This level has representatives of Italian, German and English Baroque, but not French Baroque music. In the court of Louis XIV, he controlled French cour music and his style of composition was imitated throughout Europe. Lully was the first important modern conductor, he set the foundation of French opera, in his ballets he introduced new dances, such as minuet, and his style influenced other Baroque composers, like J. S. Bach. Lully collaborated with Molière to produce comedy ballets and he wrote also sacred music. "Later French musicians were influenced by his forms - particularly the five-act grand opera - for more than two centuries, and closer to his own time, the so-called 'French style' became an almost universal way of writing for later composers from England and Spain to Italy and Germany."

Currently, the rule states,
- After 15 days any proposal may be closed as PASSED if a) at least five !votes have been cast in support, and b) at least two-thirds of the total !votes support the proposal.
- After 30 days any proposal may be closed as FAILED if it has a) earned at least 3 opposes, and b) failed to earn two-thirds support.
- After 30 days any proposal may be closed as NO CONSENSUS if the proposal hasn't received any !votes for 30 or more days regardless of the !vote tally.
- After 60 days any proposal may be closed as NO CONSENSUS if it has a) failed to earn at least 5 support !votes, and b) earned less than two-thirds support.
However, getting 5 support or 3 oppose seems rather difficult at this level, due to fewer attentions this level is getting, thus, I propose that, for level 4, the criteria should be changed to as follow:
- After 30 days any proposal may be closed as PASSED if a) at least 4 !votes have been cast in support, and b) at least two-thirds of the total !votes support the proposal.
- After 60 days any proposal may be closed as FAILED if it has a) earned at least 2 opposes, and b) failed to earn two-thirds support.
- After 60 days any proposal may be closed as NO CONSENSUS if the proposal hasn't received any !votes for 60 or more days regardless of the !vote tally.
- After 90 days any proposal may be closed as NO CONSENSUS if it has a) failed to earn at least 4 support !votes, and b) earned less than two-thirds support.

Suggested as I see recent writers such as Margaret Atwood and Ursula K. Le Guin included. Le Guin is described as the "greatest American writer of her generation". O'Brien has endorsements such as ""the most gifted woman now writing in English", greatest writer alive/greatest writer of her generation from people like Michael Ondaatje and Philip Roth, which shows her international reach and her appeal to male as well as female readers.

We are over quota. I've never heard of this novel or author, not that I'm an avid reader, but if you truly feel this should be added, it'd be best to propose a swap. LightProof1995 (talk) 20:11, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

The fact that he is considered to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time makes him vital at this level, since a lot of people watching such games, and a person who is a/the greatest player of a particular vital sport makes him vital at this level.

As the first male single skater to complete the Super Slam and the first in 66 years to win back-to-back Olympic gold, an elevation of Yuzuru Hanyu's biography to level 5 category of vital articles is long overdue (see previous nomination). In addition, he has become the first to launch a career as a solo show skater. His scheduled 2.5 hour show at the Tokyo Dome with 55K capacity is an unprecedented milestone, elevating figure skating as a performing art to the caliber of a major solo pop rock concert, which was long considered unthinkable. According to the latest publication by Google Search, he is ranked 6th in the list of most-searched athletes in 2022 worldwide, and also 7th among most-searched people in Japan. Together with his long list of firsts, achievements, and accolades, this should make his biography article qualify for level 4.

We have many cathedrals listed as Vital-5 to the point there is great Western bias. I plan on proposing some be swapped with other structures at Vital-5, however I'm starting here at Vital-4.
I am certain Chartres Cathedral should not be listed here over the Cologne Cathedral or the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba, which are both only level-5.
I am also fairly certain it does not deserve to be listed here over the Lincoln Cathedral (Tallest building in the world for over 200 years), the Seville Cathedral (Known for La Giralda), or the Aachen Cathedral (Coronation site of Holy Roman emperors, one of the oldest cathedrals in Europe), none of which are even listed at Vital-5. I personally think Aachen Cathedral is a better fit at Vital-5 over the Cologne Cathedral even, although that is more debatable.
The Notre Dame Cathedral is the only French cathedral we need at Vital-4. We are also over quota -- I'm proposing a removal, with nothing swapped in.

