Option 1

 * Article title
 * Varlen Pen (PEN Varlen, also known as Pyun Wol-ryong)


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is lacking in information. It is rated 'Stub-class' by multiple projects. Most of the references it has listed are Russian and the bibliography section of the article is just a list of links and sources that are entirely in Russian. Thus, the article is in need of more content as well as a wider diversity of sources.
 * The topic of the article is notable as the person in question, Varlen Pen, is an important and well-known Korean-Russian painter who has had a notable career both in Soviet Russia and in North Korea.
 * I hope to improve this article by identifying sources in English as well as by adding more information to the general body of the article. I also hope to read through the Russian sources already linked to the article and consider ways in which they might add more to the article. I also look forward to linking visual material to the article, including notable works of art and a general consensus on the impact his art/career have had both in Korea and in Soviet Russia.


 * Sources
 * Additional sources at the present moment may include The Space Between: The Modern in Korean Art (a published book), the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Korea website, North Korean Art: The Enigmatic World of Chosonhwa (a book), Korean Art from the 19th Century to the Present (a book), and a variety of research papers/articles.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * BTS


 * Article Evaluation
 * The BTS article has been listed as a "featured" article with a gold star. It has also been listed as a level-5 vital article in People, Musicians. The article has also appeared in the Top 25 Report 4 times due to it's high number of weekly readers. Apart from the numerous ratings and awards it has gotten, the talk page of the article also lists warnings and reminders that the talk page should not be used as a discussion board but rather to enrich and develop the article.
 * The separate sections of the article are detailed and developed. Each album has it's own section of considerable length, and the article also covers topics such as the lyrical themes of their music and the development of their musical style.
 * The article even has a connecting link to an adjacent article titled "Philanthropy of BTS" which covers additional information regarding their impact and cause.
 * Each member has their own linked article.
 * In conclusion, the article is not only dedicated to a topic that is notable in the eyes of the public and the readers of Wikipedia, but it is also incredibly detailed and continues to expand as the career of the boyband continue to develop.
