User:Lincher/Good article establishment

This page is intended to stir discussion on a controversial subject that is good articles. The current proposal is to promote the idea that the good articles process is as much a step in the article creation as featured articles currently are.

Outcome of proposal

edit

Good article use

edit
  • It can serve as a review of articles when people failing give sufficient reasons.
  • It can serve as a second peer review.
  • It can be the outline of an article that will become a featured article.
  • It can be seen as work complying to all of wikipedias policies when people see the plus sign in the corner.

Good article criticism

edit
  • People don't see GAs in a good light.
  • People don't like the GA plus sign in the right most corner because it was an undiscussed idea, votes resulted in revoking the idea.
    See GA dispute #1 which resulted in a deletion
    GA Deletion review[1] resulted in an Endorse closure.
  • The project is not well-known or appreciated.