He's not all that significant in Chinese history. He was one of the most corrupt officials in all of Chinese history, but that doesn't seem nearly enough for being a level-4 vital article, so we should demote him to level-5.

Extremely important in Chinese literature, and arguably just as important as Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which are both listed. David Tod Roy calls the novel "a landmark in the development of the narrative art form—not only from a specifically Chinese perspective but in a world-historical context...noted for its surprisingly modern technique" and "with the possible exception of The Tale of Genji and Don Quixote, there is no earlier work of prose fiction of equal sophistication in world literature."

The only Walt Disney character we should have listed at this level is Mickey Mouse. Donald Duck is completely redundant to be listed here when we are over quota, and does not deserve to be on this list over Godzilla, Luke Skywalker, or SpongeBob SquarePants under Fictional characters/Film, television, and games. (Not that I'm suggesting we swap any of them in -- we need to take articles out to get the list back down to 10,000.)
Support:
Before Homer Simpson, there was Donald Duck. Donald is more popular character in Europe than Mickey and the most published comic book character in the world outside of the superhero genre. Carl Barks is one of the most appreciated comics artists. Nevertheless, It is up to you to decide if the article is really needed at this level. --Thi (talk) 09:17, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
I wasn’t proposing to swap anyone in. I was only proposing a straight-up removal since we are over quota. Donald’s star and relative popularity to Mickey in other countries are irrelevant since Mickey also has a star and is the most popular character in English-speaking countries and this is English Wikipedia. If Swedish Wikipedia wants to keep Donald Duck, that makes sense, but I don’t think he belongs here. LightProof1995 (talk) 15:56, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Peking University's influence is on par with any Ivy League university in the US, and, within the last few decades at least, has been considered one of the best in the world. Tsinghua University is already level 4. In general, this page needs more representation from non-American universities, which make up over 1/3 of level 4 university articles. Normsupon (talk) 03:29, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
If we are going to add this, we probably should also remove several American universities (Do we really need 3 in California? Maybe we can remove Ivy League as well? Not UVA because of their legendary Division of Perceptual Studies), and we should also consider adding Seoul National University. LightProof1995 (talk) 20:23, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

The University of Virginia is not nearly important enough to be a Level-4, so we should demote it to Level-5. Currently, the educational institutions section has a very bad American bias, so this should help with that. Mucube (talk) 04:51, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
@LightProof1995: Yes, I know that. The reason that you gave for including UVA is that they have a "legendary Division of Perceptual Studies", which is not a good enough reason. UVA isn't a very good or significant university, compared all of the other universities that are listed. Mucube (talk) 17:55, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

I propose we move Freestyle wrestling and Greco-Roman wrestling down to Vital-5, as they are redundant with Wrestling, and swap in Brazilian jiu-jitsu in as Vital-4. I feel I would want to know BJJ out of the ones not listed as Vital-4, due to BJJ being the only martial art not listed among the three that inspired Mixed martial arts (the others being Muay Thai and Boxing -- MMA itself is also listed). The two-for-one swap is because we are above quota.

While Kung fu, Wushu, and Chinese martial arts have all been used synonymously, Chinese martial arts is the article that is the main heading for the term in Vital-5. It also gets the most view counts of the three, but just barely, at around 22,000 vs around 20,000 for kung fu and around 17,000 for wushu.

The concept itself was never really important in Chinese history. To quote the article: "The system did not factor in all social groups present in premodern Chinese society, and its broad categories were more an idealization than a practical reality." And: "The commercialization of Chinese society in the Song and Ming periods further blurred the lines between these four occupations." Mucube (talk) 05:18, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

The words Heathland and Moorland are are both words describing acidic-soil, low vegetation shrublands (lowland and upland, respectively), but the term Shrubland is much more broad, and encompasses biomes such as the Chaparral in California, Fynbos in South Africa, and the Deserts and xeric shrublands biome which according to the map at the Soil pH article page, all don't have acidic soils making them neither heathlands nor moorlands (especially the Deserts and xeric shrublands one).

