Wikipedia:Simple talk/Archive 89 Spoken article template?
There are plenty of good articles which will never be put forward for the promotion process, and other criteria are possible. There is surely a good case for doing any article in the top 500, so long as it looks halfway decent. My other thought is not to speak whole articles, at least not in the first place. With some articles as long as 90,000 bytes, recordings could be impossibly tedious. With many articles the intro would be quite enough. Whole articles are shorter than some intros.
