I chose it because Baudrillard is a preferred author of mine, it matters due to his significance in 21st century philosophy, and my preliminary impression is that it is a very well made article.

Evaluate the article
Lead section The lead section is concise and gives the reader a very brief and accurate overview of the person, their works in their field(s), and contributions

Content A good Wikipedia article should cover all the important aspects of a topic, without putting too much weight on one part while neglecting another.

the article is neutrally written, current, and does not contain misc. information that is not pertinent to the article. The article does not directly address things related to underrepresented populations but for an article of a philosopher apart of the western establishment of academia it seems to not diminish or remove importance from anything. His work is popular amongst writers and philosophers of marginalized groups and that is shown, but it should be in more detail.

Is the article neutral? The neutrality of the article remains clear and quotes from people who may have a bias are treated with heavy removal from the articles voice, such as criticisms or value statements. No viewpoint is given undue attention or too little attention.

Source and references The sources are current, accurate, validated and reliable, with functional links.

Organization and writing quality

No grammatical errors, clear writing that conveys the topics easily.

Images and Media The images are great aid to the topic, follow copyright law, and are well captioned.

Talk page discussion

The article's talk page — and any discussions among other Wikipedia editors that have been taking place there — can be a useful window into the state of an article, and might help you focus on important aspects that you didn't think of.

The talk page is extensive and lively, with a level 5 vital article rating. It is apart of numerous wikiprojects, notably,wikiproject philosophy, wikiproject france, and wikiproject biography science and academia. The contents of the talk page are debates of the meaning of his texts, interviews, and quotes and their true meaning and how to place it into the article.

Overall impressions

the article is at a highly satisfactory length and goes into each topic into detail, save for the section on his influence in legacy which is severely lacking due to his mark that he left on 21st century philosophy.
