The following discussion is an archived proposal of the WikiProject below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the project's talk page (if created) or the WikiProject Council). No further edits should be made to this page.

The proposed WikiProject was not created. Closing proposal due to insufficient interest from other editors. Ajpolino (talk) 16:45, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Description[edit]

This WikiProject wouldn't be for all of the humans in the world, for that would take forever, but instead all of the articles relating to humanity itself. I was very shocked to find out that we didn't have one about humans, and I think that it's broad enough to receive it's own WikiProject. buffbills7701 21:21, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please invite these and any other similar groups to join the discussion about this proposal. See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Directory to find similar WikiProjects.
Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?
Wikiproject Anthropology is about the study of humanity, and Primates and Mammals could be parent WikiProjects, but I think humanity is broad enough to separate from those two.

Support[edit]

Also, specify whether or not you would join the project.

  1. I would join this project, since I was searching for it in the first place. buffbills7701 21:21, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

Can you explain the different between WikiProject Humanity and WikiProject Anthropology? It seems like there would be a lot of overlap since anthropology is the "science of humanity". Kaldari (talk) 01:44, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I feel that WikiProject Anthropology is about the study of humanity. WikiProject Humanity would be about humanity itself. If I have made an error, please tell me. I just think that humanity and anthropology don't overlap too much, and that humanity deserves to have it's own WikiProject. buffbills7701 15:58, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you're right. My suggestion would be to ask WikiProject Anthropology what they think of the proposal. Kaldari (talk) 00:24, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
