Importance guideline[edit]

I made this little guideline trying to make it easier to classify articles but also to create a consesnsus about what is important. Please disscus this below Dentren | ^Talk 13:47, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Top-importance: Only things that are important for the whole of Chile for example:
- Santiago, Chile (the capital of all of Chile), History of Chile, Geography of Chile, Chilean Peso etc.
High-importnace: Thing that may be important for many Chileans but not all:
- Arauco War
- Chilean Antarctica (and dont put this under top-importance just because wikiproject Argentina did so with Argentine Antarctica.)
- Important persons such as the current president, Pinochet, Allende, Pedro de Valdivia and Bernardo O'Higgins
- Regions and regional Capitals
- Important ports and tourist locations: Puerto Williams, Pucón, Talcahuano
- Extreme points of Chile, longest river, southernmost settlement eyc.
- Importante geographycal features: Southern Patagonian Ice Field and Chilean Coast Range
- Very typical things such as Chilean rodeo and Pisco that are popular in most of Chile
- Important buildings, La Moneda
- Nationwide political parties & coalitions
Mid-importance:
- Provinces and provincial capitals
- heads of state, social leaders, generals
- National Parks
- Television channels of Chile
- Battles
- Regional Political parties
Low-importance:
- Comunes and municipalities
- Naval Ships of Chile (except some famous ships such as esmeralda and covadonga)
- Minor rivers and mountains

Discussing the guideline[edit]

I'd like to make the suggestion that the importance criteria be grouped according to topic first and then within the topic, the different importance criterias be specified. I think this would make it easier for people to refer to. An example of this can be seen here in the Wikiproject Rugby. For example:

Politics

Top

Politics of Chile

High

Nationwide political parties & coalitions
Senators & deputies
Ministers
Presidential candidates representing nationwide coalitions

Mid

Regional political parties & coalitions
Mayors
Ministerial Under-secretaries
Nationwide party leaders

Low

City council members

This is just an example. People may disagree with some of what I put here, but then in this format, it would be easier to discuss and come to a consensus.GringoInChile (talk) 17:14, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
