@Lydia_Pintscher, what do you think about the middle quality classes. Could we pick and choose criteria and make statements about what types of items belongs at which level?
E.g.
- E: Anything that doesn't the D criteria
- D: A few useful statements and a description in at least one language
- C: At least one non-trivial statement is referenced.
- B: Aliases and description are translated into >= 5 languages
- A: All Showcase criteria met
This is just an example. For English Wikipedia's 1.0 assessments they have descriptions that are a bit more subjective and make references to process and the level of coverage.
- Stub: The article is either a very short article or a rough collection of information that will need much work to become a meaningful article. It is usually very short; but, if the material is irrelevant or incomprehensible, an article of any length falls into this category. Although Stub-class articles are the lowest class of the normal classes, they are adequate enough to be an accepted article, though they do have risks of being dropped from being an article all together.
- Start: The article has a usable amount of good content but is weak in many areas. Quality of the prose may be distinctly unencyclopedic, and MoS compliance non-existent. The article should satisfy fundamental content policies, such as BLP. Frequently, the referencing is inadequate, although enough sources are usually provided to establish verifiability. No Start-Class article should be in any danger of being speedily deleted.
- C: The article cites more than one reliable source and is better developed in style, structure, and quality than Start-Class, but it fails one or more of the criteria for B-Class. It may have some gaps or missing elements; need editing for clarity, balance, or flow; or contain policy violations, such as bias or original research. Articles on fictional topics are likely to be marked as C-Class if they are written from an in-universe perspective. It is most likely that C-Class articles have a reasonable encyclopedic style.
- B: The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations. The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. The article has a defined structure. The article is reasonably well-written. The article contains supporting materials where appropriate. The article presents its content in an appropriately understandable way.
- GA: Well written: the prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct. Verifiable and it contains no original research. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism. Broad in its coverage: it addresses the main aspects of the topic. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
