Option 1

Article title: Sarah Deer

Article Evaluation: This article is listed as a stub. It's required to adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) as it has materials about a living person. No one has started a discussion on the talk page. This page only has the main section under the article, containing 3 paragraphs (and one more sentence), and the bibliography section. In the bibliography, 5 of her books are included, and only 1 of her articles. The information that is included in this page is well-cited, but a lot of her work and what her work encompasses has been excluded. I think there's a lot more room for her work and life to be shared. Additionally, none of her work since 2014 has been included (only a few minor updates on her academic status have been included since then).

Option 2

Article title: Dina Gilio-Whitaker

Article Evaluation: This article is rated start-class, so there's lots of room to help edit and improve this article. The page actually began out of another course assignment apart of Wiki Education! More updates on her writings and work published could be added, as it's not all up to date. Additional information on how she uses her work is missing and should be included. It's a great start of an article and some edits will help better it.

Option 3

Article title: Mia Lopez

Article Evaluation: There is no current article for Mia Lopez, and I want to propose one. She is a member of the Coastal Band of the Chumash Nation, serving as a cultural educator for the past 25 years. She created the SPACE - Su'nan Protection Art Cultural Education - a place for both the Chumash and Intertribal community of Santa Barbara to come together in community and bring strength to it. She is also on the board for the Northern Chumash Tribal Council and the American Indian Health and Services (AIHS). She has created the land acknowledgement for UC Santa Barbara. She has been accredited to a lot of things encompassed by all her roles above, that I think a page dedicated to her would be worthy and have notoriety.
