Option 1

 * Article title (with link)
 * Grace Lin


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is rated start-class, with a mid-importance level in WikiProject Women Writers. Most of the article reads like a resume with only a short biography and it's written from a NPOV. The lead section is only one sentence, and perhaps once the article is fleshed out more, it will be easier to create a more substantial lead section. There isn't much mention of her general writing/art style or exigence for writing, so these could be elaborated on. I also think it would be beneficial to make some organizational changes so there aren't just lists of awards and her work for most of the article.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Aileen Yingst


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article was found on the Smithsonian WikiProject and is rated start-class in WikiProject Biography / Science and Academia, Women scientists, and WikiProject Geology. This article focuses on Yingst's career, with brief sections noting her education, personal life, and honors and awards as well. The article maintains NPOV and all of the information appears to be well-sourced and cited. (also missing a comma in the third sentence of personal life section)

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Quentin Blake


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is rated Start-Class in WikiProject Biography and WikiProject Children's literature. It is also rated Mid-importance in the latter. The last non-bot contribution to the talk page was in 2013. This article maintains NPOV and all of the information appears to be well-sourced. The career section includes some information that feels more relevant to his personal life and advocacy, rather than his main focus in literature and illustration. I also believe it would be valuable to include a section talking about his iconic scribbly drawing style. Honestly, this is more a personal preference but I would also like to see how he met the authors he illustrated for, especially Roald Dahl.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Domee Shi
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is rate C-class in WikiProject Biography, WikiProject Women, and WikiProject Canada / The 10,000 Challenge (it is also rated low-importance in this WikiProject). The article maintains a NPOV though some content is in need of citations. The article talks somewhat about her perspectives and motivations when directing her short film, Bao, though not much is said about her most recent directorial work, Turning Red.