Sorry CalTech, but per the discussions above on Adding Peking University and Removing UVA, we don't need 3 universities in California listed as Vital-4. Stanford has 117,733 view counts, and UC Berkeley has 83,938 view counts, but Cal Tech has 35,220 view counts in the past 30 days. I admit Cal Tech is an impressive university but we have to reduce both the quota and Western bias.
Number of Nobel Prize winners has been brought up before as an indicator of an impressive university. Cal Tech has less than both the other universities in California, although it is still a great #7 in the US: https://www.bestmastersprograms.org/most-nobel-prize-winners/ One could argue it stands out from the other California universities by being a tech school, but we have MIT, and according to this list: https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/engineering CalTech is ranked #87 in the world for engineering, compared to MIT at #4, Stanford at #9, and UC Berkeley at #11.

Not sure we have room for Actors/Actress with so limited fame. We already have Bernadth who represent pre film era. I always was saying that sport is even more overrepresented than film/actors/actress but now I found we have ana actress which is nowhere near as famous as the most hearable soccer player from 19th centrury which is not (rightly) at the level 5 Santiago Bernabéu (footballer) has better stats and I would not nominate him to the level 4, I only point him to show how Ellen Terry does not fit at this level among actress like Bernhardt, Hepburn, Monroe.

It would be strange to have as many racing drivers as American Football people given how not global is Grindon sport.... but I am rather on the point thet we also sh0uld reduce GRindon to 1 people on the list as well as Rugby Union and Field Hockey.

This is hardly a level-4 topic: this is just a not particularly well-defined modern conception. In the Middle Ages, the guiding principle was Cuius regio, eius religio and the concept of state religion, per se, did not exist. States have supported and sponsored religions to varying degrees over the millenia, and there is no particular reason to elevate the specific philosophical concept of "state religion" to the level of other level-4 concepts in religion, such as "temple" and "priest", which are far more fundamental terms/ideas. Level-5 would be more fitting. Iskandar323 (talk) 08:57, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Extremely important in Chinese philosophical history. It dominated most philosophical thought from the Song to Ming dynasties.

I have grouped the three Association Football proposals under a single heading.
There are currently 14 association football Level 4s, out of 96 Sports People in Level 4. It breaks into one female player Mia Hamm (I think Marta (footballer) is unambiguously the best female player), one goalkeeper Lev Yashin (yes is the best, and worth separating out as goalkeepers are not always treated consistently in top 100 lists). That leaves us with 12 male players currently at Level 4.
There are lots of established lists of the top 100 male players of all time (I won't list them here), but generally, they do reconcile closely with 10 of these 12 male players in our Level 4 list:
There is more variation for the top 11-15, but it definitely includes Roberto Baggio (the candidate most likely to feature in a top 10 list that is not in our Level 4). After Baggio, Gerd Müller and Garrincha feature a lot in the top 11-15 (two candidates proposed below, currently not Level 4s). I would say that current Level 4s, Eusébio and Ferenc Puskás usually rank behind Baggio, Müller, and Garrincha (although not on every list).
So my 2 cents is to stick with 14 in total, but make the following changes.

Per my comments above, we should stick to the smaller core of players who are in most quality top-10 lists. 78.18.228.191 (talk) 11:32, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Per my comments above, we should stick to the smaller core of players who are in most quality top-10 lists. Baggio is the one who often appears at #10. Definitely consistently ranks above the existing Level 4s of Puskás and Eusébio. 78.18.228.191 (talk) 11:35, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Per my comments above, she is unambiguously the most famous female footballer, more than existing Level 4, Mia Hamm. I still think we should keep Hamm (women's football is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world), but in all cases, Marta should be a Level 4. 78.18.228.191 (talk) 11:37, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Because this film laid the groundwork for many later graphic novels, movies and series when it comes to science fiction and dystopian societies, and it changed the way people regard anime substantially[1], it definitely should be added.

