Importance guideline

I made this little guideline trying to make it easier to classify articles but also to create a consesnsus about what is important. Please disscus this below Dentren | ^Talk 13:47, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

• Top-importance: Only things that are important for the whole of Chile for example:
  • Santiago, Chile (the capital of all of Chile), History of Chile, Geography of Chile, Chilean Peso etc.
• High-importnace: Thing that may be important for many Chileans but not all:
  • Arauco War
  • Chilean Antarctica (and dont put this under top-importance just because wikiproject Argentina did so with Argentine Antarctica.)
  • Important persons such as the current president, Pinochet, Allende, Pedro de Valdivia and Bernardo O'Higgins
  • Regions and regional Capitals
  • Important ports and tourist locations: Puerto Williams, Pucón, Talcahuano
  • Extreme points of Chile, longest river, southernmost settlement eyc.
  • Importante geographycal features: Southern Patagonian Ice Field and Chilean Coast Range
  • Very typical things such as Chilean rodeo and Pisco that are popular in most of Chile
  • Important buildings, La Moneda
  • Nationwide political parties & coalitions
• Mid-importance:
  • Provinces and provincial capitals
  • heads of state, social leaders, generals
  • National Parks
  • Television channels of Chile
  • Battles
  • Regional Political parties
• Low-importance:
  • Comunes and municipalities
  • Naval Ships of Chile (except some famous ships such as esmeralda and covadonga)
  • Minor rivers and mountains

Discussing the guideline

I'd like to make the suggestion that the importance criteria be grouped according to topic first and then within the topic, the different importance criterias be specified. I think this would make it easier for people to refer to. An example of this can be seen here in the Wikiproject Rugby. For example:

Politics

Top

• Politics of Chile

High

• Nationwide political parties & coalitions
• Senators & deputies
• Ministers
• Presidential candidates representing nationwide coalitions

Mid

• Regional political parties & coalitions
• Mayors
• Ministerial Under-secretaries
• Nationwide party leaders

Low

• City council members

This is just an example. People may disagree with some of what I put here, but then in this format, it would be easier to discuss and come to a consensus.GringoInChile (talk) 17:14, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
