Add Caravan (Juan Tizol and Duke Ellington song) and Stardust (1927 song)

[edit]

These two song are stated in the intro of jazz standard to be one of the most covered songs of all time. Admittedly, the “Stardust” article does a much better job explaining its vitality than “Caravan”’s article.

Add Rechtsstaat

[edit]

The Rechtsstaat, originating in German Jurisprudence  4, embodies principles of legal certainty, equality before the law, and protection of individual rights. This principle depends on the Separation of powers  4, ensuring Judicial independence  5 and impartiality. It emphasizes the rule of law as a safeguard against arbitrary government actions, ensuring that legal processes are transparent, predictable, and fair. The doctrine has influenced constitutionalism and legal theory globally, contributing to the development of democratic governance and the protection of human rights in diverse countries

Add Lebensraum

[edit]

Lebensraum, a geopolitical concept coined by Friedrich Ratzel, that posits that territories are living organisms and, as so, need to expand in order to provide for their population. This idea was notably adopted and distorted by the Nazi Party during World War II to justify their aggressive expansionist policies. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime used the concept of Lebensraum to justify their invasions and annexations of neighboring territories, particularly in Eastern Europe, under the pretext of securing land for the German people. This expansionist ideology was a key component of Nazi propaganda and played a significant role in shaping the course of World War II. The Blue Rider 17:57, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add Public good (economics)

[edit]

There are three types of goods in economics, private goods, common goods and public goods. Public goods are of the interest of the state and are specially important in welfare states. They are also widely studied in the field of economics because they have a grand influence in the policies of a state; one must decide whether to allocate resources toward public goods provision through taxation and government spending or to leave their provision to the private sector, considering factors such as efficiency, equity, and the role of government in promoting societal welfare.

In the removal discussion for The Human Condition (film series), I noted that film/series seemed less vital than Harakiri, a film by the same director, which has a 100% ranking on Rotten Tomatoes and is the highest ranked film on Letterboxd. It's also in the TSPDT top 1000.

  1. I'm apt to oppose films that people who aren't extreme cinephiles typically haven't heard of. Also, I feel like, in general, it requires a much higher standard of notability to include documentaries on this list as documentaries are much less influential in the cultural zeitgeist than regular movies. If we are really looking to add another documentary, I would rather add Bowling for Columbine which has much more of a cultural legacy, is way more well-known, has won more awards (though this is less impressive when compared to a movie from 1922), and is regularly considered one of the greatest documentaries of all time. Aurangzebra (talk) 20:23, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  1. We already have a better, much more famous representative for Italian neorealism with Bicycle Thieves  4. We probably don't need 2. And even with the expanded quota, our film section is so small that we should probably only be listing unambiguous classics or widely-known films. It doesn't even have a Legacy section. Aurangzebra (talk) 20:47, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I am explicitly proposing films because I think the section is disproprtionately small compared to video games (which is at ~100), when films have been around for much longer (1890s vs 1970s) and have built up much more cultural influence over time. Besides, Bicycle Thieves is listed a tier above this already. Iostn (talk) 18:32, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree that films should have more representation especially when compared to video games (I have a track record of complaining about how many video game articles we have), I just don't think this is anywhere close to being one of the best candidates.

  1. We're over quota in Level 5. While we are still adding broadly relevant concepts like Voting  5, I can't support adding one-off films like this one. starship.paint 13:14, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
    VA5 is currently below quota, its only has 49,958 as of the latest update. Iostn (talk) 15:05, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    But Arts is over-quota at 3,322/3,300. Currently specific films are at 199, and customarily we had at the number of vital films at 200. I would support your suggestions, if paired with films to swap. Makkool (talk) 16:23, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I was actually personally in favour of a higher quota for films, given we had one of 105 for video games which is a much more recent medium and therefore one with less titles that are as culturally influential, but I can propose some other removals from Arts. Iostn (talk) 19:18, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Jumping into this quite late but I would support removing video games in favor of adding more movies. I think our massive list of video game articles reflects the demographics of VA5 voters as opposed to all Wikipedia users whereas movies are a more global phenomenon.

