Looking at stubs in the specific works of art. This one sports unimpressive just 7 interwikis, and 22 daily views. The painter is which may or may not be too much (he is no  IMHO), but even if one disagrees about the creator's fame and my view that they perhaps should not be V4, there is nothing in the article that tells us why this particular work would be vital. Reading through the bio of the painter it seems that there there are many more famous works of his which are not vital and we we could consider for swap or later addition, ex. (12 interwikis, 76 daily views). For now I am proposing just a removal, not swap, however, but if someone feels HdTL needs a V5 work, feel free to propose adding AtMR or vote for swap here. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:38, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Clean up genras: move and or something else?
I would like to move it from Visual arts->Concepts and forms (99/100 articles) where it is a subarticle of retro style to Speculative fiction (9 articles) section on that page, where I'd expect to find it in the same place, next to. Per prior discussions and my understanding, we don't have to vote on this unless there are any objectins? If there'll be none I'll boldly move this over the next few days. The only problem is that it will affect quotas (minus one for Visual arts (498/500 articles), plus one Literature (1,002/985 articles).). Thing is, that speculative fiction already lists Cyberpunk, Time travel and Teleportation, which just like steampunk are not only about literature. Any suggestions about a better place to stick those concepts (multi-media genras) would be welcome. The concept of is all the way at Vital_articles/Level/5/Society_and_social_sciences/Culture with a single subarticle Western (genre), which is conceptually at the same level as cyberunk and steapunk. It's a bit of a mess... Should we also move genre and western back to arts subpage? Maybe stick it and those general subgenras under Arts->General (5 articles) for now? The nice part of that idea is that general heading has no quota :P --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:31, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

is level 3 and deserves at least 1 representative. NYPD (40 interwikis, 1800 daily views) is probably the most iconic and has its own list of cultural representations that span media works produced in multiple continents: List of fictional portrayals of the NYPD. Similarly, Scotland Yard (48 interwikis, 1300 daily views) is also globally known for being a staple in Sherlock Holmes books and works of Victorian literature (Scotland Yard is the name of the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police but the Metropolitan Police is significantly less well-known as an entity). Politics and Economics is overquota so I suggest a swap with College of Justice (3 interwikis, 15 daily views) which is the supreme court system of Scotland. We already have (4 interwikis, 44 daily views) which is the primary civil court within that system; we don't need 2 court entries for Scotland (in fact, I don't think they even need one but that's an argument for another day).

The fact that Roman à clef still has more page views than Space opera (24k vs 16k in the last 20 days, 342k vs 294k last year) despite its poorer-quality article is an indicator of how important the topic is.
 * Also, age and gender: Roman à clef was created in the 17th century versus the 1930s for Space opera; and Roman à clef was created by Madeleine de Scudéry allowing it to provide some female representation to literary genres. feminist🇭🇰🇺🇦 (talk) 02:18, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

The other entry listed under "internet meme", this is more of an interesting case, due to the controversies surrounding its co-option by the alt-right.

Do something with
Right, I know, that's weird. We can move, remove, swap or replace. Let me discuss this, acknowledging MOOCs are probably a V5 thing. First, it is weird to see this at Internet medium section, so my first thought was to move it up to Education - but that section is at ~350/300 in quota, sigh. (Frankly, I'd like to see that quota increased but that's for later). Still, move at least would make MOOC be together with other ideas. Remove logic is simple - it is in overquota section now and belongs in a section that is even more over quota. For swap, well, is not vital yet and it is obvious we should add the basic concept of a course before we consider the vitality of MOOCs... that said, having no course entry on vital list makes me fear that the education section might be missing more vital concepts (yet it is already way over quota???). Anyway, let's vote:

Demographics isn't the sole criteria, both the Swedish soft, hard, and smart power are way, way higher than Bangladesh and as so they can exerce more power globally. Not to mention that the state of Sweden has a long history and its politics were thus important at those times, on the contrary, from my understanding, Bangladesh has no any direct predecessor.

