This is an extensive list of 13,500 articles related to the physical sciences which I believe are vital to the global Wikipedia community. This list is designed to represent the articles on the most notable topics in different areas of the fields of the physical sciences. As it is difficult to compare the notability of physical sciences topics in different areas of that field, the list is intended to be based on quotas for each area. This list requires extensive refinement and prioritization on the basis of topic-by-topic analysis.