As for Santos, I'd like to add a Brazilian club, but I'm not sure whether they or CR Flamengo are more successful, so somebody who knows Brazilian football/soccer better than I do should weigh in on this.

    The golden age of animation was in the earlyish-to-mid 1900s (chiefly 1930s and 1940s) when huge technical advances were made, Roger Rabbit came decades after that (but was set during the era). (As an aside, the WP:COMMONNAME as far as I've seen really is without the "American" part, Wikipedia doesn't specify "European Renaissance" either.)--LaukkuTheGreit (Talk•Contribs) 07:15, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, I meant one of the most important films of modern animation, not golden age (while it's set in it), my bad. More accurately, I would say it came out at the end of the "dark age" era but paved the way for the modern era. Either way, the film's influence can't really be understated. 49p (talk) 15:19, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rework the 20th century specific musical works

[edit]

The section listing 20th century specific musical works is highly unrepresentative of 20th century western classical music. Of the 29 works listed, 16 were written before 1920 and only 4 after 1950, including Giazotto’s Adagio in G minor which is a musical scam (and could arguably be put in the Baroque section) and Karl Jenkins’ The Armed Man, which is of debatable historical importance. In addition, while atonality is a defining characteristic of a lot of classical music in this period, there is no atonal work on the list, including Cage’s 4’33’’ which doesn’t use any musical idiom. While the 20th century is full of very influent composers (59 level 5 articles), 4 composers (Debussy, Mahler, Rachmaninoff, Sibelius) have written 14 works on the list, which is almost half. While Debussy and Mahler are central figures of the evolution of musical language, Rachmaninoff and Sibelius (4 works on the list each), although important composers, shouldn’t be this overrepresented and account for a fourth of 20th century music. ThomEmilAlbe (talk) 17:36, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest at least the following removals : The Armed Man, Csárdás (Monti), Finlandia, Symphony No. 2 (Rachmaninoff), Suite bergamasque, Piano Concerto No. 3 (Rachmaninoff), and at least the following additions : Pierrot lunaire, Music for 18 musicians, Violin Concerto (Berg), Le Marteau sans maître. ThomEmilAlbe (talk) 22:39, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support - excellent points, the list would benefit from these changes Makkool (talk) 11:41, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose removing Suite bergamasque  5 (contains the world-famous Clair de lune which doesn't have a separate article) and Finlandia  5 (Sibelius's by far most famous and culturally impactful work, I'd rather remove one of his two listed symphonies), support adding Pierrot lunaire.
While I agree avant-garde music may need more representation, your addition suggestions are mostly more obscure than removals, with Pierrot lunaire by Arnold Schoenberg  4 a notable exception, plus Music for 18 musicians and Violin Concerto (Berg) have weak vitality claims. Lulu (opera) seems a more promising 12-tone composition addition than the violin concerto by the same composer. If we're struggling to remove 20th century works, other eras can perhaps be trimmed instead (I already proposed removing a less important Beethoven piece below.). Additonally, a few people's works dominating may be just natural due to Pareto distribution, although the VA project's non-overlap principle can justify counteracting this.--LaukkuTheGreit (Talk•Contribs) 12:05, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  1. It's a description of a common phenomenon in society from a sociological perspective, almost exclusively from a critical perspective. This does not mean that "gender binary" as a concept is commonly discussed outside of social science circles or outside the Global North. I may support this if Social sciences weren't already over quota and after we have listed more commonly discussed topics such as Collectivism, Habit  5, Planning, Strategy, Procrastination, etc. feminist🩸 (talk) 04:38, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Social studies isn't over quota, its at 497/500. In any case, I do think more entries could be added to that section by clearing some of the excessive pop cultural subculture listings or named generations. Iostn (talk) 08:35, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Trim Academic journals.

