Extant Organizations/Noticeboard


Completely unused noticeboard with less than thirty watchers. I'm honestly not sure what this is for, and I'm not the only one judging by previous discussion. It's been in existence for about eleven months and has only five posts. There's no practical reason for this to exist.  Kharkiv07 Talk  18:27, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. I have been following this board since its creation.  I understand its purpose, but it has a terrible name and never came close to being useful to the Wikipedia community.  It's long past time to retire it.  Andrew327 18:40, 24 April 2015 (UTC)


 * The noticeboard was meant to be like BLPN, just for groups of people rather than individual people. Shame it didn't work out. Don't delete, add to Category:Inactive_project_pages instead as per long standing practice. 108.255.216.79 (talk) 18:46, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. The page is useful, and would be/will be more useful when we actually have more articles which relate to the topic than we do today. A lot of people have been afraid of creating articles on companies because of possible COI claims if they did. I hope in the next few months we can establish some good reference sources to establish notability of some groups and indicate some of the basic content pages on them should have. Maybe we could mark it as "inactive," but it was created as a way to make it easier to deal with a content area which was and is remarkably underdeveloped, and it should become more useful when the relevant content to which it relates is more widely developed.

 * Delete Extant organizations are not living persons, and their articles are subject to WP:GNG like any other. Problems can be (and have been) handled at WP:RSN.  Mini  apolis  02:37, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as redundant noticeboard, IMHO it looks like it was doomed from the start anyway, We could mark as "historical" or list it under some category but lets be honest It won't remembered in a year nor missed so I say Delete. – Davey 2010 Talk 15:46, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as essentially unused.  Sandstein   07:35, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
