A featured article should:

* Be '''comprehensive''', '''factually accurate''', '''stable''', and '''well-written'''. Please read [[Wikipedia:How to write a great article|''Great Writing'']] and [[Wikipedia:The perfect article|''The Perfect Article'']] to see how high the bar can be set.

** '''Comprehensive''': Covers the topic in its entirety; does not omit any major facts or details.

** '''Accurate''': supports facts with specifics and external '''citations''' (beware vague justifications such as "''some people say''").

**'''Stable''': a featured article should be mostly static, and not change rapidly from day to day

** '''Well-written''': compelling, even "brilliant" prose—the former name for featured articles.

* Be '''uncontroversial''' in its neutrality and accuracy (no ongoing edit wars).