[edit]

The Culture page is well over the quota, and there are a lot of very important peer-reviewed publications out there. Every discipline has their own set of academic organizations and publications, and every country has them as well. Trying to find out which should be included is very political and will cause infighting, so I'd suggest to only include the ones with the highest impact factor that are very broad and not specific to one country. For example, as a geographer Annals of the American Association of Geographers is very important to me, but I would not include it on this list. There is a lot of representation of medical journals, but many of the physical/social sciences are ignored, I don't see any engineering journals, and there are very few humanities journals. The bar for inclusion is pretty low because no one wants to say an academic journal isn't vital, so it would be best to trim the haphazard collection we have to just the most impactful and broad journals, while eliminating ones that are overly specific to a single discipline or country unless it is particularly noteworthy to avoid opening the can of worms of trying to sort academic journals. I expect this to be controversial and am not married to removing any one of these in particular, but think the ones I've listed are the ones hardest to argue against. If I subjectively didn't include something in this list, feel free to post it for discussion.GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 01:41, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add Illegal immigration

[edit]

A commonly discussed issue in most high-income countries. Place either under Immigration  4 in Social studies, or under Immigration law  5 in Politics and economics. My preference is the former because our article on illegal immigration focuses on the reasons and impact on the practice, rather than how the laws themselves are breached.

Drink brand additions

[edit]

This is a group of nominations for several different popular drinks that share relatively the same rationale for why they should be added (globally recognized and long-lasting brands, lack of sodas at V5, etc). And so, I've grouped them all up under one topic.

Note that a lot of these had support in the separate proposal to add Fanta  5, though I chose to make a separate proposal so that it's easier to manage, plus there were other drinks I wanted to nominate.

Add Sprite (drink)

[edit]

A soft drink that is globally popular, with generally similar popularity as Fanta  5 (though maybe a bit less). Would probably be placed directly under Soft drink  4 since I'm not sure where else it would go.

Trim Academic Institutions

[edit]

The Culture page is well over the quota, and we have a lot of Academic Institutions. I can see why this would happen, there are a lot of people in America who really love the school they went to, sports fans, and University employees who all want to see their school as vital. The bar for inclusion is pretty low because no one wants to say a University isn't vital, but it appears we don't have a very good system for why we have included some while others are ignored. It would be best to trim the haphazard collection we have to just the biggest most significant Universities. I think we should start by trimming ones from the United States, as it is clearly WAY over represented (to be fair, the US does have a lot of great school from an international standpoint). I expect this to be controversial and am not married to removing any one of these in particular (I actually expect many if not most of these to fail), but think the ones I've listed are the ones hardest to argue against. If I subjectively didn't include something in this list, feel free to post it for discussion. As an assistant professor, this hurts a bit, however there is significant room to trim the academic institutions, especially in the United States, and tough decisions need to be made. I am not affiliated with any of the schools currently on the list, and never have been, but could make the case for at least five schools being included if we don't trim this as they are just as impactful if not more so then many on the list now. It could easily be a situation where EVERY one of the 50 states flagship universities are included, which wouldn't be ideal.

@QuicoleJR I wasn't thinking of these in terms of College sports, but rather their academic contributions to the global community. American College football isn't significant from a global perspective anyway, so I don't really think University Football teams should be what makes them vital. I certainly don't think the Loughborough University is vital because of their significance to Cricket in England (an article that is not listed as vital I should note). I'd be in favor of purging all American college football/sports from the lists completely, they aren't really vital, dispite what some fandoms might think. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 01:11, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While I agree that college sports is not that internationally important, if we were to list one college based on its sports team, IMO it would be Alabama. College sports may not be popular overseas, but it is very popular in the United States. QuicoleJR (talk) 11:51, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for missing that, I'll remember the format in the future. The reason for removal is at the top, and applies evenly to all of the Universities I proposed removing. Essentially, the haphazard inclusion of schools we have either requires us to include MANY more, or remove a lot of them. For example, looking at the List of research universities in the United States, we don't have all the R1s, but include California State University, which although large, consists of R2 schools. We have several schools listed that are neither R1 or R2. No school I've worked at or gone to is on the Vital list, but they are all R1 or R2 universities that could subjectively be included like most of the ones we do have. To avoid expanding the list to all R1 and R2 schools, I think trimming dramatically is easier. The University of Florida is big, but so are the flagship universities of many states that are not, and should not be (in my opinion), included on the list.

