{{for|General information about drafts on Wikipedia|Wikipedia:Draft}}
{{WikiProject status|active|sc1=WP:ABANDON|sc2=WP:ABANDONED|sc3=WP:Abandoned Drafts}}
Welcome to '''WikiProject Abandoned Drafts'''. Several Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's use of article drafts left in retired users' subpages and in Draft space. The project seeks to organize information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please [[#Participants|join]] the project, inquire on the [[Wikipedia talk:Wikiproject Abandoned Drafts|talk page]] and see the [[#Open tasks|to-do list]] below.
<!-- An optional image relating to the topic, best aligned to the right, can go here -->
== Goals ==
* To better organize and work toward having userspace drafts of previously abandoned and uncreated articles eventually introduced into the mainspace.
* To eliminate unsuitable material from Draft and Userspace
The purpose of Wikipedia is to build out mainspace with as many qualified topics as possible. There is no mandate to build a shadow Wikipedia of unqualified and unsuitable topics in Draft and Userspace preserved and maintained for perpetuity. Project Abandoned Drafts plays an important role in building Wikipedia by bringing forward material that will further Wikipedia's goals.
There are two main kinds of pages identified as "drafts" in Wikipedia. "Good Drafts" are works in progress that have potential to be future mainspace articles, or sometimes material that can be used to improve existing mainspace articles. Project participants are encouraged to identify and take action to move these "Good Drafts" forward toward mainspace. "Bad Drafts" are pages that are essentially forever unsuitable for mainspace for various reasons. "Bad Drafts" may be simply blank, vandalism, attack pages, topics with no chance of notability, duplicates of mainspace pages, WP:NOTAWEBHOST violations and other problematic pages.
Given the tens of thousands of pages considered "drafts", finding Good Drafts and making them accessible for improvement and promotion to mainspace is not easy because they are surrounded by Bad Drafts. Therefore the identification and deletion of unsuitable "drafts" is a critical part of the process of improving the encyclopedia.
== Scope ==
Any drafts that are created by users who are deemed inactive, and which have no equivalent article in mainspace. Drafts can be in the following places:
*[[Wikipedia:Draft namespace|Draft namespace]] and in particular:
**[[:Category:AfC G13 eligible soon submissions]] These may be deleted within the next month
**[[:Category:AfC postponed G13]] pages that could have been speedy deleted but where an experienced user (Admin usually) felt the draft had significant potential.
**[[:Category:G13 eligible AfC submissions]] can be nominated for speedy deletion
**[[User:MusikBot/StaleDrafts/Report]] (old Draftspace pages with or without the AfC banners. Eligible for G13 after 6 months unedited)
*[[Help:Userspace draft|Userspace]] including:
**[[:Category:Stale userspace drafts]] contains tens of thousands of abandoned drafts, not usually submitted to AfC
**Search within Userspace and Draftspace by keyword (a major award, type of job, letter of the alphabet etc) to surface pages to review. Very few userspace pages are tagged as drafts).
**[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Abandoned Drafts/Stale drafts]] a sorted list of userspace drafts tagged as of Nov 2015 that we are working through to promote or delete
This project also allows the donation of drafts from users who do not feel like they are up to finishing them or have lost interest in the subject of the draft.
{{anchor|Guidelines}}
== Advice ==
{{WikiProject advice|type=section}}
*Only move article drafts that have not been edited for a considerable period of time. They can be moved into the article namespace if they are worthy of publication immediately, into the draft namespace to encourage collaborative improvement, or to your userspace if you intend to adopt them.
*Do not take drafts from active users. If the draft has been stale for an exceptional amount of time, however, feel free to leave a note on the active user's talk page asking if they plan on finishing the draft. (The {{tl|Uw-userspace draft finish}} may help.)
