Shortcuts

There are no separate for venues for the deletion discussion of WikiProjects, thus all WikiProject deletion discussions are to be taken place at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion (MFD) and are subject to the guidelines of the same.

This page, however, maintains an automatic list of the ongoing deletion discussions of the various WikiProjects, or their subpages, and serves as an one-stop destination for those who are only primarily interested in WikiProject-related MfDs.

Current MfDs

There are currently 2 WikiProject-related MfDs ongoing.

Wikipedia:WikiProject SZA

Limited scope, lacks potential for growth and interest, new WikiProjects are currently being discouraged because of creations like this. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 22:38, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete we do not need a WikiProject for singers. Catfurball (talk) 22:49, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge with another WikiProject - only around 120-ish articles are currently covered by the WikiProject, probably too-narrow in scope. Xeroctic (talk) 14:36, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - Taking an incipient WikiProject to MFD after five days because it either is still launching or has failed to launch seems premature. Wait a little longer to see if there is signup. (My own guess is that there will not be signup, but that this nomination is premature.) Robert McClenon (talk) 06:41, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Do we need some procedure for the review of WikiProjects other than MFD? Do we need a guideline on what are likely to be workable topic areas for WikiProjects? Robert McClenon (talk) 06:41, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep The project has significantly improved the quality and coverage of articles to related to SZA and there's other popular singers who has wikiproject ( Dua Lipa, Michael Jackson, Olivia Rodrigo, etc).For instance, the project has contributed to the enhancement of key articles, such as her biography, discography and individual album pages. These improvements ensure that the information is reliable, well sourced and accessible to a audience. Sunrise In Brooklyn ✉ 18:52, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It’s not really the project improving the articles, it’s you, as the only active member. You don’t need a WikiProject for that. The idea is to get a group together first then create the project. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 05:36, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment would this be better off as a sub-project or task force within Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians? --Lenticel ^(talk) 00:19, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Lenticel: speaking as literally the only other person in this WikiProject, I would go as far as to say most WikiProjects about musicians, often being disorganized anyway, should just be task forces under a more encompassing genre or music WP where more people might actually see and attend to the relevant articles . PSA 🏕️🪐 (please make some noise...) 03:17, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the insight. --Lenticel ^(talk) 05:25, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: It's only a week old! Other singers have WikiProjects. Zanahary (talk) 01:27, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: We should let the project grow before deleting it... Give it maybe a week.. 𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘦𝘭'𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘺, 03:31, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as a subproject or task force under Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians. Deletion is a bit harsh IMO and I agree with PSA that it might be able to attract more editors there. --Lenticel ^(talk) 05:26, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject TRIZ Ontology

Abandoned WikiProject whose sole participant was only active in October 2019, and has an extremely narrow scope (Category:TRIZ only has 8 articles). Xeroctic (talk) 19:18, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete abortive wikiproject of no historic value and any and all associated pages and templates.—Alalch E. 20:07, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Completely useless page for abortive project, doesn't even clarify what TRIZ is until after considerable research. (It is a problem-solving methodology. But this project is a problem to be solved by deletion.) Robert McClenon (talk) 04:33, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Besides the lack of value in preserving the page for the dead project, the page encourages promotion/advertising and original research, and its creator and only member is a COI (though now inactive). Air on White (talk) 00:19, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Wikipedia:WikiProject Science, which is the only WikiProject claiming to cover the only page related to this unapproved WikiProject. In general, overly-narrow WikiProject false starts should be redirected to a relevant WikiProject. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:51, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete abandoned wikiproject that is not worthy to keep. Catfurball (talk) 15:25, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