Cleanup up education (increase quota?)
Right now Vital articles/Level/5/Society and social sciences/Culture has a problem: "This section contains 350 articles out of a quota of 305.". A quick glance shows that this problem is made up of two issues: first, majority of the quota for that section is eaten by individual educational institutions (259 articles for schools - mostly universities - plus 22 libraries). That leaves us with 69 general education topics, and that's not enough. Just above I proposed adding and elsewhere on the page here I proposed moving  to that section. A quick and dirty look at some basic educational concepts reveals what I think are glaring omissions in our coverage - the following concepts are not listed:, , , , , ... I am sure we could find more. So bottom line is that this section either needs a quota increase (probably +100) or major pruning. Realistically we can either give it more quota from somewhere, or we should gut the institutions (by half) and after kicking ~100 of not very important universities we can add some basic education topics. I'll propose ideas below.--<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:32, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Adjust education subsection quotas (currently not specified outside 305 total:
 * Proposal 1
 * Education: General - right now has 69 articles. Set quota to 100.
 * Libraries - right now has 22 articles. Set quota to 20 (there are 8 start class articles here...).
 * Educational institutions - right now has 269 articles. Set quota to 185 (then prune - there is plenty of start-class universities that nobody outside their countries has even heard about. Plus the usual bias with some weird outliers - Australia gets 8 entres, Japan 13, Sweden 3, the entire Eastern Europe gets 4.).

There are only 15 companies on Earth that can claim this. They own so much of the world's global Internet infrastructure. Aurangzebra (talk) 08:18, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Add International Women's Day
With over a century of history, International Women's Day has become a massive event throughout the globe, as a way for women to celebrate and organise themselves. From the days of first wave feminism, when it was the catalyst for the Russian Revolution, to second-wave feminism, when it was adopted by the United Nations, to today, it has been a very important day in the year for women. It is an official holiday in much of the second world and an unofficial holiday in many other parts. The article itself has 123 interwikis, averages 1,320 daily page views, and is on the front page every year. --Grnrchst (talk) 17:01, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Add Internet celebrity, Remove Virtual influencer
I wanted to add influencer but it redirects to Internet celebrity which is also fine. We list a more niche subtype of Internet celebrity/influencer, but we don't list the much more notable parent. Definitely notable considering that fact 86% of young Americans want to become influencers and I assume this extends globally with the prevalence of Youtube and Tiktok. There were discussions above to remove virtual influencer which I completely agree with: it really hasn't achieved that much global notability outside of its relatively small community. It also only has 2 interwikis compared to Internet celebrity's 26. Originally intended as a swap for virtual influencer when it looked like the proposal for the swap for Vtuber wouldn't pass but now this is just a raw addition.

Swap for Hainish Cycle or The Left Hand of Darkness
SF novel. The Dispossessed is an important novel by Le Guin but I'd say The Left Hand of Darkness is more significant. I'd suggest swapping TD for either TLHoD or the cycle it is part of. TLHoD has more interwikis (28:21) and more page views (800:650). The cycle has less, but it is a parent concept. I'll also ping User:TompaDompa whom I consider an expert in sci-fi topics.

Airline removals
The Politics and economics section of V5 is currently over quota (1857/1600), and transport is way overrepresented in that list relative to their significance. Airlines move people and cargo, and different airlines mostly operate in different markets, but other than that, they really are quite similar. They operate the same planes, adhere to the same industry standards, use similar reservation systems, etc. There is not that much reader value in listing so many separate airlines – and I say this as someone who takes a casual interest in commercial aviation. feminist🇭🇰🇺🇦 (talk) 16:37, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

That secion seems to suffer from major systemic bias. listing American TV networks (15), Australian TV networks (2), British TV networks (2), German TV networks (3) and Russian TV networks (4). That said, we also have to deal with the quota (for TV: This section contains 373 articles out of a quota of 260.). Sigh. So we are way over quota, and we are way too US/English-centric. Before I'd even suggest a Polish station to add, I think we obviously need some Chinese, Japanese, French, Spanish, Italian... etc. But how to deal with making this more balanced with the current quota, I am unsure.
