- Majida Al-Mufti - Circassian activist. Probably notable. The style of the article is quite promotional. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 14:37, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

- Multiverse (EdTech) - British educational company. References should be evaluated, there are too many references now for such a small text, and not all of them are entirely independent. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 19:29, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

- Magic Knight - Fictional knight that stars in a series of 80's computer games. The article has tone issues, and alternates between being about the character itself, and the game series it stars in as a whole. Original research and slight gamecruft issues. Waxworker (talk) 14:38, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

- Cueva de las Manos – The article needs source formatting cleanup. More specifically, the article needs standardization of references, per Talk:Cueva_de_las_Manos#Pre-FAC_comments and Talk:Cueva_de_las_Manos#Reference_formatting on its talk page. I am currently working on this already, but I need assistance. Thank you for your help! Best, Tyrone Madera (talk) 19:28, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
Century: Age of Ashes – Needs formatting to correct spacing and remove excessive bold typeface.North America1000 03:15, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
Wavetec - company article. The company is probably not notable, multiple cases of WP:REFBOMB, unnecessary links at the "External links" section.--Bbarmadillo (talk) 19:35, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

List of fact-checking websites - Visually a mess, format of entries is inconsistent, references mid-sentence, missing trans-title parameters in citations.Platonk (talk) 21:50, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
- Done all the above mentioned.Less Unless (talk) 20:19, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions - bare urls in Ref section.Less Unless (talk) 13:09, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
- Police vehicles in the United States and Canada - Article is predominantly sourced from content found at policecararchives.org (a self-published online database) which is not cited but mentioned only in the external link section. Article is mostly uncited, and it has been this way since it was created in 2006, having gone through a series of expansions with several other online self-published websites/databases. See this 2010 version. Probably should be AfD'd, but could use another pair of eyes for evaluation to see if it could be cleaned up (with a chainsaw trimming job). Platonk (talk) 02:27, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
- Appreciation Index - There are quite a few broken links here and there in this article that need some updating, as the information provided talks about the average AIs from a decade ago and needs to be updated to be more recent. Pahiy (talk) 21:21, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Neustar - the History section needs rewriting - almost every sentence starts with dates (WP:PROSELINE) and it's really choppy and repetitive. Bridget (talk) 16:07, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done shortened a bit. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 18:03, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
- Karim Benzema - This protected GA contains a section with an excessive amount of citations. A slight trimming would do nicely. — WILDSTARtalk 12:59, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
- Akhtar Mohiuddin - No references provided for any information and there is no structure to the article - Hamza Ali Shah (Talk) 00:06, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
Mazowe Boys High School - Article follows very little guidelines and breaks the manual of style.TheXug (talk) 22:14, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

- Done with the participation of Less Unless, Platonk, Rusalkii and yours truly. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 08:21, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

- Music of the African diaspora + Black music. In the context of music, the articles refer to the same thing, and probably either need to be reworked to make the difference between the entities clear, or the articles should be merged. List of musical genres of the African diaspora (which is probably also needs to be cleaned up) also indicates that there is no difference between the entries at the moment. Solidest (talk) 15:59, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: I would support a merge of those two articles if you'd like to formally propose it (WP:MERGEPROP). ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:02, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
BWM Architects - Austrian architecture company. The article needs to be cleaned up according to WP:NOTCATALOG.--Bbarmadillo (talk) 20:10, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- Comment:I've noticed that all of the links are for the catalogue section, and once you delete that, it becomes completely unsourced. As such, I'm nominating it for deletion.
- Not done Deleted. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 08:22, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- Social class in France the article looks like a draft - do you think it should be draftified? Moreover there's some issue with tagging and text. Less Unless (talk) 15:06, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: @Less Unless: I evaluated the article and placed my findings on its talk page. Platonk (talk) 21:40, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: I believe that article should be nominated for deletion. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:05, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- Psychology of collecting - neutrality concerns, and it has been suggested that it may need to be merged into Collecting. (for an IP editor) PJvanMill)talk( 07:34, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
September
- Sol Kumin - Contains too much information (including lists of top racehorses he owns) and lean that might be better suited for a personal website and not a Wikipedia page. WP:COPYEDIT, MOS:LIST, WP:NEUTRAL. JRHorse (talk) 13:34, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done. I did a major copyedit on the article, but no major trim. Details on article's talk page. Platonk (talk) 01:56, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- Thomas & Friends merchandise - Unorganized and unsourced. An absolute mess of an article. Green Shy Guy 54 (talk) 15:06, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- South Yorkshire Transport - Tagging because while I thought this had only one section that was biased, it appears the entire article, written in 2007, massively fails WP:NPOV, barely makes use of one source and seems to have been written with some sort of malice by the original creator - see recently deleted entry on competition between companies. Would like some pointers on where I can go with it, or perhaps a decision on scrapping the article entirely and starting anew/merge it into either South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive/First South Yorkshire. For those in the know, should I write about Mainline in that article or does that go in First South Yorkshire? Unsure if this should go here, but worth a shot at discussing. Hullian111 (talk) 21:32, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

