Large page (698K), no substantive activity in four years. Appears to be extremely old log. Users most recent contribution was in 2007. SPhilbrick T  14:49, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Shouldn't someone give notice to the bot operator to find out if that page is necessary? Even though that bot's last edit was nearly 3 years ago, the bot owner could conceivably refer to that page to help program new bots. EdEColbert Let me know 15:02, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Good point - it hadn't sunk in that this was a bot - I see you beat me to it with the notification.-- SPhilbrick  T  15:13, 5 May 2010 (UTC)


 * As a general point, once a page is deleted, it still remains on the database servers so no "space" is saved. The page is a bot generated list of information about all WikiProjects, as was required by someone at the time. Since that was 4 years ago, it seems a dead cert that it's obsolete now, however I'm not sure if someone would find it has "historical interest". The only issue with it that I can think of is slowing down automated editing tasks due to its size, hence I've blanked it with a note about what was there. I'm not sure what further purpose deletion would serve, but also don't have any feeling either way :). Martinp23 18:34, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per the bot operator's assertion that this might have historical interest. Cunard (talk) 07:30, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Especially since it has been substantially blanked - the material is certainly of potential historical interest. No reason for deletion as it stands. Collect (talk) 11:15, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
