I'm not sure we need RPL on here, just R (I think we need another version of RPL that gives everything RPL has and everything R has - RPL seems to be missing a link to the Related Articles subpage). If a page exists and has a definition, it can be deleted from the list. Basically, this list isn't a comprehensive list of basic articles, it's a sort of shared to-do list of stuff that is basic enough that it needs to exist on Citizendium if we are to consider ourselves a useful lookup resource. That means the absolute basics: countries, capital cities, historical but no longer existing countries ([[Gaul]], the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics]] etc.). Take a look at [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_articles_every_Wikipedia_should_have Wikimedia Meta-Wiki: List of articles every Wikipedia should have]. We really need to satisfy that if we want to thwart the "oh, they haven't got an article on {important topic X}" objection and reach our [[Don Quixote|quixotic]] 100,000 by 2011 goal. –[[User:Tom Morris|Tom Morris]] 21:19, 25 January 2010 (UTC) | |||
