Classification

It's probably been asked before... but why is A-Class not used by WikiProject London Transport? --Redrose64 (talk) 22:28, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

A class isn't used on this project because it is a largely redundant and anachronistic classification and isn't widely used across wikipedia as a whole. Of the more than 3.15 million wikipedia articles (at the time of writing), there are just 359 A class articles which is about 1 in 8,774. By comparison, there are 7,942 Good Articles, 2,728 Featured Articles and 1,606 Featured Lists. Many of the existing A class articles are former featured articles which have failed a featured article review and have been downgraded.

Essentially, once an article gets to GA status, the next logical step in its development is to take it to FA (although an article does not have to be GA for it to be nominated). Both GA and FA require a formal review process for the classification to be awarded but A class, which is supposed to be above GA in the classification does not.--DavidCane (talk) 23:17, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Should this article be reassessed, its current importance is low? --195.92.247.216 (talk) 09:16, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
