Quality scale

edit

Note: A B-class article should have at least one reference.

Importance scale

edit

The criteria used for rating article importance are not meant to be an absolute or canonical view of how significant the topic is. Rather, they attempt to gauge the probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it). Thus, subjects with greater popular notability may be rated higher than topics which are arguably more "important" but which are of interest primarily to students of hagiography. Importance does not equate to quality; a featured article could rate 'mid' on importance.

Note that general notability need not be from the perspective of editor demographics; generally notable topics should be rated similarly regardless of the country or region in which they hold said notability. Thus, topics which may seem obscure to a Western audience—but which are of high notability in other places—should still be highly rated. Rate international region/country-specific articles from the prespective of someone from that region.

Top Subject is a must-have for a print encyclopedia
High Subject contributes a depth of knowledge
Mid Subject fills in more minor details
Low Subject is mainly of specialist interest.
NA Subject is a disambiguation or redirect page, residing in article space and thus does not require an importance assessment.
NBL Canada WikiProject article importance grading scheme
Label Criteria Reader's experience Editor's experience Examples
Top General articles:
Reserved exclusively for articles that are vital to the understanding of the National Basketball League of Canada. This should include any articles or lists on the general topic of the league, articles on current top franchises with multiple NBL Canada championships, and articles that cover topics that are central to the history of the league.
These will be the most likely reader entry points to the subject. If articles covering these subjects did not exist, they would need to be created. National Basketball League of Canada, Mississauga Power, Windsor Express, NBL Canada Finals, NBL Canada draft
Biographic articles:
Reserved exclusively for biographic articles covering persons who are vital to the understanding of the National Basketball League of Canada. This will include articles on league founders and notable franchise owners; successful, head coaches, particularly noteworthy players, and any other personnel who are central to the league's history.
Andre Levingston
High General articles:
Articles that fall just short of being vital in the understanding of the subject as a whole. This should include articles on individual league seasons; articles on individual Finals, Playoffs and Playoff games, other franchises, defunct franchises and general articles on topics central to the league.
Most readers would quickly notice the omission of any of these articles. These articles are probably among the most actively edited articles in the project. 2015 NBL Canada Finals
Biographic articles:
This classification should include articles on players who were among the very best. This would include players who won an NBL Canada Most Valuable Player Award, voted multiple 1st-team All-NBL Canada or selected to multiple All-Star roster. Coaches include those who have coached a championship should also be included.
Bill Jones, Brandon Robinson, Anthony Anderson
Mid General articles:
The article covers a topic that has a strong but not vital role in a thorough understanding of the National Basketball League of Canada. This group will include articles on the history of individual franchises; articles on seasons of individual teams that fall short of "High" importance criteria; articles on individual NBL Canada drafts, All-Star games and articles on current and former arenas which were used by an NBL Canada team for multiple seasons.
Many readers will be familiar with the topic being discussed, but a larger majority of readers may have only cursory knowledge of the overall subject. Articles at this level will cover subjects that are well known but not necessarily vital to understand the subject.
Biographic articles:
This should include players who made at least one All-Star roster; been named to at least one All-NBL Canada or All-Defence team; won one of Finals MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, Canadian of the Year, Rookie of the Year or Sixth Man of the Year awards; or was a top-3 NBL Canada Draft selection. This also includes head coaches who won Coach of the Year or coached an All-Star Game who aren't included above.
Joe Salerno, Stefan Bonneau, Rashad Whack
Low General articles:
The article is not required knowledge for a broad understanding of the topic, but may cover topics directly or indirectly related to it. This category will included articles on individual games and individual plays.
Few readers outside of the topic area may be familiar with the subject matter. It is likely that the reader does not know anything at all about the subject before reading the article. Articles at this range of importance will often delve into the minutiae of the league.
Biographic articles:
This should include players who made only minor contributions in the league or none at all; who never made All-Star or won major awards. This category will also include coaches with two or fewer seasons and team mascots.
Tyrone Garland, Mike Allison, Ken Murray
