Wikipedia:Deletion to Quality Award

The Deletion to Quality Award (or WP:DQUAL for short) recognizes editors who bring one of Wikipedia's articles from a candidate for deletion at a prior deletion debate to good article (GA) or featured article (FA) status (and featured list). The award has two primary goals:


 * 1) to recognize editors who improve articles to good article (GA) or featured article (FA) statusfeatured list (FL) is also included;
 * 2) to encourage all Wikipedians to engage in quality-improvement.

The award is inspired by the Million Award, the Article Rescue Squadron, and the WikiProject Quality Article Improvement.

Qualifying articles

 * Any article previously a candidate for deletion at a prior deletion debate that the editor helped significantly improve to good article (GA) or featured article (FA) status; featured list (FL) is included, as well.

The Deletion to Quality Award is intended only for editors, and confers no special status on the article itself.

Note: Editors that may be candidates for the Deletion to Quality Award, can be seen by checking the nominations pages from this category: Category:Deletion to Quality Award candidates.

Tiers
Two tiers of the Deletion to Quality Award exist:


 * The Deletion to GA Award - Awarded for bringing an article previously a candidate for deletion to good article status;
 * The Deletion to FA Award - Awarded for bringing an article previously a candidate for deletion to featured article status; deletion to FL would count within this tier as well.
