User:SethAllen623/Vital articles/Level/5

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

This is a list of articles which I feel actually deserve a place in the English Wikipedia. My list is based on Wikipedia:Vital articles/Level/5, but with the article count doubled to one that most people have never heard of: 100,000 articles! This list is intended to account for approximately one percent of the English Wikipedia's total content. If I were to strip Wikipedia of all unnecessary content while still leaving it as a high-quality encyclopedia, I would only leave the articles listed in this page's many sublists. This is a work in progress and will take a very long time to complete, as my process of creating this list will depend on analyzing every Wikipedia article relevant to each of the sublists, and the notability of the topics covered by such articles. This Vital Articles list also has four other levels designed to arrange topics by their vitality.


Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Level 4     Level 5
