Article selection criteria

From what I've seen thus far, articles in this portal consist of FA- and GA-class articles. This sets a good precedent for this portal, to utilize very high quality article content. Furthermore, at Portal:Pop music/Selected artists, it is stated that "Articles must have reached featured or good article status before being displayed on the portal" (example diff).
