| − | + | A '''comprehensive article''' is one that is complete with all its relevant information, but due to its slight size, cannot obtain '''''[[Wikisimpsons:Featured article|Featured article]]''''' status (our ''best'' work). The purpose of this project is to establish uniformity among Wikisimpsons, by seeing that all articles are, essentially, ''complete,'' with all their relevant material. Through this process, we mainly hope to '''''let readers know when an article they are reading is complete,''''' and not a "stub" (an article which has been denoted as lacking in information), though its size might suggest so. Episodes and regular and supporting characters cannot qualify as comprehensive articles, as they can obtain featured status. ''(For nominating these articles, see ''[[Wikisimpsons:Featured article]]''.)'' | |

Any registered Wikisimpsons user can vote. Voters must strictly check that a nominated article meets all its criteria, that it is in fact ''comprehensive.'' If you believe it is, put "Support" in bold, followed by # with your justification. If you feel an article does not meet the criteria, create an "Oppose" section, explaining why '''''and''''' giving your suggestions on how to improve the article. | Any registered Wikisimpsons user can vote.
