composition of Nigerian politics. Specifically, the article could benefit from more precise information about gender distribution in the Nigerian government and many of the obstacles women candidates face. There is a decent amount of contextualization for Nigerian culture and gender roles/expectations but there could be a lot more data and quantitative context.

Option 2

 * Article title: Women's League of Burma
 * Article Evaluation: The article is an existing stub about the Women's League of Burma, a community organization focused on promoting the rights of women in Burma and reducing systematic sexual violence. Given the ongoing military conflicts in Burma, this organization has had heightened importance in the last few decades, yet there is not much information about what they actually do or who is involved. Though the article does connect the organization to Indiana University, there is likely much more available discourse on the structural decisionmaking done by the Women's League and the impacts it has made in Burma.

Option 3

 * Article title: Inga Sæland
 * Article Evaluation: The article is an existing stub about Inga Saeland, a member of Icelandic parliament, lawyer, and founder of the "People's Party." She is a prominent politician in Iceland yet there is very little information about her political beliefs and positions on the page, in spite of the fact that she founded and leads one of the nation's parties (an alternative smaller party focused on egalitarian ideals for the poor and disabled). While the article does outline her position, it fails to provide a picture and much of the noteworthy information that characterizes a politician's career. An explication of the People's Party and their platform, more information on her positions and goals, and more context on the political landscape in Iceland would improve this article.
