Book Club
Hasn't been touched in over a year, and Wikipedia is not a book club. Cyde Weys 01:29, 25 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete What are we Oprah? Pegasus1138 Talk 01:50, 25 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete Has someone mistaken Wikipedia for ezboard? This is an encyclopedia.  To the last voter, I'd say this is a little less like Oprah and a little more like Oprah on South Park. DougOfDoom   talk  02:26, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Now obsolete, never very popular. Xoloz 04:32, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. There could be a WikiProject to write articles on interesting and notable books, but this (even given its wikillustrious signatories) seems dead in the water. Martinp 22:00, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and tag as . This is basically an inactive wikiproject, so it should be kept. There is no policy that WP:NOT Oprah. :P -- Tantalum T  e  lluride  01:28, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I figure it would be pretty tough for someone to confuse us with the Oprah book club, that's probably why it isn't a section of WP:NOT. Pegasus1138 Talk 02:05, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I was being sarcastic about Oprah. Seriously, though, the project was more than a book club. It was a collaborative project to imrove Wikipedia articles about books. That's why I think we should consider keeping it. -- Tantalum T  e  lluride  03:56, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

 * This project page is now obsolete and replaced with the standardized WikiProject Books. As such, this thing can be deleted, but in case anyone still uses this link, a redirect is also possible. Sjakkalle (Check!)  09:17, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Being kept and tagged as historical sounds okay to me too. We shouldn't necessarily be deleting all of our history :-) So long as it's clear that it's inactive and that Wikipedia is not a bookclub.  -- Cyde Weys  19:04, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
