User:TheDarkness909/Article Criteria

When an article fails to meet a certain criteria that makes it a real article, it should be either marked for deletion or otherwise modified.

So here's my basis for what articles are good. Also note, this is not the official criteria.

If you want to contribute, please let me know!
