WikiProject California/Santa Barbara County task force


completely inactive wikiproject task force. all the articles are of course tagged with the cali wikiproject, so nothing will be lost but this specific, now useless tag. the editor list dates to 2007. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:33, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep inactive or redirect to WP:CAL if needed, same with participant list. No significant benefit to deleting an inactive project. -Optigan13 (talk) 02:45, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep and mark as inactive/historical given that this was part of a once functioning and active wikiproject. -- Whpq (talk) 18:26, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment im definitely ok with keep as historical, as long as links are redirected to the cali project.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 21:57, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Reply - I'd say that what happens to the links need to be handled on a case-by-case basis. The links in article talk pages are presumably from WikiProject California tags with "santabarbaracounty=yes" set.  These would need the santabarbara county tags removed assuming WikiProject Californis agrees.  The link from WikiProject California is already noted there as inactive and would need no change.  Other pages such as WikiProject Cities which refer to it as if it were still active should probably remove the link, and user talk pages should be left as is. -- Whpq (talk) 23:52, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the good info. that helps, i didnt want people too easily using it if its inactive.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 00:45, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep The main effect of the deletion of a Wikiproject is to hide the edit histories from general users.  Also hidden is "what links here" and any discussion on talk pages.  General users are just as much experts as administrators.  Anything else can be done with bold edits, and if there is objection, talk page discussion with the involved editors.  If there is no one who wants to boldly mark these pages historical, it appears there is no need for any edits whatsoever.  Unscintillating (talk) 19:48, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
