Days to take before wikipedi's approval for new article

Wikipedia has no specific "approval" process for new articles, but rather a set of guidelines and policies that editors follow to ensure the quality and accuracy of the content. Here's a general outline of the process:

  1. Creation: Anyone can create a new article on Wikipedia by clicking the "Create an article" button on the website.
  2. Initial review: The new article is automatically added to the "Articles for creation" category, where other editors can review and improve it.
  3. Patroller review: Within a few hours or days, a patroller (a volunteer editor who helps monitor new articles) will review the article to ensure it meets basic guidelines, such as:
    • The article is not a duplicate of an existing article.
    • The article is not a personal attack or promotional content.
    • The article is not a hoax or vandalism.
  4. Article talk page: The patroller will add a comment to the article's talk page, indicating whether the article is ready for further review or needs improvement.
  5. Peer review: Other editors can review and improve the article, adding sources, correcting errors, and expanding the content.
  6. Good article criteria: The article is evaluated against Wikipedia's Good article criteria, which include:
    • Verifiability: The article is based on reliable sources.
    • No original research: The article does not contain original research or speculation.
    • Neutral point of view: The article presents a neutral point of view.
    • Completeness: The article provides a comprehensive overview of the topic.
  7. Good article nomination: If the article meets the Good article criteria, an editor can nominate it for Good article status.
  8. Good article review: A team of editors reviews the article to ensure it meets the Good article criteria.
  9. Featured article nomination: If the article meets the Featured article criteria, an editor can nominate it for Featured article status.
  10. Featured article review: A team of editors reviews the article to ensure it meets the Featured article criteria.

The entire process can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks or even months, depending on the complexity of the topic, the quality of the article, and the availability of editors to review and improve it.