The issue is the section is quite bloated. These are the American Universities that I think we could trim, and the list is exclusive to American Universities. Going through and posting them one at a time could take months without addressing the problem of over a decade of bloat, and editors will come in and out over that time making it hard to actually maintain engagement (myself included, I would lose interest in this long before I'd get around to posting one University at a time). This seems like a good way to sort through many at once. At least that's my hope. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 21:43, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add Hanja

[edit]

The character set used to write the Korean language  4 before being replaced by Hangul  4. As a result, knowledge of hanja is necessary to understand historical Korean texts. Compare, for example, the need to understand Traditional Chinese characters  5 to read older Chinese texts.

As a character set that has been superseded, hanja is perhaps less important than other character sets derived from Chinese characters which remain in modern usage, such as Kanji  5 or Traditional Chinese characters  5. However, considering that Classical Chinese  4 is at level 4, the classical Korean character set should still be appropriate at this level.

Update categorization by college conference of US universities

Due to changes in college athletic conferences (2021–2026 NCAA conference realignment), some articles in Educational institutions -> Americas -> United States need to be moved to new headings. The Pac-12 section should be emptied, with the pages relocated to other headers as follows:

If you believe the list would benefit updating the structure, I think you can just go ahead and do it.

  • Just want to point out that anime, manga, and light novels are not the same thing and should be broken up. For example, while Sword Art Online has an anime, it was originally a light novel series and could be moved into such a section. The equivalent would be cartoons, comic books, and young adult novels. The confusion seems to happen when one is based on another, like when a cartoon is based on a comic book. The genre Isekai isn't exclusive to a particular medium, and has quite a few franchises (several hundred), which you can see in the Category:Isekai, and includes movies like Spirited Away  5, and light novel series like Overlord (novel series) and Sword Art Online  5. Overlord and Sword Art Online were later adapted into Anime, which leads to confusion. This proposal would be under Genre, like Tokusatsu  5.

  1. Has absolutely not "faded into obscurity", and I say this as someone who never watched it, there are many shows I would remove first. Interwikis are also very high. Kevinishere15 (talk) 03:19, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Eh, haven't even seen the show but I think this has been big enough to include for now.--LaukkuTheGreit (Talk•Contribs) 13:35, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Spawned a spinoff, quotes from the show are used frequently in popular culture and memes, and its categorization as a 'comfort show' to many (like Friends  5 and Seinfeld  5) ensured it has remained relevant years after its finale. In fact, HIMYM consistently tops the charts on its streaming platforms a full decade after its conclusion. Aurangzebra (talk) 22:48, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove Crossroads (British TV series)  5

[edit]

Essentially a lesser, now more-forgotten British soap opera that seems to be most notable as a competitor to Coronation Street  5 with worse critical reception. It had high viewership at the time but it is rarely talked about today. Removing this would probably be essential to addressing Anglophone bias for listed TV shows.

  1. Is this series really that influential or popular enough for V5? The only argument I'm seeing for why we should add it is that people like it. The nomination rationale here is also lacking any reasons as to why we should list it. Don't get me wrong, I like it too to some extent, but it's just not that influential I don't think. And games that are far more popular than this series were removed in the past. λ NegativeMP1 06:24, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Per MP1, not particularly influential and not popular enough to outweigh the lack of influence. Kevinishere15 (talk) 08:00, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Removed in the past, neither popular or influential IMO enough to be listed. Something like Ace Attorney or Prince of Persia (the latter of which invented the cinematic platformer subgenre and is an inspiration for Assassin's Creed  5 and Tomb Raider  5) I estimate to be more culturally/industrially influential despite selling less.--LaukkuTheGreit (Talk•Contribs) 08:06, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove The Vicar of Dibley  5

[edit]

This page is still well over the quota, and this particular British TV show does not seem vital enough to make the cut. Sure, it was popular for a while and it won a few awards, but it doesn't seem to have had much influence, and it is not popular enough to be listed for that alone. Only 13 interwikis.

Add Wand to Philosophy and Religion

[edit]

I'm a bit surprised this wasn't included. I believe this is a significant religious object to numerous groups throughout history and literature. The term has been used as the name for numerous tools and inventions (as can be seen on Wand (disambiguation)), including as a name for a missile defense system known now as David's Sling, and various software tools. I believe it warrants inclusion.