**Before dealing with any draft, make sure there is no equivalent article already in the mainspace. If so, it may require a [[WP:HISTMERGE|history merge]] (if the article was created as a copy-and-paste move from the draft) which can be requested or [[Wikipedia:Requests for history merge]] or it can be listed for deletion, usually per [[WP:UP#COPIES]], or just redirected at the mainspace topic.
*Make use of [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for Deletion]] to delete problematic pages and assist in handling pages nominated by other editors.
===Stale userspace drafts===
{{further|WP:STALE}}
[[:Category:Stale userspace drafts]] contains [[Wikipedia:User pages|userspace]] drafts that have not been edited for over a year. It is populated through the <code>{{tl|Userspace draft}}</code> template. Only the pages with the template will appear in this category.
# If you find a page in this category that is not an attempt at a draft, remove the invocation of <code>{{tl|userspace draft}}</code> from the page.
# Pages that are clearly vandalism, [[WP:ATTACK|attack pages]], unambiguous advertising or promotion, copyright infringements, or only contain the article wizard text should be [[WP:CSD|speedily deleted]].
# If you find a draft that is clearly on a non-notable topic and has no conceivable potential for an article, nominate it for deletion at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion]] if you can't speedy delete it (think U5 if the user did little else).
# For drafts on which a corresponding article already exists in the mainspace, check the histories of both the pages to see if a [[WP:history merge|history merge]] is required. If yes, tag the article with <code>{{<nowiki/>[[Template:histmerge|histmerge]]|''Draft page name''}}</code>. If not, redirect the draft page to the article.
# Where an inactive user's user page has been used for drafting or testing and the page is neither problematic or useful consider replacing the contents of the user page with <code>{{tl|Inactive userpage blanked}}</code> or <code>{{tl|userpage blanked}}</code> and notify the inactive user with <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>subst:[[template:uw-staleuserpageblanked|uw-staleuserpageblanked]]|''Page blanked''}} <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> or just blank the page to remove it from the maintenance category and avoid further housekeeping efforts.
# If you find a draft that is on a clearly notable topic, ensure the evidence of notability is cited, and, if the user is active, enquire with the creator why they are not moving it. Check first whether the topic is already covered in another article, and if so, whether it should be merged. Consider moving the page to the mainspace yourself, or tag it with <code>{{<nowiki/>subst:[[template:submit|submit]]}}</code> so that an AfC reviewer can review it.
# If you find a draft that is on a borderline notable topic, enquire with the page creator, if active, why they are not working upon it. <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>subst:[[Template:Uw-userspace draft finish|Uw-userspace draft finish]]|''Page name''}} <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> can be placed on their talk page. If the user is inactive, consider bringing the draft to the attention of associated WikiProjects, or to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Abandoned Drafts|WikiProject Abandoned Drafts]]. You may also consider improving the draft yourself.
# If the topic looks notable and is not covered in mainspace, but you are not comfortable readying it for mainspace, then move it to a suitable title in Draft space to expose it to more editors and encourage improvement, as long as the user is either active and happy for you to do this, or appears to have retired with no likelihood of returning to Wikipedia. (Be mindful of the more general [[#Guidelines]] above, and of the [[WP:NOBAN|conventions about editing within other users' userspaces]].)
# For topics already covered in mainspace placing a redirect on the userpage is a good idea. Sometimes the title makes a good redirect so you can move the title to mainspace and redirect it.
== Open tasks ==
<!-- What *specific* things need to be done. Lists of articles to be worked on are a good start. -->
{{To do}}
* Add <code>{{tl|Userspace draft}}</code> template to userspace drafts that don't have it. This will bring them forward to make them easier to find.
* A major ongoing cleanup project is here [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Abandoned_Drafts/Stale_drafts]]
== Participants ==

