- List of golf courses in the United Kingdom – After and per the AfD discussion, I cleaned-up the article of red links and moved them to the talk page here, within the Extended content collapse box. However, redirects to non-golf course articles are still in place, and some, but not all, at the AfD discussion opined for the redirects to be removed as well.

- Timeline of the liberation of France - The table needs a lot of fixing to bring the columns into line that are way beyond my meager skills. MarnetteD|Talk 20:00, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

- 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)
- Bbarmadillo (talk) 16:30, 5 March 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. --
- Sound an Alarm - the article needs copy editing as the text is not encyclopedic. Also I was wondering if it needs name change. Less Unless (talk) 14:43, 27 February 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)
- Jessica Hammond (politician) - too many links in external links section - needs shortening, now it looks like the author tried too hard.Less Unless (talk) 19:19, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

- Bbarmadillo (talk) 18:37, 27 February 2021 (UTC) Partly done trimmed down promotion, added citation requests. A lot more cleanup is needed. --

- Awker22 (talk) 19:56, 2 February 2021 (UTC) Partly done Put most of the lead in a separate section. Still needs a fair bit of copyediting and cleanup. --
- List of Tom and Jerry characters - List of characters in the cartoon Tom and Jerry. 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)

- Lee Labrada - Cuban bodybuilder. Too commercial, and has no references. Will also need to be split into multiple sections since it is too hard to read. May also include original research. -- Phantasm99 (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)

