  2. Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 10:06, 11 March 2009 (UTC) - But as Novels task force - can't see need for full project[reply]
  3. Modernist (talk) 21:27, 13 March 2009 (UTC) Good project idea. I am constantly watching out for vandals...the project is a good idea although basically a finite one..Perhaps eventually it can be combined with a few other important writers like Fitzgerald, O'Neill, Joyce etc.[reply]
  4. feydey (talk) 08:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC) Created as Novels task force.[reply]
  5. —Admiral Norton (talk) 22:32, 5 April 2009 (UTC) as a task force, no need to go full-scale (yet)[reply]

as Novels task force

Discussion[edit]

Support[edit]

  • Ernest Hemingway task force! yes if there are at least a basic handful of supporters, The Novels WikiProject has a task force structure that should be able to host, support, encourage and nurture such efforts. And yes the scope can be a bit broader in type than the parent project as a number have author bios included. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 10:00, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose[edit]

  • Weak oppose. Anyway, why don't you create a Victor Hugo one first? He's more famous than Hemingway.


Neutral[edit]

  • What articles there are to be improved? feydey (talk) 21:53, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Initially, articles within the scope of this project will be the main Ernest Hemingway article, all articles pertaining to his works, a list of all his works, a list timeline of his life and works, and articles pertaining to his home and museum. Additionally, categorization of his articles and improvement of the number and quality of images will also fall within the scope. kilbad (talk) 22:19, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This sounds better as a task force within a larger project than a project in and of itself: are there even three dozen articles within its scope? THF (talk) 17:40, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I think there would probably be roughly three dozen articles, but probably not much more. If it were to be a taskforce, what project would it go under? kilbad (talk) 18:21, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
WP:LIT? 「ダイノガイ千？！」(Dinoguy1000) 18:32, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely not appropriate for WP:LIT. The project is meant to work on move general terms and topics (like novel) rather than specific novelists. Perhaps WP:NOVELS or WP:BOOKS? --Midnightdreary (talk) 18:43, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, WP:NOVELS wouldn't cover Hemingway's bio article, but of course it would cover all of those pertaining to his works. The task forces that are currently listed under the Project pertain to novel series, however: Twilight, Chronicles of Narnia, etc. I suppose we can call it the Anti-Semitic Drunk Women Haters task force? :) María (habla conmigo) 19:46, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Go for Wikipedia:WikiProject Gender Studies then. --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 20:40, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So should I be taking all this as an oppose then? kilbad (talk) 21:26, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
WikiProject Novels / Lemony Snicket includes the Daniel Handler article; I see no reason that an Ernest Hemingway task force within the Novels WikiProject couldn't include biographical and geographic and short-story articles related to novelist Hemingway.
