Draft of broad-concept article

This page has been tagged {{broad-concept article}}. I'd be willing to chip in, but I have a few points to bring up:

There's already a draft named "Draft:Example", but it's an example of a draft, not a draft of an article named "Example". So instead, I suppose drafting should take place at a different draft name like, say, "Example (1)" or in someone's userspace sandbox.
- For reference, {{DraftChecker}} says: * There is a draft named Example. There's also a banner when editing the page thanks to {{Draft at}}.
What are some comparable broad-concept articles?
- The best I can think of are Particular, Abstract and concrete, Abstraction, Generalization, Idea, Model, Concept, Design, and Paradigm
- Meanwhile, these are disambiguations: Demonstration, Exemplar, Meaning, Detail, Context, Thing, Generality, and Trope
What should the article look like and what sources should it draw from?
- To start, I notice the above deal with metaphysics, linguistics, cognition, and a bit of epistemology and ontology, as well as philosophy in general of course
Coincidentally, I'm also drafting Exempli gratia, if anyone's interested in contributing to that

FYI @Duckmather (since you added the tag)

1. Yes! This could be a great article.

2. can we somehow change the image used for the Suggested Article banner at the top? The broom illustration doesn't seem to indicate the goal very well. 70.67.252.144 (talk) 07:24, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the image, you're talking about Template:Broad-concept article, yeah? You can suggest the change on its talk page and/or the relevant WikiProject talk page (Disambiguation). I think an image with a pencil writing on a page would be good, similar to m:File:Memo_icon.svg. — W.andrea (talk) 11:34, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