- Afternoon of a Faun (Robbins) - 1958 ballet. Revival and other companies sections are unreferenced and has formatting issues, should be either removed or reformatted. There had been revivals every few years and the ballet is performed by many companies so my stance is to remove the two sections. Corachow (talk) 16:08, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
- Corachow. Ghostofakina (talk) 19:40, 4 June 2020 (UTC) Partly done - Formatting done by myself and
- A Midsummer Night's Dream (ballet) - the revival section is unreferenced and has formatting issues. I think it has to be reformatted or removed. Corachow (talk) 15:33, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
- Miriumjenkins (talk) 16:52, 4 June 2020 (UTC) Partly done - I put the revival section in a table to fix the formatting and found one reference naming members of the original cast but this section needs more references
- Bolo (1987 video game) - A 1987 multiplayer tank strategy game, and an early game with networking capabilities. Uncited fancruft, and the articles only sources are two primary sources from the creator of the Macintosh port of the game. Waxworker (talk) 01:23, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- PJvanMill (talk) 19:12, 5 June 2020 (UTC) Partly done I've found a secondary source, which is in "Further reading" for now. I've removed most of the fancruft. It still needs a lot more citations, but many claims in the article could be backed up adequately by a primary source.
- African diaspora I've never seen such a jumbled mess of wikitext in my life! Is there no source code editors here any more? You can't even find the lead because of a run on infobox. Is there a cleanup bot that can be run on this? Has many more issues like self-definition the the word disaspora (not in Chromium dictionary but neither was "disproven") and I stopped there and went to the talk page then made a clarifying edit. Jimbo's talk page was promoting the wikiproject with same name so i went there to find out what the word meant. Technophant (talk) 21:26, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- Christine Shevchenko - Ukrainian-American ballet dancer. The page has many unreliable sources, mainly from blogs and forums, had been cleaned up twice before but was added again, with the unreliable source tag removed by the editor who place those sources back. Also some tone issues in the career section. Corachow (talk) 03:40, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- ThinkHat (talk) 16:28, 3 June 2020 (UTC) Partly done Cleaned up sources again. Details may need condensing.
- Triethylborane (talk) 17:21, 12 June 2020 (UTC) Partly done I cleaned up some grammar and made some details more concise, removing a few I deemed irrelevant. Not sure if more fixing is desired. If no more is, consider this page done.
- The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes – excessively long plot. I've already tried compressing the first half but there's extremely excessive details that could use some help cleaning up. Rosalina2427 (talk to me) 04:04, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
- List of warez groups - A list of warez groups, which publish pirated/cracked content. This article has a serious issue: the site 'defacto2' is used extensively throughout the article, but the site is now usurped and links to straight-up malware that MalwareBytes identifies as a trojan. Many of the links are permanent dead links as well. Waxworker (talk) 01:26, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
May
- Hunter (video game) - A 1991 video game using procedurally generated 3D graphics. The gameplay & reception sections read as being written by a fan, and gameplay appears as original research due to this and the lack of inline citations in it. I've already done some work on this article in improving its citations to have archive.org links and such. Waxworker (talk) 18:47, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- Arigatō tokoro (talk) 10:17, 7 March 2021 (UTC) Partly done I cleaned up the language, removed some of the advertising, and cut out needless quotes. Probably still needs another pass.
- Team Yankee - A fictional 1987 war novel. Formatting issues, consists primarily of a long plot summary,
lack of inline citations. Citations are bare URLs.Waxworker (talk) 17:23, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
- Less Unless (talk) 12:58, 24 May 2020 (UTC) Partly done converted urls, marked 1 as dead
- Comment: Struck part of the nomination above. The article presently has no bare urls, and this project no longer accepts requests for the addition of citations. North America1000 23:42, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- The Case of the Cautious Condor - A 1989 mystery adventure game. Tone issues,
minimal citations, and the majority of the page's content is in the summary section. Waxworker (talk) 12:17, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: Struck part of the above. The article was expanded with the addition of sections, which addressed the matter of all its content formerly being in the lead section. Also, this project no longer accepts requests for the addition of citations. North America1000 23:39, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- Tolu' A Akinyemi - This article belongs to [People] and requires cleanup because of improper citations and tone. Help reimprove.Thanks Olatunde Brain (talk) 21:12, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
- Note: - Article was under deletion review but has since been restored. Ghostofakina (talk) 22:21, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- List of Kamen Rider Ghost characters - List of characters from the series Kamen Rider Ghost, a live-action Japanese drama. Excessive uncited fancruft. Waxworker (talk) 18:27, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Up for Grabs (play) - A 2000 play about the international art market. Page reads somewhat as an advertisement and has overall issues with tone and quality of citations. Waxworker (talk) 18:27, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Dinny and the Witches - A satirical 1948 play. Overall issues with tone, formatting,
and lack of sources. Waxworker (talk) 18:27, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Less Unless (talk) 09:10, 16 May 2020 (UTC) Partly done - added 3 refs, removed unreferenced tag.
- Comment: Struck part of the above. This project no longer accepts requests for the addition of citations. North America1000 23:44, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- Casanova (comics) - 2006 spy/espionage themed comic series. Uncited fancruft, minor formatting and tone issues. Waxworker (talk) 18:27, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Roxlee: This is an article that must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy. It has multiple issues (see its templates), including containing highly promotional content and having virtually no reliable sources. I'm suspecting it may even violate the BLP policy. As such, it urgently needs cleanup. Please help by improving it, and/or correct me if I am wrong. MrSwagger21 (talk) 03:03, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
- LGBT rights in Zambia - Some issues: duplicate information, citations in incorrect place, lack of coherence, uncited information. Mnonkes (talk)
April
- Northanger Abbey -- too long, excessively detailed, needs to be written more cohesively. Tetrahedron17 (talk) 04:15, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: @Tetrahedron17: Despite being a lengthy article, much (but not all) of it is well-cited. The request above will require extensive copy editing, along with a cleanup editor willing to take what could be a fair amount of time to first learn a great deal about the novel before before embarking upon reducing the article. It is possible that the accommodation of this extensive request may not come into fruition here. Ultimately, this request, relative to the article, would be better suited for WP:GOCER, in my opinion. North America1000 18:11, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
- Jamia Millia Islamia -- Indian public university. The page is written like the uni's info brochure. Tetrahedron17 (talk) 09:42, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- Democratic Socialists of America — major overuse of first-party sources leads to an article with no criticism that makes the organization sound way more significant than it is. See Talk:Democratic Socialists of America#No criticism, bad sources. DemonDays64 (talk) 14:23, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- Armageddon#Etymology – needs thorough copy-editing / revision; see there.--Hildeoc (talk) 19:57, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Staci Bilbo - American neuroscientist. The article is too long and needs to be shortened. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 14:07, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- Select publications is still too long. Tetrahedron17 (talk) 18:14, 20 April 2020 (UTC) Partly done
- Bullseye (mascot) — could be expanded, clean up confusing statements. DemonDays64 (talk) 01:56, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
March
- World War I casualties#Casualties by post-war (1924) borders — way too repetitive explaining the book by Erikman. I'm not sure how to make it more elegant, could someone please take a look? Thanks, DemonDays64 (talk) 18:50, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
- C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) – Requires some extensive copyediting for grammar as well as unreferenced and lengthy quotes. Nrco0e (talk) 03:35, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
- Tricontinental Conference 1966 - lead section too long, multiple cases of references duplication. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 20:54, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
