This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump. |
Suitable articles at the Article nomination board are likely to appeal to a wide variety of editors, and have sufficient potential for improvement: Stub-Class, Start-Class and C-Class articles are ideal for nomination.
Articles and lists nominated here can be about any topic on Wikipedia. To encourage diversity, nominations are listed under the following topical areas:
Be bold! Articles here can can be edited at any time by all users, regardless of project membership status. As such, this page also functions as a general noticeboard for English Wikipedia. All nominations will be automatically archived by MusikBot once they are closed, and successful nominations are automatically listed at the Articles for improvement page.

Articles
The following are nominations to become a today's article for improvement (TAFI) entry. Please do not nominate an article unless you are fairly certain that it meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Any nomination of an article that does not meet this criteria may be removed. Any user may nominate and support or oppose an article below, however only members of this project may close nominations as successful or unsuccessful.
Successful nominations have few or no objections and at least 3 supports. They are then moved to the holding area and from there into the schedule. Please add new entries to the holding area at the end of the section lists, to maintain chronological sorting (so that older entries there are scheduled first). Unsuccessful nominations can be archived after 10 days of no discussion.
Please be sure to sign nominations with four tildes: ~~~~

Major rock band, 60 million albums sold worldwide including 5 platinum, active for nearly 45 years. I have recently identified problems on the talk page and downgraded its assessment from B to Start, but in summary, the article needs major work on sourcing and POV. I would ultimately like to see this reach GA status, but even a day's serious work will help. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:24, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
- After finding the article quality going backwards again due to IP edits, I have had to put a {{fanpov}} tag on this article, which has been edit warred over with by IPs.
