WikiProject Colonial Empires
Potentially interesting and useful project, but it has had little if any attention since creation, only two listed members, and at best minimal development. Subject might be better covered elsewhere, perhaps as task forces of the relevant national projects. Both listed members are being notified of this dicussion.

 * Week keep No reason to delete other than not meeting potential is not quite enough for me. Collect (talk) 22:33, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. EuroHistoryTeacher joined after the MfD was opened, showing there's interest in the project. The structure is extremely skeletal, including its banner on only one page at the moment, but it is a start and has potential. Gotyear (talk) 15:38, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Neutral Sadly, the lack of interest would suggest to me that people aren't really interested in joining this project.  The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick t 12:17, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - The stated purpose of a WikiProject is to promote collaboration between multiple editors, so, on that basis, not meeting even that minimal "potential" could be seen as being grounds for the deletion of a project, or perhaps merger to a more active WikiProject.

 * Neutral - If kept then at least move / rename WikiProject Colonial Empires. That is IMO a better and somewhat broader title and would aslo correspond to Portal:Colonialism which seesm to be stganat as well. --Tikiwont (talk) 13:47, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