Please feel free to list your own Abandoned Drafts-here (newer articles at the top, please), along with a short description of what work is necessary. If you would like to adopt one of these articles, please feel free to move them to your own subspace and remove them from this list.
*[[Draft:Sylvermay]], tagged promising draft since 24 May 2020, creator of draft has been MIA since 23 February 2021.

* [[Draft:1586 Tenshō earthquake]]: This event is very notable and is well studied but many of the published materials are in Japanese and I don't have all the time to have them translated. Whoever's interested or is literate in Japanese could adopt this. -- [[User:Dora the Axe-plorer|Dora the Axe-ploere]] ([[User talk:Dora the Axe-plorer|talk]]) 06:48, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
*[[Draft:Charles Lamar Grant]] Somewhat notable young actor but this article was previously deleted. Main issues appear to be that non-regional (from outside Oregon) sources are needed to establish notability and that it reads as too promotional (maybe because of list of stage roles, though I had thought this might help establish notability). There are a few sources on page, plus IMDB and website links. Note: is credited as "Charles Grant" but I used middle name found in sources so as not to confuse him with other people of that name - it could be renamed. I think there's potential here and some notability if better sources can be found and article cleaned up and expanded a bit. I haven't necessarily completely given up on it, but not sure I can do much more now (going on a WikiBreak) or find the time or better sources, so donating it here in case someone else wants to take a go at it. -- [[User:HistoricalAccountings|HistoricalAccountings]] ([[User talk:HistoricalAccountings|talk]]) 04:32, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
*[[Draft:Alaric Bond]] - an English novelist and author of The Fighting Sail series of nautical fiction books. Mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleonic_Wars_in_fiction. Was moved back to draftspace as needs more work. As above, I haven't necessarily completely given up on it, but not sure I can do much more now (going on a WikiBreak) or find the time or better sources. Also donating it here in case someone else wants to take a go at it. -- [[User:HistoricalAccountings|HistoricalAccountings]] ([[User talk:HistoricalAccountings|talk]]) 23:42, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

*[[Draft:Ranu Mondal]]: Needs better style of writing [[User:Rocky 734|Rocky 734]] ([[User talk:Rocky 734|talk]]) 09:09, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
* [[User:Closeapple/new/List of popular non-English songs in English-speaking culture]]: Self-created, and has about a dozen major examples, but I haven't touched it since 2014. It appears to be a notable subject, regardless of size, and although "popular" is a bit subjective, bloat should be preventable by enforcing Wikipedia's general citation requirements to prove that the song was widely-recognized. Right now the external links are the sources, since I hadn't gotten very far; they should be converted to inline citations. Then the list can expand from there. (I'm OK with it staying in my userspace, or being moved to main article space, or whatever; even though I haven't worked on it recently, I don't consider it a dead-end page.) --[[User:Closeapple|Closeapple]] ([[User talk:Closeapple|talk]]) 21:22, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

