Introduction

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:

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.

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)

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

Swap Sport  2 with Play (activity)  3

Play is an activity that is much less formal then sport, but engaged in by all as both entertainment and a way of learning. Play is not exclusive to humans, and is a higher category then sport, which is a form of highly structured play. GeogSage ^{(⚔Chat?⚔)} 23:48, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

1. There's not too much difference between play and Entertainment, which is already listed as the broadest container in this area. Sport is important enough to include as a subtopic at this level, so I don't think it'd be an improvement to try to zoom out to play. Sdkb ^talk 00:23, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
