The '''good article criteria''' are the six standards or tests by which a [[Wikipedia:Good article nominations|good article nomination]] may be compared and judged to be a [[Wikipedia:Good articles|good article]]. A good article that has met the good article criteria may not have met the criteria for [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured articles]].<ref>Good articles are only measured against the good article criteria. At the time of assessment, they may or may not meet [[Wikipedia:Featured article criteria|featured article criteria]], which determine our ''best'' articles.</ref> The good article criteria measure ''decent'' articles; they are [[Wikipedia:Compare criteria Good v. Featured article|not as demanding]] as the featured article criteria, which determine our ''best'' articles.
