WikiProject Cartoon Network
Project was started back in 2007 by Driveus, and went inactive in 2010 by Baa (aka Treelo). I tried to revive the project, and so far none. The only problem is that the Cartoon Network WikiProject is losing lack of interest. Noting worth keeping since the project went inactive. Most of the Cartoon Network characters and episodes got deleted due to lack of sources (like Dexter from Dexter's Lab and Courage from Courage the Cowardly Dog which was redirect and deleted).

 * Comment If this is deleted, most of the redirects to this page/project should be retargeted to WikiProject Animation, especially WP:TOON, and any redirect with "Cartoon" or a variant in it. D O N D E groovily   Talk to me  20:15, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree, I think that WP:ANIMATION handles many work groups like Pixar and American American work group. I think that's strange idea to have many most of the Animation WikiProjects, like WikiProject The Simpsons, WikiProject SpongeBob SquarePants, WikiProject Futurama and WikiProject Family Guy. If WP:TOON redirects to WP:ANIMATION, I possibly merge into WikiProject Animation as nominator and set as a task force/work group. JJ98 (Talk)  20:49, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete non-trivial discussion but it's almost all self-referential. No interested editors anymore, particularly since Baa/Treelo and Yngvarr drove the majority of the discussion and editing but are both now retired (sadly). Also, there are what? 30-40 shows, a couple episode lists and that's about it, right? Not a whole lot to go on, particularly when articles like Regular Show consist almost entirely of me constantly reverting vandalism.

 * Weak Delete although I agree that someone needs to follow through on redirecting any articles. I think this one might also be a good candidate for archiving but Ill keep watching the comments and possibly change my vote late. --Kumioko (talk) 00:19, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Mark as historical with redirect note to WP:ANIMATION stating its still active - lots was done by this project and there is quite the amount of history that would be lost if deleted that includes Style guidelines that had to reach consensus (this should not be deleted).Moxy (talk) 01:21, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with you Moxy, I want to mark the project as historical along with Style guidelines so it doesn't get deleted. I may possibly start a Cartoon Network work group of WP:ANIMATION, so long as Portal:Cartoon Network will not be deleted. JJ98 (Talk)  02:55, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Portal:Cartoon Network was deleted. I don't know if that will change anyone's tune regarding this project. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 17:22, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know TPH, I requested for speedy deletion myself, along with Book:Cartoon Network and Book:Cartoon Cartoons. I have also split and converted Adult Swim task force into a WikiProject to try to attract the Adult Swim fans for attention. JJ98 (Talk)  21:09, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep We do not delete WikiProjects simply for being inactive. This project has TONS of talk page history. So much stuff is worth keeping for this project that I'm very tempted to just speedy close this as keep. -- Ned Scott 09:40, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per the extensive discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cartoon Network/Archive index. Deleting this WikiProject would not be beneficial to Wikipedia. Cunard (talk) 02:02, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep because this was a very active project in the past, with many members and plenty of talk page history. I note Portal:Cartoon Network has been re-created (by JJ98, who initiated this MfD). I further note that JJ98 wrote above that he wants "to mark the project as historical along with Style guidelines so it doesn't get deleted." Given all of this, I think that this a pretty clear-cut case of a WikiProject that shouldn't have been nominated for deletion in the first place and should just remain where it is, as tagged.
