Template:B-Class[change]
† ChristianMan16 has nominated this page for deletion for the reason:
- We do Not classify/grade articles.
Please discuss this deletion below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options that are not just "keep" or "delete", such as merging.
Discussion[change]
- File:Symbol keep vote.svg Keep - My theory is that prehaps we should start classifying articles Stub > B (i.e. not a stub) > GA > VGA. This could possibly work in conjunction with WikiProject Collaboration... incidentally, how many users does it need to become WP namespace? Anyway, you may want to salt the page if you are going to delete, as it is a page that will be recreated. 16:48, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- File:Symbol keep vote.svg Keep I agree with Microchip08, it would be good to have more classification levels. - tholly --Turnip-- 07:31, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- Delete I do like the idea of grading systems, but there is no need for this type of template really. And even if there was, I don't think B would be the appropriate name for that level since there is no A level class. Besides it can be easily recreated when/if we do actually come up with a grading system. -Djsasso (talk) 20:34, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- Why not? It fits in with what EN-WP has to say, which makes it easier for transwiki users to understand. Microchip 16:03, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- But this has NOTHING to do with en this has to do with Simple.-- † ChristianMan16 17:50, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

- We haven't established a grading system yet (and there hasn't really been much discussion or consensus on one). Until then, delete.--TBC 13:44, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- Delete - With the current number of active editors here, setting up a grading system is going to kill us all due to lack of people. (33,000 articles:40+ users?) Chenzw Talk 13:49, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- delete - We do have GA and VGA; no one has any idea what a B-class article really is; if we really want finer control than stub-normal article-GA-VGA we should discuss first, and act later. Until we have really decided to go down that route, there is no need for this template. Once a decision is reached it is easy to re-create.--Eptalon (talk) 13:54, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- How about we just rename it a Start class article? So there'd be a Stub class, Start class, Good article class, and Very good article class. That explains it pretty well - Stub is a short article, Start is an alright article that's too long to be a stub, but not good enough to be a Good article, and then we have GA and VGA. - A Link to the Past (talk) 03:49, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- No offense intended nor is any hostility that you sense, A Link To The Past, but I don't think you get it....We don't classify articles here...as of now that is.-- † ChristianMan16 07:00, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
- Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 4; by default (nothing specified, it is class 2. What we actually name those classes is irrelevant.--Eptalon (talk) 08:13, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
- Then what are we doing with Stub, GA, and VGA? We're classing them right there. Basically, we class for Good articles, Very Good articles, and Short articles, but not Okay articles - the logical midpoint for articles between stub and Good. - A Link to the Past (talk) 20:49, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

- Delete Classification on en started due to assessing articles for the mythical WP:1.0 project, or the earlier 0.5 and 0.7 versions. Simple English is not going on any CDs any time soon, we have no need for it. Cassandra 07:28, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
- Delete I think in VGA, GA, normal article, and stub we already have a reasonable enough set of classifications. Hippopotamus (talk) 19:43, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
Outcome[change]
- Consensus appears to be delete, (6 deletes, 3 keeps), though with the possibility of being recreated if there's some consensus on WP:ST over starting a grading system. But until then: The outcome of this request for deletion was to File:Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. --TBC 09:05, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
