Ideas on improving this article to C or B rating?
Hello! I've been working with several groups to improve some of the high-importance articles on Wikipedia. This article is rated as a level-1 vital article, one of the 10 most important articles on Wikipedia. It is the only such article that is rated as a start class. I believe it is already a C-class article, but I'd like to hear from those of you that are watching this page, what does this article need to meet the B-class or C-class criteria as outlined in Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Assessment? Remember that these criteria are weaker than GA criteria and much weaker than FA criteria.Brirush (talk) 03:43, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
We could get rid of the poor rating by merging this with the article "Art"? Has anyone else thought of that? Much of this article seems pretty redundant to me.1Halpo1 (talk) 03:01, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
Fully agree with the user above, this article needs to be merged with "Art". I can understand there are certain nuances about "art" as the end result and "the arts" as the processes of creating various type of art. This makes sense in the same way that "Building" and "Construction" are two seperate articles, but in this case I do not think people visiting this article will care as much. Also most of the language in this "The arts" article actually seeks to define "art", not "the arts". Strong proponent of merge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.71.13.2 (talk) 15:57, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

I opened a discussion for potential merger between Art and The arts in the talk page of Art. Primary argument is the large degree of overlap between the 2 topics and general confusion that many editors (and presumably visitors) seem to have between the 2. Would appreciate if all interested parties could give their opinion in the discussion. >>>Discussion here<<< 92.71.13.2 (talk) 17:02, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
