This page is for nominating articles to be listed as articles for improvement, from which the weekly collaborations are pulled. Any article or list on Wikipedia can be nominated, although articles that do not meet the suggested criteria are unlikely to gain consensus.

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.

Review process

Any user may vote on the suitability of nominations to be listed at AFI.
Please use the code #'''Support''' or #'''Oppose''', add your reasoning, and sign with ~~~~. You may also add comments. Improperly formatted votes may be missed by the bot.
MusikBot will mark nominations with at least 3 net support votes (3 more support votes than oppose votes) as approved and those with at least 3 net oppose votes as unapproved. The bot will automatically list successful nominations and archive all closed nominations.
Registered members of the project may choose to override the bot at their discretion in instances where straight vote totals do not appear to reflect community consensus.

Nominating an article

Check that the article you want to nominate isn't already listed.

Post the nomination at the top of the list in the appropriate category, using this code:

===(Article title)===
{{AFI nom|article=(Article title)|class=unknown|hits=(Number of daily hits)}}
*(Nomination text) ~~~~

Fill out the parts in parentheses. You can find an article's class on its talk page and its approximate daily hits using this tool.
Please do not support your own nominations.

Cape Verde (also known as Cabo Verde) is an island nation in the Atlantic Ocean. The article is a level 4 vital article with an average of 5,300 daily hits last year, and a recent spike in views due to their excellent performance in the World Cup. The article currently has 10 inline problem tags for updates and citations needed. Many paragraphs are uncited, and there is a discussion of some issues on the talk page. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 20:40, 11 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Greater Bengaluru Authority

Greater Bengaluru Authority – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 118 daily hits

The municipal body that was responsible for the administration of Bengaluru, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike with 225 wards was abolished and replaced with five individual municipal bodies: Bengaluru Central City Corporation with 63 wards, Bengaluru North City Corporation with 72 wards, Bengaluru South City Corporation with 72 wards, Bengaluru East City Corporation with 50 wards and Bengaluru West City Corporation with 112 wards, all under this apex body Greater Bengaluru Authority, responsible for coordinating with the different municipal bodies, Government of Karnataka and other parastatal agencies in Bengaluru. The new municipal bodies are due for election in August of 2026 (2026 Greater Bengaluru Authority elections). The main page nominated here seems to be way behind in the information updated and the depth in the content. I tried to discuss in the article's talk page, but no one seems to discuss there. Also, I found there is no wiki pages for these new municipal bodies. I heard this is the place you go to find people to improve an article, so here I am. Looking foreword for a positive response. Thank you. ~2026-23412-42 (talk) 12:27, 24 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Nelson, British Columbia

Nelson, British Columbia – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 204 daily hits

Please excuse me if I'm posting this request in the wrong place. The article Nelson, British Columbia seems to have been started in 2003. It now has a history of more than two decades, through which many corrections and improvements have been posted, along with a great deal of informational content expansion. It still has a "Start Class" notice at the top. This now seems inappropriate. Please help by considering whether this status may now be changed. Thanks.Joel Russ (talk) 13:56, 30 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, sorry, but this is the wrong place to reassess the class of this article, I feel like peer review maybe a good place to start. SVcode(Talk) 23:53, 21 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Kenyon

Robert Kenyon – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - N/A daily hits

The new article on Kenyon covers a politician who is a candidate (and one of two likely to succeed based on polling and analysis) in the 2026 Makerfield by-election. The by-election is a major event as it has ramifications on whom the next UK prime minister might be. Improved coverage of the candidate is therefore in the interest of the public and Wikipedia readers. For now, I'd like to please ask specifically for feedback on how to improve it to B-class standard. Thank you! 13tez (talk) 23:10, 20 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, article nominated for deletion, also it is b class and there is a lot of work on the article. SVcode(Talk) 20:30, 1 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Adobe RGB color space

Adobe RGB color space – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 86 daily hits

This article is now considered vital at level 5, and a lot of art designers love it, yet it is of Start-class, having two inline templates ({{failed verification}} and {{dubious}}), thus it definitely should be an AFI, despite having a low daily-hit number.--RekishiEJ (talk) 17:27, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose for the mass nomination of 5 color spaces (2/4), when the list of accepted AFI nominations contains more than plenty color/graphics topics already queued, (like 10+ or so), including another color space which has already passed.

Amplify Energy

Amplify Energy – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 8 daily hits

This article has strange prose. The flow of text throughout could be vastly improved, and some info could likely quite easily be removed as irrelevant. It currently acts more as a list of tangentially-related information, rather than a proper article about the company in question. There are also numerous direct links which should be properly cited. I have made some improvements, but more are required. Low number of daily hits, so not necessarily a priority, but adding it here as I edited it today.

Oppose This article seems to have more than enough information for what it is ( a trademarked word used occasionally in sports), and adding more would only bloat the article. All it needs is splitting the large "Trademark" section and adding a few more references to it. For the rest of the article, references are provided, and it only really needs inline citations. Altogether, it doesn't seem like the article needs a lot of work from where it is at. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Somepinkdude (talk • contribs) 01:33, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
