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/4, but with the article count doubled to 20,000 articles. 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