{{for|General information about drafts on Wikipedia|Wikipedia:Draft}}
{{WikiProject status|active|sc1=WP:ABANDON|sc2=WP:ABANDONED|sc3=WP:Abandoned Drafts}}
Welcome to '''WikiProject Abandoned Drafts'''. Several Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's use of article drafts left in retired users' subpages and in Draft space. The project seeks to organize information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please [[#Participants|join]] the project, inquire on the [[Wikipedia talk:Wikiproject Abandoned Drafts|talk page]] and see the [[#Open tasks|to-do list]] below.
<!-- An optional image relating to the topic, best aligned to the right, can go here -->
== Goals ==
* To better organize and work toward having userspace drafts of previously abandoned and uncreated articles eventually introduced into the mainspace.
* To eliminate unsuitable material from Draft and Userspace
The purpose of Wikipedia is to build out mainspace with as many qualified topics as possible. There is no mandate to build a shadow Wikipedia of unqualified and unsuitable topics in Draft and Userspace preserved and maintained for perpetuity. Project Abandoned Drafts plays an important role in building Wikipedia by bringing forward material that will further Wikipedia's goals.
There are two main kinds of pages identified as "drafts" in Wikipedia. "Good Drafts" are works in progress that have potential to be future mainspace articles, or sometimes material that can be used to improve existing mainspace articles. Project participants are encouraged to identify and take action to move these "Good Drafts" forward toward mainspace. "Bad Drafts" are pages that are essentially forever unsuitable for mainspace for various reasons. "Bad Drafts" may be simply blank, vandalism, attack pages, topics with no chance of notability, duplicates of mainspace pages, WP:NOTAWEBHOST violations and other problematic pages.
Given the tens of thousands of pages considered "drafts", finding Good Drafts and making them accessible for improvement and promotion to mainspace is not easy because they are surrounded by Bad Drafts. Therefore the identification and deletion of unsuitable "drafts" is a critical part of the process of improving the encyclopedia.
== Scope ==
Any drafts that are created by users who are deemed inactive, and which have no equivalent article in mainspace. Drafts can be in the following places:
*[[Wikipedia:Draft namespace|Draft namespace]] and in particular:
**[[:Category:AfC G13 eligible soon submissions]] These may be deleted within the next month
**[[:Category:AfC postponed G13]] pages that could have been speedy deleted but where an experienced user (Admin usually) felt the draft had significant potential.
**[[:Category:G13 eligible AfC submissions]] can be nominated for speedy deletion
**[[User:MusikBot/StaleDrafts/Report]] (old Draftspace pages with or without the AfC banners. Eligible for G13 after 6 months unedited)
*[[Help:Userspace draft|Userspace]] including:
**[[:Category:Stale userspace drafts]] contains tens of thousands of abandoned drafts, not usually submitted to AfC
**Search within Userspace and Draftspace by keyword (a major award, type of job, letter of the alphabet etc) to surface pages to review. Very few userspace pages are tagged as drafts).
**[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Abandoned Drafts/Stale drafts]] a sorted list of userspace drafts tagged as of Nov 2015 that we are working through to promote or delete
This project also allows the donation of drafts from users who do not feel like they are up to finishing them or have lost interest in the subject of the draft.
{{anchor|Guidelines}}
== Advice ==
{{WikiProject advice|type=section}}
*Only move article drafts that have not been edited for a considerable period of time. They can be moved into the article namespace if they are worthy of publication immediately, into the draft namespace to encourage collaborative improvement, or to your userspace if you intend to adopt them.
*Do not take drafts from active users. If the draft has been stale for an exceptional amount of time, however, feel free to leave a note on the active user's talk page asking if they plan on finishing the draft. (The {{tl|Uw-userspace draft finish}} may help.)
**Before dealing with any draft, make sure there is no equivalent article already in the mainspace. If so, it may require a [[WP:HISTMERGE|history merge]] (if the article was created as a copy-and-paste move from the draft) which can be requested or [[Wikipedia:Requests for history merge]] or it can be listed for deletion, usually per [[WP:UP#COPIES]], or just redirected at the mainspace topic.
*Make use of [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for Deletion]] to delete problematic pages and assist in handling pages nominated by other editors.
===Stale userspace drafts===
{{further|WP:STALE}}
[[:Category:Stale userspace drafts]] contains [[Wikipedia:User pages|userspace]] drafts that have not been edited for over a year. It is populated through the <code>{{tl|Userspace draft}}</code> template. Only the pages with the template will appear in this category.
# If you find a page in this category that is not an attempt at a draft, remove the invocation of <code>{{tl|userspace draft}}</code> from the page.
# Pages that are clearly vandalism, [[WP:ATTACK|attack pages]], unambiguous advertising or promotion, copyright infringements, or only contain the article wizard text should be [[WP:CSD|speedily deleted]].
# If you find a draft that is clearly on a non-notable topic and has no conceivable potential for an article, nominate it for deletion at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion]] if you can't speedy delete it (think U5 if the user did little else).
# For drafts on which a corresponding article already exists in the mainspace, check the histories of both the pages to see if a [[WP:history merge|history merge]] is required. If yes, tag the article with <code>{{<nowiki/>[[Template:histmerge|histmerge]]|''Draft page name''}}</code>. If not, redirect the draft page to the article.
# Where an inactive user's user page has been used for drafting or testing and the page is neither problematic or useful consider replacing the contents of the user page with <code>{{tl|Inactive userpage blanked}}</code> or <code>{{tl|userpage blanked}}</code> and notify the inactive user with <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>subst:[[template:uw-staleuserpageblanked|uw-staleuserpageblanked]]|''Page blanked''}} <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> or just blank the page to remove it from the maintenance category and avoid further housekeeping efforts.
# If you find a draft that is on a clearly notable topic, ensure the evidence of notability is cited, and, if the user is active, enquire with the creator why they are not moving it. Check first whether the topic is already covered in another article, and if so, whether it should be merged. Consider moving the page to the mainspace yourself, or tag it with <code>{{<nowiki/>subst:[[template:submit|submit]]}}</code> so that an AfC reviewer can review it.
# If you find a draft that is on a borderline notable topic, enquire with the page creator, if active, why they are not working upon it. <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>subst:[[Template:Uw-userspace draft finish|Uw-userspace draft finish]]|''Page name''}} <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> can be placed on their talk page. If the user is inactive, consider bringing the draft to the attention of associated WikiProjects, or to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Abandoned Drafts|WikiProject Abandoned Drafts]]. You may also consider improving the draft yourself.
# If the topic looks notable and is not covered in mainspace, but you are not comfortable readying it for mainspace, then move it to a suitable title in Draft space to expose it to more editors and encourage improvement, as long as the user is either active and happy for you to do this, or appears to have retired with no likelihood of returning to Wikipedia. (Be mindful of the more general [[#Guidelines]] above, and of the [[WP:NOBAN|conventions about editing within other users' userspaces]].)
# For topics already covered in mainspace placing a redirect on the userpage is a good idea. Sometimes the title makes a good redirect so you can move the title to mainspace and redirect it.
== Open tasks ==
<!-- What *specific* things need to be done. Lists of articles to be worked on are a good start. -->
{{To do}}
* Add <code>{{tl|Userspace draft}}</code> template to userspace drafts that don't have it. This will bring them forward to make them easier to find.
* A major ongoing cleanup project is here [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Abandoned_Drafts/Stale_drafts]]

