Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/"I Was There" Wiki Memoir project

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was DELETE. Since this has virtual unanimity, I don't think I have a conflict of interest in deleting this. Barno: note that userfication is for articles that were intended for userspace, or clearly belong there: it is not a place to temporarily unload articles that one is not sure what else to do with. -Splash talk 23:52, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

"I Was There" Wiki Memoir project
This "project" might be an appropriate subject for an article if it becomes widely known, or develops significant results. But the current text is simply an inviatation to participate (with no link or indication on how to actually get to the wiki in question) and a list of links to articles about participants, not about the historical moments which they witnessed or participated in. Most are redlinks, all but one of the remainder are up for speedy deletion, and that is a dab page. Delete unless completely rewritten, with evidence of current notability or significance.

 * Delete. Misplaced school project. Jimbo has been in contact with the person who started this and they're apparently going to discuss the issue next week and find a more appropriate place for it. Angela. 11:12, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete since insufficient information to serve any useful purpose. Could be an interesting project if they create a proper project page with links, helpful advice, definition of "historical event", etc.  For example, I myself am interested in an oral history project on the Golden Age of General Relativity (see Category:Contributors to general relativity), but can't find any useful pointers on how to approach and interview (by email) possible participants.---CH  (talk) 22:40, 11 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete quickly but without prejudice, before more of the participants make articles about themselves. Friday (talk) 15:48, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Per Angela, userfy until Jimbo and projecteers reach consensus on appropriate place for this. Barno 19:53, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete WP is not a free wiki host. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd 02:34, September 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete WP is not hosting for school projects (whether you're a reality questioner or anything else). -Splash 02:43, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Move to a temp location or userspace until foundation leadership can deal with it suitably. Usrnme h8er 12:03, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, misuse of Wikipedia hosting. Average Earthman 23:11, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Leave LevKamensky
 * I presume that LevKamensky means that the articel should be left undeleted, but this could mean the opposite. I wish this user would clarify this comment, and explain the reasons fo this view. DES (talk) 14:56, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. No argument. Aecis 11:14, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
