 * A start-class vital article with large unreferenced chunks. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 17:06, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Support, definitely unsourced chunks and probably other issues may be present. SVcode ( Talk ) 12:18, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Neutral. It looks like a normal start-class article with moderate traffic. Plenty of room for improvement, but I don't see any urgent need to get this to a better state. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 17:32, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

A very high-traffic page that's only a high start class. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 01:34, 31 May 2021 (UTC) ✅ SVcode ( Talk ) 19:34, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Support A frequently used term nowadays, yet the article is below B-class, meaning the article still requires a lot of work (By the way, I've updated the hits parameter used in the template, since now more people read the article after the nomination).--RekishiEJ (talk) 05:41, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Support That number of pageviews cries out for a really good article, yet the scope for improvement is huge. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 11:32, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) Support, per above. SVcode ( Talk ) 14:00, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

 * This article is no doubt vital, yet it is too short.--RekishiEJ (talk) 06:22, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose Only created in March this year, and under 40 hits per day. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 16:46, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose. Too few hits. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 17:38, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose, per above. AFI isn't the place for too low hits. SVcode ( Talk ) 13:58, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Holden v. Hardy
SVcode ( Talk ) 13:34, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * This lawsuit was notable (though not to the extent of Lochner v. New York), yet the article lacks background and dissent. RekishiEJ (talk) 06:18, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose A court case from one nation in the 1800s, with almost zero daily pageviews. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 16:46, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose. Too few hits. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 17:38, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose, per above. AFI is not a place for hits that are very close to 0. SVcode ( Talk ) 13:59, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Pig Latin

 * A fun page that hopefully might draw a higher level of participation for this project. Needs significant cleanup in a few areas, particularly with excessive examples. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 19:18, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Business networking

 * A level-5 Vital Article on a broad topic. The low pageview count is likely due to underlinking and other poor integration (it's not prominent even on the networking disambiguation page) rather than lack of importance. The article itself is also in quite bad shape: unillustrated, with redlinks that should probably be redirects, an overly narrow definition of the topic, references that aren't fully converted to inline, etc. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 00:49, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Arson

 * High hits, but little content relative to the topic's importance; much of what is there is a random jumble from a select few nations. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 22:58, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Support. Definitely needs globalization. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 23:04, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Support, needs expansion and globalization. SVcode ( Talk ) 12:47, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

✅
 * 1) Support  - project can help with expansion.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:25, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Telephone line
✅ North America1000 11:09, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
 * An obviously incomplete article that presently has only one reference. This can certainly be improved. North America1000 13:04, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Support A touch borderline on the pageview side, but only one source and so little text for such an important topic makes this a prime candidate for improvement. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 13:15, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Support, A lot of issues and it can be expanded more. SVcode ( Talk ) 12:22, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) Support - Could need the projects help. --BabbaQ (talk) 17:11, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Tai chi
✅ SVcode ( Talk ) 14:06, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * This B-class article has many issues present in this article ranging from additional citations to original research. SVcode ( Talk ) 18:22, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose because it's already B-class. I think the article for improvement should be a start-class, so there's plenty of work to do. Still, I can't stop you from working on an article by yourself.
 * 2) Support. Despite the B-class assessment, I'm seeing lots of issues, indicating that that rating is perhaps optimistic, and it's a popular page. Things to work on include expanding the lead, converting list to prose, dealing with the weird lineage table, re-sectioning, etc. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 17:29, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) Support per above--Ankit (Talk with me) 15:24, 31 May 2021 (UTC)￼
 * 4) Support My initial view corresponded with the unsigned oppose, but Sdkb's analysis has me convinced: Many hits and an optimistic quality assessment. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 17:41, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 5) Support I've glimpsed the article and found the article problematic, e.g. not providing adequate context for readers who are not familiar with Tai Chi, despite being B-rated.--RekishiEJ (talk) 10:17, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 6) Support - needs the projects help. For sure.BabbaQ (talk) 11:27, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Java (town)
SVcode ( Talk ) 13:54, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
 * An important article for Ossetians, since the town is the second largest urban settlement in South Ossetia, and National Council of Ossetians, which was set up by Ossetians after the abdication of the Nicholas II of Russia, convened there.--RekishiEJ (talk) 10:17, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose, too low hits. SVcode ( Talk ) 14:05, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose per SVcode. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 20:46, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose A page with this few hits is almost never going to succeed. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 11:53, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Pork tenderloin
✅ North America1000 13:04, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * This article can be expanded more and more references can be added and the prose could be better. SVcode ( Talk ) 16:56, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Support good candidate for expansion 92.24.246.11 (talk) 11:40, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Support. Definitely not my favorite menu item, but hits justify need for expansion. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 17:37, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) Support - indeed good article for possible expansion.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:41, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Islamic sexual jurisprudence
✅ SVcode ( Talk ) 16:10, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Popular article that has a bunch of valid tags that need addressing. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 08:42, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Support, article that can be improved more with many hits.  SVcode ( Talk ) 17:15, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Support a very important topic 92.24.246.11 (talk) 21:14, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) Support, this seems like an article with plenty of hits but a lack of quality. --littleb2009 (she/her) (talk • contribs) 23:06, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Dan Pedersen
&#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 22:01, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Though the article is currently unpopular, it still deserves to be an AFI since the man was quite instrumental in the creation of the Naval Air Station Miramar’s “TOPGUN” program, and it is currently a mere stub (not listing the books he authored, etc.) and contains two maintenance templates (one for possible fancruft, the other for PR tone, though I don't regard the article having these two problems).--RekishiEJ (talk) 07:56, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose, the hits are too low. SVcode ( Talk ) 19:39, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose, barely any hits at all. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 22:01, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) Comment, having few average daily hits does not justify opposition because the man is no doubt vital, and making it AFI no doubt draws more Wikipedians, thus boosts average daily hits.--RekishiEJ (talk) 12:35, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but we've got 6 million articles to improve, and only one of them can be the AFI at any given time. Every person with a Wikipedia page has done something significant; that's not enough to make the cut here. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 19:15, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * But Top Gun is no doubt a classic actioner and has been quite popular among young males, and it is about United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program, and Pedersen is no doubt the godfather of the program.--RekishiEJ (talk) 03:40, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Arguing that we need to focus on a topic because it's of interest to young males is really not going to bolster your case. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 21:39, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
 * But the US military is currently the strongest (with some problems), and he was no doubt a vital US naval aviation man.--RekishiEJ (talk) 12:50, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose scarcely any hits. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 18:36, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose As stated above, too few hits. --littleb2009 (she/her) (talk • contribs) 17:49, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Yet the man is absolutely vital since he is the godfather of TOPGUN.--RekishiEJ (talk) 07:59, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * If so, then this article needs serious work. But the hits are still a concern, nevertheless. --littleb2009 (she/her) (talk • contribs) 20:08, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * But the man is now added to the level 5 vital article list, which means that having only a few average daily hits is not a valid argument for opposing his addition.--RekishiEJ (talk) 10:13, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I reverted your addition of Pedersen to the VA list. You really need to drop this—per the vote totals, this nomination has already failed, and the only reason it hasn't been archived yet is that the bot hasn't come along. There are other places you can go to get help with the article, but not here. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 15:37, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

✅ SVcode ( Talk ) 22:34, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Because this article isn't unimportant, and its factual accuracy is disputed, it ought to be an AFI.--RekishiEJ (talk) 15:53, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Support, can be more expanded and could be rewritten.  SVcode ( Talk ) 17:15, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Support, sure, has room for improvement. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 22:02, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) Support, definitely room for improvement. Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 16:05, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
