Prose. It features professional standards of writing.
Lead. It has an engaging
lead that introduces the subject and defines the scope and inclusion criteria.
Comprehensiveness.
(a) It comprehensively covers the defined scope, providing at least all of the major items and, where practical, a complete set of items; where appropriate, it has annotations that provide useful and appropriate information about the items.
(c) In length and/or topic, it meets all of the requirements for
stand-alone lists; does not violate the
content-forking guideline, does not largely duplicate material from another article, and could not reasonably be included as part of a related article.
Structure. It is easy to navigate and includes, where helpful,
section headings and
table sort facilities.
Style. It complies with the
Manual of Style and its supplementary pages.
(a) Visual appeal. It makes suitable use of text layout, formatting,
tables, and
colour; and a minimal proportion of items are redlinked.
Stability. It is not the subject of ongoing
edit wars and its content does not change significantly from day to day, except in response to the featured list process.
