Improving Wikipedia
This was just a germ of an idea, 4.5 years ago. No inward links or activity to speak of. Now covered by WP:VPD. Rd232 talk 23:04, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Village pump (development). --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:33, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * That page is has been nominated for deletion as well. Immunize (talk) 17:53, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * That page doesn't look likely to be deleted any time soon. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:43, 26 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Somewhat similar to village pumps, feel that little improvement could be attained. Immunize (talk) 17:53, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Village pump (development) I agree with Joe above. Outback the koala (talk) 03:06, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - inactive and no useful content. There are no notable incoming links to this page, so redirecting would be creating a WP:CSD "R3. Implausible typos." Peter 17:11, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Doing an advanced search for "improving wikipedia" in projectspace is not implausible.  Such a search should come up with Village pump (development).  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:12, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with your first point, such as search is not implausable. However, I disagree that such a search should come up with VPD. There are many other pages that are at least as important to improving Wikipedia than that one. The search results you link to list some of them... I don't think any one in particular is more 'deserving' of an extra redirect, and I don't think people typing in 'Improving Wikipedia' are looking for VPD, so I stand by my view that this page should be deleted and not redirected.

 * From what you say, I think we should turn Improving Wikipedia into a projectspace DAB page, linking to the pages you think are important. You didn't say which ones... I'm hoping to catch your thoughts before you move on.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:43, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Well I did consider that option. I was thinking that there would be so many pages that could be linked from it that it wouldn't be of any use, on reconsidering I thought maybe it could work with things like a link to a list of Wikiprojects (I'm assuming such a page exists...), a link to different tasks you can do, etc. Then I realised that's basically what Community portal is. So if the closing admin is particularly keen to see Improving Wikipedia stay blue I say redirect to Community portal, but I don't see a great deal of point in it, and would still just delete. But I don't think it really matters that much so I'll leave it at that :) Peter 08:50, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