- Hayden Bridge (Springfield, Oregon) — could use a once-over to ensure compliance with the MOS. Thanks! Tyrone Madera (talk) 21:22, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Tyrone Madera, the article looks fine at a first glance. I made some minor adjustments to the formatting and removed some external links per WP:ELNO. Do you have any specific concerns about its compliance with the MOS? Bridget (talk) 19:30, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Bridget! No specific concerns, just wanted someone to double-check me to make sure that the article was following the relevant guidelines. If you haven't seen anything that stands out to you, I would mark this as done. Thank you for looking it over!Tyrone Madera (talk) 20:44, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

- Romani society and culture - article contains large spelling, grammatical, and stylistic errors, significant unsubstantiated claims and overly biased assertions (especially in relation to the origin of the Romani people), and overall unencyclopedic formatting and tone. Builder018 (talk) 11:26, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
- Bunny Gibson – actress page needs major cleanup, with special attention for "References" section. KidAd • SPEAK 01:51, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

- Love Showdown (Archie Comics) – A rather notable Archie Comics storyline from the mid-1990s, the article may be in the territory of fancruft and original research.
I'm thinking with a few citations (articles about the storyline that the only Internet Archive citation mentioned in passing, the aftermath of the storyline, and its impact years later.) could help expand the article.Pahiy (talk) 14:05, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- List_of_LGBTQ_Academy_Award_winners_and_nominees#Citations – See description there.--Hildeoc (talk) 14:14, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Most importantly, needs citations to establish WP:NOTE (if not, would move to delete).Good chunk of the article does not appear to adhere to WP:NPOV and shouts WP:SOAP.Lots of copy edits needed.JRHorse (talk) 03:29, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done - Copy edit done. Neutral POV still needs to be ensured. Taeluta (talk) 05:35, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

- Partly done – Formatted the page per MOS. North America1000 11:13, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
- Teleserye - similar problems, with lots of fancruft and requires verification. There were proposals to merge it with telenovela, but nothing's come of it. Can someone have a look at this? Image2012 (talk) 12:28, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- List of The Loud House characters - fancruft,
prone to vandalism and edit warring,and could also need some good sourcing. Image2012 (talk) 09:23, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- Appreciate the intervention in the edit warring situation. Now we just have to do the rest. Image2012 (talk) 05:04, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
- Note: Struck part of the above regarding needing more sourcing, which is no longer in the purview of this project. North America1000 11:17, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

