Hi Nettrom,
A few resources from English Wikipedia regarding article importance as ranked by humans:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vital_articles
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Release_V...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_assessment#Statistics
I infer from the ENWP Wikicup's scoring protocol that for purposes of the competition, an article's "importance" is loosely inferred from the number of language editions of Wikipedia in which the article appears: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#Bonus_points.
HTH,

Hello everyone,
I am currently working with Aaron Halfaker and Dario Taraborelli at the Wikimedia Foundation on a project exploring automated classification of article importance. Our goal is to characterize the importance of an article within a given context and design a system to predict a relative importance rank. We have a project page on meta[1] and welcome comments or thoughts on our talk page. You can of course also respond here on wiki-research-l, or send me an email.
Before moving on to model-building I did a fairly thorough literature review, finding a myriad of papers spanning several disciplines. We have a draft literature review also up on meta[2], which should give you a reasonable introduction to the topic. Again, comments or thoughts (e.g. papers we’ve missed) on the talk page, mailing list, or through email are welcome.
