The criteria used for rating article importance are not meant to be an absolute or canonical view of how significant the topic is. Rather, they attempt to gauge the probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it). Thus, subjects with greater popular notability may be rated higher than topics which are arguably more "important" but which are of interest primarily to students of Minnesota.
Label | Criteria | Examples | ||
Places | Things | People | ||
Top | Subject is a "core" or "key" topic for Minnesota, or is generally notable to people other than residents of Minnesota. They define and determine the subject of the Minnesota WikiProject. | Minnesota | University of Minnesota | Prince (musician) |
High | Subject is notable in a significant and important way within the field of Minnesota, but not necessarily outside it. | Bloomington, Minnesota | I-35W Mississippi River bridge | Amy Klobuchar |
Mid | Subject contributes to the total subject of the Minnesota WikiProject. Subject may not necessarily be famous. | Apple Valley, Minnesota | Breck School | Ilhan Omar |
Low | Subject is not particularly notable or significant even within the field of Minnesota, and may have been included primarily to achieve comprehensive coverage of another topic. | Climax, Minnesota | Baldwin Lake | Charlemagne Tower |