These two periods literally determined modern-day climates and the evolution of mammals (and other animal groups) up to the modern day, the result of massive tectonic shifts and climates never seen in prehistory before.
The Paleogene period is where the Earth moved away from the greenhouse climates from previous periods up to the "Terminal Eocene Event" in the Eocene-Oligocene transition and became an icehouse up to the modern day and has important implications for paleoecology, in which large extinction/turnover events happened most notably in Europe (the "Grande Coupure") but has been recorded in Asia ("Mongolian Remodeling") and, in recent studies, Africa. In other words, the Paleogene saw the formation of glaciations in the Antarctic and carbon dioxide began decreasing heavily, which saw the end of the tropical world from reduced greenhouse atmospheres and increased albedo feedbacks from long-term glaciation. The climate of the late Paleogene wasn't always consistent cooler over time, seeing the Oligo-Miocene transition to warmer environments, but the world never truly returned to the greenhouse world seen in the Paleozoic era, Mesozoic era, the Paleocene-Eocene epochs again, especially with grasses becoming important components of habitats as early as the Eocene and C4 carbon fixation plants making their debut in the Oligocene.
The Neogene period is equally as important because once again, paleontologists and paleoclimatologists recognize massive shifts in fauna resulting from more tectonic shifts and another large drop in CO2 in the air, which resulted in the expansion of C4 plant environments and/or open woodlands/grasslands environments, more seasonal climates, and large faunal turnovers/extinction events that generally consist of large mammals living in closed habitats. The Neogene also saw debuts of many mammal families that we recognize today, such as most ruminants other than the tragulids (chevrotains) that already appeared in the Oligocene, bears, hyenas, and true elephants, many of which are the result of climatic changes and the dispersal events to other continents that followed.
The Paleogene and Neogene have been critical in understanding modern mammal order evolutions as well as other animal classes like birds, and the paleontological record is rich with fossils and evidence of climatic changes, especially in Eurasia where the two periods have become increasingly popular for paleontologists living there to study. For those reasons, the Paleogene and Neogene should be level-4 Vital Articles. I know the Cenozoic article is already level 4, but it doesn't go as in-depth on such events as the periods inside, and the 3 periods of the Mesozoic era are already level-4 in addition to the era itself. - PrimalMustelid 20:35, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

As vital as Capital (economics) and Labour economics for production. All should be listend and that does not make sense to one be out of anothers at thesame level. I was not active long time on VA but I believe can nominate article already to level 4 even if is not level 5 (nomination from level 5 to level 3 is another case as level 4 is more stable than level 5).

It is very popular genre. "From Huckleberry Finn to Holden Caulfield to Jeannette in Oranges are not the only fruit, right up to twenty first century protagonists such as Starr Carter in The Hate U Give, we see complex, intriguing characters that personify human challenges around choice, values and conflicting feelings."

Science communication includes the important concept of popular science (or science popularization or public understanding of science). [6] "We all benefit from science communication, that includes researchers, practitioners, politicians, decision makers, entrepreneurs, citizens alike. We can use science-based knowledge to aid in problem-solving, networking and knowledge sharing as well as knowledge co-creation. Science communication can provide us with a more holistic and multidisciplinary perspective to ourselves, societies and the environment." [7]

President of Paraguay and the central figure of the Paraguayan War, “the deadliest and bloodiest war in Latin American history”, which shaped the history of South America, and a deeply polarizing figure, viewed by some as an ambitious madman and by others as a righteous hero. His legacy is still heavily taught and debated to this day. I believe a promotion from VIT5 to VIT4 is merited.

psychosis is better understood as a symptom rather then it's own condition seeing that it's not a stand alone diagnosis but instead part of an other dignosis.
Also it really doesn't belong under mental disorders considering that psychosis isn't always a symptom of a mental disorder it can also be caused by an injury of the brain, drug use, medication side effects, or a medical condition. It belongs much more in Symptoms and Signs LJFIN2 (talk)

Mulholland Drive is often regarded as the greatest film of this century. It was ranked 8th in the 2022 Sight & Sound poll of the best films ever made. It is both a thriller and an art film. Its inclusion at this level would produce better overview of film history, since most recent film is currently Star Wars from 1977.
