It aims to improve and refine Wikipedia's resources on Kentucky in a fair and accurate manner and logically link them through a high-quality, well-maintained Portal:Kentucky. As of 22 June 2026, there are 15,600 articles within the scope of WikiProject Kentucky, of which 69 are featured and 157 are good articles.

Including non-article pages, such as talk pages, redirects, categories, etc., there are 49,882 pages in the project.