# {{User:DGG}}. I have for the last year been regularly screening everything in AfC G13 eligible-soon except those dealing with athletes or entertainers, but I concentrate on academics. If I think they have possibilities, most I just improve a little in the hope of further fixes later. But I will look at and fix and move to mainspace any draft on a clearly notable academic (as a rough screen, someone who holds a professorship) --notify me on my usertalk page. I will also look at deleted drafts, and undelete them if they have possibilities--you can ask me for that also. ˜ ~~~~

=== New articles to be adopted===
Please feel free to list your own Abandoned Drafts-here (newer articles at the top, please), along with a short description of what work is necessary. If you would like to adopt one of these articles, please feel free to move them to your own subspace and remove them from this list.
*[[Draft:Sylvermay]], tagged promising draft since 24 May 2020, creator of draft has been MIA since 23 February 2021. [[User:JalenFolf|<span style="font-size:1.2em;font-family:eurofurence;background:#368ec9;color:white">Jalen Folf</span>]] [[User talk:JalenFolf|<span style="background:#6babd6;color:black">(talk)</span>]] 07:00, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
*[[Draft:Boron_Fiber]], moved from userspace to draftspace. Ideally it could be used to improve [[Boron_fiber]], but currently I do have no time to work on this topic. [[User:I-Bin-A-Bibi|I-Bin-A-Bibi]] ([[User talk:I-Bin-A-Bibi|talk]]) 04:23, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
*[[Draft:Jason G. Ballard]] Has a list of references, but no inline citations. Needs a lot of overall work. This draft was abandoned because the person that wrote it got blocked. [[User:HelenDegenerate|<span style="background-color:backgroundcolour; color:Black;">'''Helen'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:HelenDegenerate|let’s talk]])</small> 02:14, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
* [[Draft:Walmartsucks.com]] - Adding this here, per [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Thewhitebox/Walmartsucks.com]] - <b>[[User:Jc37|jc37]]</b> 01:17, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
* [[Draft:1586 Tenshō earthquake]]: This event is very notable and is well studied but many of the published materials are in Japanese and I don't have all the time to have them translated. Whoever's interested or is literate in Japanese could adopt this. -- [[User:Dora the Axe-plorer|Dora the Axe-ploere]] ([[User talk:Dora the Axe-plorer|talk]]) 06:48, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
*[[Draft:Charles Lamar Grant]] Somewhat notable young actor but this article was previously deleted. Main issues appear to be that non-regional (from outside Oregon) sources are needed to establish notability and that it reads as too promotional (maybe because of list of stage roles, though I had thought this might help establish notability). There are a few sources on page, plus IMDB and website links. Note: is credited as "Charles Grant" but I used middle name found in sources so as not to confuse him with other people of that name - it could be renamed. I think there's potential here and some notability if better sources can be found and article cleaned up and expanded a bit. I haven't necessarily completely given up on it, but not sure I can do much more now (going on a WikiBreak) or find the time or better sources, so donating it here in case someone else wants to take a go at it. -- [[User:HistoricalAccountings|HistoricalAccountings]] ([[User talk:HistoricalAccountings|talk]]) 04:32, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
*[[Draft:Alaric Bond]] - an English novelist and author of The Fighting Sail series of nautical fiction books. Mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleonic_Wars_in_fiction. Was moved back to draftspace as needs more work. As above, I haven't necessarily completely given up on it, but not sure I can do much more now (going on a WikiBreak) or find the time or better sources. Also donating it here in case someone else wants to take a go at it. -- [[User:HistoricalAccountings|HistoricalAccountings]] ([[User talk:HistoricalAccountings|talk]]) 23:42, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
*[[Draft:Joel Fort]] has been moved to draft space following a long period of inactivity; it seems somewhat notable and likely could be developed. [[User:Halfadaniel|Halfadaniel]] ([[User talk:Halfadaniel|talk]]) 17:47, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
*[[User:Piranha249/sandbox/NHL playoff results]] and [[User:Piranha249/sandbox/Major League Baseball postseason results]]: Started these drafts (based on [[NFL playoff results]]) several years ago and never went back to them. Would love to see someone build beyond what I had worked on to this point. –[[User:Piranha249|Piranha]][[User talk:Piranha249|249]] 01:17, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
*[[User:Arne09.snap/sandbox]] – 2010 expansion of [[El Dorado]] which may be of use. – [[User:Fayenatic london|Fayenatic]] [[User talk:Fayenatic london|'''<span style="color: #FF0000;">L</span>'''ondon]] 22:55, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
*[[Draft:Ranu Mondal]]: Needs better style of writing [[User:Rocky 734|Rocky 734]] ([[User talk:Rocky 734|talk]]) 09:09, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
* [[User:Closeapple/new/List of popular non-English songs in English-speaking culture]]: Self-created, and has about a dozen major examples, but I haven't touched it since 2014. It appears to be a notable subject, regardless of size, and although "popular" is a bit subjective, bloat should be preventable by enforcing Wikipedia's general citation requirements to prove that the song was widely-recognized. Right now the external links are the sources, since I hadn't gotten very far; they should be converted to inline citations. Then the list can expand from there. (I'm OK with it staying in my userspace, or being moved to main article space, or whatever; even though I haven't worked on it recently, I don't consider it a dead-end page.) --[[User:Closeapple|Closeapple]] ([[User talk:Closeapple|talk]]) 21:22, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
*:I have moved this draft to [[Draft:List of popular non-English songs in English-speaking culture]].

