Criteria
Good Article Status - Review Criteria
Further information: WP:WIAGA
A good article is—
- Well-written:
- (a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and
- (b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, list incorporation, and table accessibility.[1]
- Verifiable with no original research:
- (a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;
- (b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);[2]
- (c) it contains no original research; and
- (d) it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
- Broad in its coverage:
- (a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;[3] and
- (b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
- Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
- Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. [4]
- Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio: [5]
- (a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content; and
- (b) media are relevant to the topic, have suitable captions, and have alt text.[6]
Notes
- Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
- This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
- Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
- Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
- The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
Review
- Well-written:
- Lead section follows MoS. There are a few citations to the most contentious statements. Content is good. Works well for a bio. mdm.bla 03:59, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
- Layout follows MoS. mdm.bla 04:06, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
- The phrase
Trump is said to have made many such suggestions...
reads as a weasel word. I'd recommend attributing the statement to the sources. Overall, I don't see any other potentially problematic words to watch. mdm.bla 04:17, 6 March 2026 (UTC) - Agreed. I'm not exactly sure where the person who wrote that sentence got that conclusion, so I've gone ahead and changed the whole thing. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 21:41, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
- Verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check:
- For a list of explanatory footnotes or shortened citation footnotes: "Notes", "Endnotes" or "Footnotes"
- For a list of full citations or general references: "References" or "Works cited"
- Broad in its coverage:
- Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
- @Mdm.Bla: The content there appears to be fine and only discusses that he was the subject of criminal cases into sex trafficking and rape. The association between Trump and Tate would seem to be excessive, but The New York Times mentioned Trump several times in its article, so there is no extrapolation in assuming that their connection assured Tate's release.
- Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
- Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
- I tweaked the caption. The image is not of the actual ball given to Trump, but an example of the Mechta's design. —ADavidB 00:42, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Adavidb: I discovered that there are multiple images of the actual ball on Commons (see image search on Commons). I've boldly replaced the image and caption, although feel free to edit. mdm.bla 19:10, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

| (a) (prose) | The prose is well-written overall. It could use some grammar polishing to flow better, but nothing is screaming "wrong." mdm.bla 04:23, 6 March 2026 (UTC) |  Pass |

|---|---|---|
| (a) (references) | References are laid out in two sections, Barron Trump#References and Barron Trump#Works cited. These sections follow the relevant manual of style guideline, which states: This is how the citations are being handled, with print sources consistently using short citations/the works cited section and online sources consistently using full citations. mdm.bla 19:29, 1 March 2026 (UTC) |
 Pass |
| (b) (citations to reliable sources) | No concerns with the source selection. Citations are inline, properly set up, and properly placed. mdm.bla 00:53, 3 March 2026 (UTC) | Pass |
| (c) (original research) | No evidence of OR. mdm.bla 01:15, 5 March 2026 (UTC) | Pass |
| (d) (copyvio and plagiarism) | Earwig highlights one potential copyvio at 57.9%, but the publication date is after the relevant text was written onwiki (i.e. they copied from us). None of the other candidates bring up anything concerning. mdm.bla 01:26, 5 March 2026 (UTC) | Pass |

| (a) (major aspects) | The article addresses Trump's early and personal life (expected of a BLP). It also talks about his status as a public figure and his involvement in his father's politics, as well as his career in his own right. Doesn't go out of scope anywhere. mdm.bla 04:28, 6 March 2026 (UTC) | Pass |
| (b) (focused) | Overall length is good, none of the sections are going on and on and on into intricate detail. Summary style is not needed as there are no subtopics with dedicated articles at this time. | Pass |

| Most of the article follows NPOV. The section describing the association between Trump and Tate is giving Tate undue weight. This article doesn't need to go into detail about Tate's alleged conduct. mdm.bla 04:45, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

| (a) (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales) | Four images present, three of which are tagged PD. One is tagged CC BY 4.0 and is properly attributed. mdm.bla 22:35, 27 February 2026 (UTC) | Pass |
| (b) (appropriate use with suitable captions) | The three images with Barron as a subject are appropriate and well-captioned. I am unsure of whether the caption on the Adidas Telstar 18 image is correct, as the file description indicates that the ball pictured was given to Qatari sport delegates at the Kremlin the day before the 2018 Russia–United States summit. mdm.bla 22:43, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Discussion
- @Mdm.Bla: did you do a source spot-check? Ie; check a certain percentage of the citations (10-20% is a good benchmark) to see if they fully support the text? Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 05:44, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Generalissima Yes, I should have commented on it but I did that partially in 2b and partially in 2c. mdm.bla 06:17, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