(talk) 22:06, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done Removed a large chunk of the article that describes in detail the armada of the norts and southers as if they're real armed forces, a violation of Wikipedia:INUNIVERSE. At least it's not past tense. ☢️Plutonical☢️ᵀᵃˡᵏ ᵗᵒ ᵐᵉ 18:57, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
- R. Ponnappan Nadar - Except for the first few paragraphs, the article is entirely copied from his (no longer available) foundation's biography page [1], however I'm not sure how credible that information is or if the subject is even notable enough for Wikipedia. – Normal Name (talk) 05:12, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done Removed a good amount of the article, mostly including content that violated WP:NPOV and WP:NOTEVERYTHING. Considering a nomination for WP:AFD. Rosalina2427 (talk) 04:34, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
- Rajasthan Accounts Service - Looks like it was copied from a job listing and lists the responsibilities of each position. Would need to be completely redone – Normal Name (talk) 19:01, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done Huge chunk was a copy vio. Tagged and notified. Platonk (talk) 23:24, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- The Carpentries
- tagged for linkrot and formatting issue;excessive detail likely needs a trim or rewrite. Aranya (talk) 19:46, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done — WILDSTARtalk 02:45, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done - trimmed a bit, added an advert tag - the article looks very promotional to me, but as I am not competent in the sphere, I'd prefer someone else take a look at it.Less Unless (talk) 10:56, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Seijuu Sentai Gingaman - This article is among several other articles related to Super Sentai that contains original research and fancruft issues with issues for this dating back to March 2008. I would trim it myself but afraid to have the pitchforks from some fans come after me if the section detailing the characters and arsenal is better suitable for RangerWiki is trimmed down. But in my opinion, it seriously needs to be trimmed for general audiences to understand better. Pahiy (talk) 18:43, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
June
- Insufficient justification - Needs slight adjustment in the tone of the article. It was written as if it was a school assignment. AbhigyaDahal (talk) 08:55, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
- Language interoperability - about programming language interoperability. An important concept with a low quality article. At least the grammar needs to be fixed, but it would be good to rewrite the entire thing. The section about VMs seems unrelated to me. Akeosnhaoe (talk) 06:14, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
- Nickelodeon Toys - Toys manufactured by kids television network Nickelodeon. Lots of original research, I've already removed some unreliable sources like Pininterest and Reddit. Waxworker (talk) 15:21, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
Listia - Online auction marketplace that uses credits instead of money. Lots of unreliable/primary refs and original research, I've already removed a bunch of links to individual auctions for Amazon gift cards.Waxworker (talk) 13:37, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done Original research has been removed, still has a lot of primary refs though. HoneycrispApples (talk) 21:53, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
- Done with the participation from Bridget, HoneycrispApples, David Gerard and yours truly. I also added "Update" tag as some parts of the article might not reflect the current state of things. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 09:38, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