** [[Draft:Burial Rites]]
** [[Draft:Untitled J.A. Bayona Sci-Fi Project]]
** [[Draft:Time's Up]]
** [[Draft:Shoot The Rooster]]
** and [[Draft:Gringa (film)]]. If you can assist in any way, please do so. [[User:Sean Stephens|Sean Stephens]] ([[User talk:Sean Stephens|talk]]) 11:07, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

|detail = The article meets the '''[[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/A-Class criteria|A-Class criteria]]''':<br/>{{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/A-Class criteria}}
|reader = Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject matter would typically find nothing wanting.

|reader = Readers are not left wanting, although the content may not be complete enough to satisfy a serious student or researcher.
|suggestion = A few aspects of content and style need to be addressed. Expert knowledge may be needed. The inclusion of supporting materials should also be considered if practical, and the article checked for general compliance with the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] and related [[:Category:Wikipedia style guidelines|style guidelines]].

|criteria = The article is substantial, but is still missing important content or contains a lot of irrelevant material. The article should have references to reliable sources, but may still have significant issues or require substantial [[Wikipedia:Cleanup|cleanup]].
|detail = The article is better developed in style, structure and quality than Start-Class, but 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 [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|bias]] or [[Wikipedia:No original research|original research]].

Quality of the prose may be distinctly unencyclopedic, and [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|MoS]] compliance non-existent; but the article should satisfy fundamental content policies such as [[Wikipedia:Notability|notability]] and [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|BLP]], and provide sources to establish [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiability]]. No Start-Class article should be in any danger of being [[Wikipedia:Speedy deletion criteria#Articles|speedily deleted]].

|reader = Different types of template serve different purposes. Infoboxes provide easy access to key pieces of information about the subject. Navboxes are for the purpose of grouping together related subjects into an easily accessible format, to assist the user in navigating between articles.
|suggestion = Infoboxes are typically placed at the upper right of an article, while navboxes normally go across the very bottom of a page. Beware of too many different templates, as well as templates that give either too little, too much, or too specialized information.
