what defines low importance? 192.195.66.5 (talk)
 * It appears to have been used in combination with other categories, to rate articles by importance in their field, e.g. Category:Low-importance Agriculture articles. See Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Release_Version_Criteria -- Seelefant (talk) 06:58, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
 * It is a rating given by a Wikiproject and is valid for that Wikiproject. The same article can have different ratings for different projects, and all can be equally valid. For example Underwater diving is a top importance article in WikiProject Underwater diving as one might expect, but is rated mid importance for Wikiproject Occupational safety and health, because it is a hazardous occupation amongst many other hazardous occupations, and low importance for WikiProject Oceans, for reasons best known to the members of that project. It does not even have an importance for most projects. This is all perfectly appropriate. It has no bearing on the value to the reader. As it happens, Underwater diving is also a level 4 vital article, which is an assessment of its probable value to readers.
