Option 1

 * Article title
 * Deaf West Theatre


 * Article Evaluation
 * I think the Lead section of this article could have a bit more detail. It lists where the company is based and what shows they are most famous for, but I think it could have some more detail about what their message is and how they were started. I also think the content section is lacking information other than what shows they have put on and what awards they were nominated for. I would add more about the development of the company and more about who was involved in its creation. I definitely think the article is neutral, it gives unbiased information. It seems to have good sources as well, but there is a lot more information in the sources than presented on the wiki page. I think this article could be more detailed overall and give more about Deaf West's history and origins and the people involved in it.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Language deprivation in children with hearing loss


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is missing information on some topics that are briefly mentioned such as Code Switching in Deaf children. There are also some sources that do not cite any sources and in order to be reputable for Wikipedia, the information that is not cited should be verified. I also think the Lead section could be more clear and informative, as there is no definition given for what language deprivation actually is. I also think the organization of this article could be improved, the topics jump around a lot and I think it would be easier to understand if the order was more intentional rather than random.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * National Theatre of the Deaf


 * Article Evaluation
 * I think this article has a lot of great information about the National Theatre of the Deaf! I think it could go into more detail about some of the productions they have put on and its founding, and perhaps the impact that the theatre has had on Deaf Theatre in general. There could also be more sources cited throughout the article, especially in the section on the theatre's founding. In the Lead, the article mentions a smaller theatre developed for children. If I were to edit this article, I would like to elaborate more on this theatre to make sure every aspect of National Theatre of the Deaf was covered and there were no content gaps. Overall, I think the organization of the article is clear, but each section could be more developed with more information and sources cited.
