Instructions


Suggested criteria
Though there are no firm criteria, in general, ideal AFI articles are:
 * Highly important topics. Anything that has top or high importance to a WikiProject is likely highly important.
 * Interesting to the general public. This can be evidenced by page views. Nominations with less than 200 views per day rarely succeed.
 * Needing of improvement, with expansion opportunity. Stubs; start-class, and short C-class articles are the most ideal for improvement. Give due consideration before nominating higher-quality articles.
 * Not targets of controversy. Keep in mind that controversial articles (articles that are the subject of heated discussion, edit warring, or questioned notability) can be very difficult to improve within a week.
