Nostalgia Wikipedia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This Google search doesn't yield anything that would seem to pass WP:42&mdash;some Encyclopedia Dramatica trolling, a few minor blog posts, and then basically a bunch of WMF stuff and mirrors. Nostalgia WP's cool and all, but I don't think it's notable enough for an article. See also Articles for deletion/Wikimedia Meta-Wiki (2nd nomination): Our behind-the-scenes sites get a lot less press coverage than you'd think, most of the time.  — PinkAmpers  &#38;  ( Je vous invite à me parler )  23:40, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Since Ansh brought it up, precedents in both directions can be found here. — PinkAmpers  &#38;  ( Je vous invite à me parler )  04:40, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete – I wasn't aware that this article existed before I received the notification about it on my talk page (thanks PinkAmpersand). I have never really been a fan of these "XXX Wikipedia" articles, because they're often so insular and there aren't usually any reliable third-party sources for them. This "Nostalgia Wikipedia" page is not an exception. Graham 87 00:30, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator and precedent (I'm referring to specific language Wikipedias that had their articles deleted through AfD, but I'm too lazy to go find them right now) as failing WP:GNG. Ansh666 02:17, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, the ones I were referring to: All IIRC were in similar condition (no external links except to the wiki itself), and while those merited redirection, List of Wikipedias is for language Wikipedias, not for this sort of thing. Ansh666 06:35, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom and Graham. But could we copy (with attribution) the paragraph over to Nostalgia wiki first? (Asking partially as I don't recall if there are restrictions or preferred methods for interwiki copying, and partially to get everyone here to watchlist that existing meta page ;) –Quiddity (talk) 06:50, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, you can go find an admin on meta to import it (RFH), or you can just do it the low-tech way, by copy-pasting and leaving attribution in your edit summary or on the talk page. (If you do the latter, though, you should list all the contributors, since if the article here is deleted, a hyperlink will no longer qualify as sufficient attribution.) —  PublicAmpers &#38;  (main account • talk • block) 14:32, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Content copied to Nostalgia wiki, with edit summary attribution. –Quiddity (talk) 17:58, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
