We aren't Citizendium
This essay documents the nature and idea behind the creation of the separate project Citizendium, which attempts to create an encyclopedia that is better than Wikipedia. As it is not directly working with or affiliated with Wikipedia (perhaps a candidate to transwiki to Meta for documentation?) we do not need this essay. Why waste time creating an essay just to counter the opposition from another website (see Citizendium’s version which this essay is meant to reflect) or to make accusations against it or even to mention it? We do not have an essay on Uncyclopedia or even Conservapedia for example. So why this? :| TelCo NaSp  Ve :|  05:56, 5 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep While I don't know if it should stay in the location that it is in, this page most definitely has information that is worth keeping. The argument that there isn't a page like this for Conservapedia or Uncyclopedia is idiotic; the fact that one hasn't been created does not mean that one cannot be created. Again, I'm not entirely sure where this should go if it shouldn't be where it is, but the information is certainly worth keeping.  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 20:48, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Userfy Doesn't make sense in project space, but essays are allowed to express any opinion, and essay MfD's are a personal pet peeve of mine unless there is a very good reason to delete. access_denied (talk) 00:49, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Why doesn't it make sense in the project namespace? It seems entirely to do with the project. Uncle G (talk) 08:51, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Citizendium isn't part of this project. Like Conservapedia, its only mentioned in passing, and often as a comparison, for which this essay serves to do. :| TelCo  NaSp  Ve :|  20:42, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It compares it to this project. As I said, the page seems entirely to do with this project.  Uncle G (talk) 23:29, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Reads like a tit-for-tat neener neener essay, honestly, and serves no purpose other than to poke a stick at the failed project of a former Wikipedia co-founder, even riffing off the name for their essay.  This would be like Burger King releasing a bulleted list of why you shouldn't go to the local diner. Tarc (talk) 14:30, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a longstanding, many-authored, project related essay.  Tarc's concerns should be fixed by editing.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:23, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per SmokeyJoe and Uncle G - relevant information for project space, I see no reason to delete. JohnCD (talk) 16:03, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Perfectly suitable essay for project space. Nothing wrong with it being a tit-for-tat essay. Fences  &amp;  Windows  23:27, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
