This is a list of approximately 1,000 basic subjects that the English Wikipedia should have a corresponding featured article for. It is a duplicate of the list of articles every Wikipedia should have but, due to English Wikipedia having them all, now serves as a guide for featured articles.

The original version of this list is from Simple English Wikipedia. See also the version on Meta: m:List of articles all languages should have, which is somewhat extended. The supposedly canonical list is the one at meta — changes should be made there if possible.

All these articles exist on en:. But ideally, Wikipedia 1.0 should have all these articles up to featured quality. Many of these have a long way to go. Please work on improving as needed. Articles that are already on Wikipedia:Featured articles are marked with a star (Template:FA). Articles that are currently stubs or have cleanup tags on them and thus need to be improved as soon as possible are marked in bold.

See also Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Core topics, another take on the minimal article list.