- Mega Man Maverick Hunter X - Needs expansion on the Plot and Gameplay headings, alongside some sentence rewrites. Shadowboxer2005 (talk) 02:03, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- Nintendo Gamer - Defunct British gamaing magazine dedicated to Nintendo games and hardware. Original research and fancruft issues, I've already removed sections dedicated to recurring jokes and a table of the highest scoring games, but the 'sections/features' section still needs trimming. Waxworker (talk) 15:54, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
- Amiga Power - Defunct 90's British gaming magazine dedicated to the Amiga line of computers. Lots of original research, promotional tone issues, and a lot of fancruft, with a good chunk of the article focusing on recurring jokes in the magazine. Waxworker (talk) 15:43, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
April
- Bontang – Just undergo some restructuring and rewriting, need cleanup (idk what to cleanup tho but it looks a bit messy), thanks. Nyanardsan (talk) 22:21, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done Fixed spelling and grammar issues throughout the article. Bradster763 (talk) 17:11, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
- Dennis the Menace (U.S. comics) - An American comic strip about a mischievous boy named Dennis, not to be confused with a similar British strip of the same name. Fancruft and tone issues, as well as reliance on primary sources - a good chunk of the references on the article are the comic itself or unsuitable refs such as IMDB or the Grand Comics Database, which I'm not sure of the reliability of. I've already removed some particuilarly inappropriate refs such as links to search results on Bing. Waxworker (talk) 16:57, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- Schrödinger's cat in popular culture - Examples of the thought experiment Schrödinger's cat in pop culture. Excessive pop culture trivia that is uncited or cites itself, and there are inappropriate sources like Amazon and Facebook. I already removed an inappropriate section titled "merchandise", as it consisted of a bunch of links to buy shirts with Schrödinger's cat on them on sites like ThinkGeek. Waxworker (talk) 14:08, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
Comment: - How would everyone here feel about nominating this article for deletion? It breaks a lot of rules on indiscriminate fan trivia and unreliable sources.---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:46, 3 July 2021 (UTC)- The above suggestion has not attracted any support so it's off the table. The article seems to have some semi-regular editors who add things periodically, so cleaning it up might work better in the form of discussions with them at the article's talk page. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 20:44, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- Jampack - "Jampack Demos & Videos Listed" is a strangely-formatted list that's difficult to read. Also, there are a few issues in the lead, I think. AdoTang (talk) 03:20, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Johnson & Johnson#Coronavirus (COVID-19) - This section just sloppy. Tense errors like thinking September 2020's in the future. Lots of small paragraphs that were added when they were fresh. Poor transitions. In short, a lot of additions as the news came out, but it really needs to be thought through, molded into sensible paragraphs—stuff like that. Maybe it can just be stripped down since there's a full article about this? Thmazing (talk) 07:08, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
- Gals Panic - A Japanese series of erotic games predominately released for arcades. Massive amounts of uncited gamecruft - article is insanely long for what it is. Waxworker (talk) 22:52, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
- Hadas Thier - American socialist and book author. I thought about AfD, but she may be notable. The article definitely needs a cleanup. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 06:05, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done Checked the publications and removed less important ones, checked book reviews and removed promo citations from the publisher. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 19:55, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: Hi Viséan: The article has received some attention, on 3 April 2021 (UTC) from ThinkHat, which was denoted with an edit summary stating "Clean up" (diff). Did this address your concerns? North America1000 15:08, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

February
- Manuel Fal Conde - This article has multiple issues, it has a non-academic writing style, the chronology of this article is hard to follow, there are several grammatical or spelling errors. I think this article was translated from Spanish by a non-native speaker of English, as several definite articles are missing. Xwedodah (talk) 03:52, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done checked the "External links" section and removed some sources. It is strange that the Spanish version of the article is 10 times shorter than the English one. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 16:30, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thecho - Some sections are like lists. They need to be converted into the prose. Further, the article is unreferenced and citations should be added. –Kammill ⟨talk⟩ 08:51, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Marcelo Salas - this is an article about a very important footballer, but it is poorly written, and it seems like many parts were translated from Spanish literally. The intro seems to be too long and has too much information, some of it of dubious importance.--Celtic1985 (talk) 14:59, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- List of New York City Ballet dancers - poorly referenced, horrible citation style, many links redirects back to the article itself. Corachow (talk) 23:47, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Massive amount of uncited fancruft and outright false information, such as giving names to unnamed characters and listing brief visual gags as a character in of themselves, as well as odd non-sequitur statements such as "There is some debate as to whether this is the genuine Clint Clobber as the original Clint would never be an outright animal abuser; he was just a put-upon grouch". A lot of the false information given seems to also be on the Tom & Jerry fandom wiki. Waxworker (talk) 07:42, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Note: Not all of it may be false information. There are nicknames to almost all the characters in the Tom and Jerry universe, so it's possible someone heard about these nicknames and put them in the page. So I would keep the normally unnamed characters in, but remove the breif visual gag characters as you said. Phantasm99 (talk) 18:50, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

- Victor Mbarika - an American professor. Flagged for COI. --Opeinioluwa101 (talk)
- Joanne Wilson - US venture investor. It is a properly stated WP:COI contribution. Here is an opinion from DGG: "I can't help thinking that the article is considerably excessive in view of the accomplishments. Perhaps it could be fixed by not including mere listings as awards, (and converting the table into a list--because of accessability problems tables as deprecated unless necessary), i moving those items in the bibliography that discuss her into references in the usual format, and possible decreasing the rather extreme number of references, too many of which are barely disguised PR, and from sources which are mainly devoted to publishing press releases" (expressed here). -- --Bbarmadillo (talk) 18:51, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
