WikiProject Warner


A new single-company-based WikiProject, with none of the attributes of a project which is likely to fly. The list of WikiProjects is littered with once-active projects which are now empty halls of tumbleweed, and with even more which never got beyond the efforts of an enthusiastic initiator. As noted at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council FAQs#8, new WikiProjects, especially new groups that are proposed by new editors, rarely remain active for longer than a few months unless there are at least six or eight active editors involved at the time of creation.

This one was created apparently without any prior discussion by the creator. This editor's user talk page is littered with speedy deletion warnings for articles which he created, and even for his own userpage which was WP:U5-deleted as promotional (it was an autobiography promoting Chrisisreed's acting career).

The creator of this project made only ~1200 edits in 6 years before creating this project, and has zero record of collaboration. His edits to the Wikipedia talk namespace amount to a grand total of two edits in six years, both made yesterday to the pages of this new project. His edits to other editors' user talk pages total eight in six years, and six of those eight edits are disputing the deletions of Chrisisreed's prolific creations of articles on non-notable topics. -- Brown Haired Girl (talk) • (contribs) 17:39, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete far too many dead WikiProjects out there. Not helpful. Legacypac (talk) 17:55, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Unnecessary WikiProject. CoolSkittle  (talk) 01:28, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - No evidence of prior discussion, or that this WikiProject is likely to launch. I would prefer that there be some way of discussing the viability of this project other than MFD, but here we are.  Robert McClenon (talk) 06:37, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I think the laxity is found around this page: WikiProject Council/Proposals. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:46, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I was unaware of how to properly propose a WikiProject and have thus taken the proper steps to formally propose WikiProject Warner as a collaborative effort project. Thank you SmokeyJoe for posting the Proposals page. -Chrisisreed (talk)
 * Note that 3½ days after WikiProject Council/Proposals/Warner was opened, the project's creator @Chrisisreed remains the only editor to express interest. -- Brown Haired Girl (talk) • (contribs) 08:55, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
