Introduction[edit]

The purpose of this discussion page is to manage the Level 2 list of 100 topics for which Wikipedia should have high-quality articles (e.g. at WP:FA and WP:GA status). Since changes to this list affect lower-level lists, discussions regarding its composition are best initiated at Wikipedia talk:Vital articles.

All Level 2 nominations must be of an article already listed at level 3.

All proposals must remain open for !voting for a minimum of 15 days, after which:

  1. After 15 days it may be closed as PASSED if there are (a) 5 or more supports, AND (b) at least two-thirds are in support.
  2. After 30 days it may be closed as FAILED if there are (a) 3 or more opposes, AND (b) it failed to earn two-thirds support.
  3. After 30 days it may be closed as NO CONSENSUS if the proposal hasn't received any !votes for +30 days, regardless of tally.
  4. After 60 days it may be closed as NO CONSENSUS if the proposal has (a) less than 5 supports, AND (b) less than two-thirds support.

Nominations should be left open beyond the minimum if they have a reasonable chance of passing. An informed discussion with more editor participation produces an improved and more stable final list, so be patient with the process.

For reference, the following times apply for today:

  • 15 days ago was: 01:06, 25 June 2024 (UTC) (Purge)
  • 30 days ago was: 01:06, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Religion is society, not philosophy[edit]

Religion does not cease to be society in the same way that Carl Jung in psychology was not secular. 2804:14C:5BB1:9473:DA5F:6D5:B57F:E92A (talk) 18:24, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add Film  3[edit]

I know it's a fairly recent industry, but Computer  2 is V2 and we're trying to promote Climate change  3. There's also no strong consensus over whether to keep its history at V3 (currently 3-4), and having the history of a topic at the same level as said topic is often frowned upon. I'll oppose for now.

Oppose
  1. As nom. Vileplume 🍋‍🟩 (talk) 22:12, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Per nom. Don't think that Film has been as individually impactful as Book  2 or Computer  2. Aszx5000 (talk) 12:16, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

What sense of urgency could there possibly be to close a poorly attended VA2 discussion that has only been open for a month? J947 ‡ edits 23:11, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted the close and commented. Interstellarity (talk) 23:29, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Moon isn't quite as important as the sun or earth. Level 3 is best for this article. Interstellarity (talk) 20:09, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  2. Having thought about this, I agree. We have Universe  2, Solar System  2 and Earth  1 and Sun  2, which is enough. I know that without the Moon  2 the earth would crash into the Sun, but other planets would have a similar effect only over a longer time. Aszx5000 (talk) 12:15, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Not without a replacement, level 2 is at quota.--LaukkuTheGreit (Talk•Contribs) 17:06, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Very good point. One option is Drug  3, a Level 3 "head list" that is not represented at Level 2, and drugs (with Medicine) have had a massive impact on Humanity (more than the Moon  2, notwithstanding that if we had no Moon we would probably crash into the Sun  2). Another option that I feel will be at Level 2, but maybe not for now, is Artificial intelligence  3, which is also at Level 3 under Computer  2, but probably destined for its own seperate category.

    Intelligence  3 is only level 3; how could AI be level 2? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:03, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Maybe I have sublimely stumbled onto the core test for humanity :) Aszx5000 (talk) 20:14, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  2. The moon is essential to the survival of Earth in several ways. It regulates ocean tides, provides a more stable climate, and controls the length of the day. The moon has also played a major role in culture, politics, and various aspects of human life throughout history. For that, strong oppose- The Blue Rider 16:16, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose per above. --Thi (talk) 22:44, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
