Twenty-five-million pool
Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. As of this post, the current number of pages on Wikipedia is 3,583,113 and that history is insufficient to provide any non crystal ball prediction about 25,000,000 pages. As a result, this guessing game at present offers zero ability to improve the encyclopedia. See WP:NOTGAMEHOST. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 13:05, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, at least for now. I know it's highly unlikely that anyone will agree with me, but this page doesn't violate WP:CRYSTAL, as it is probably 'for fun' only. I believe such a pool has value; for example, one might suggest 'BLP problems in Wikipedia' as the 25 000 000th page to raise awareness of BLP problems. Fun also makes people stay. If this page develops into something against policy (eg purely used for POV-pushing and personal attacks), then it could be deleted in the future.  Kayau  Voting  IS   evil 16:09, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:CRYSTAL only applies to articles, so that argument is irrelevant, and WP:NOTGAMEHOST allows for the creation of Wikipedia-related humour pages in the project namespace. Humour pages have value in that they promote a better editing environment. Hut 8.5 19:51, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia now has a linear growth rate, so the next pool to be created should be the Eight-million pool. Georgia guy (talk) 16:42, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. As per Georgia guy. Only open a new pool when the count reaches 50%. HenkvD (talk) 19:11, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Looking a little too far ahead. We already have Twenty-million pool, and even that's way premature considering we're only at 3.5 million. -- &oelig; &trade; 21:23, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTGAMEHOST. -- Klein zach  07:08, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
