WikiProject EduTech


Dead project, this has only ten members. JJ98 (Talk)  03:15, 4 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Why on earth would a dead project need to be deleted? It's project history. Just mark it inactive like the hundreds of others.  Skomorokh   06:31, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to Education project. Failed project only active between April and July 2008. No hope of resuscitation. -- Klein zach  06:35, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Seriously, why is the project bettered by the deletion of this collaboration? Per WP:INACTIVEWP, "In rare cases, deletion may be appropriate. This might be appropriate for completely inactive projects which have no substantive history and serve no residual purpose even without activity (e.g., due to automation or information presented)." [emphases mine] This page has clear historical value and is by no means a rare case requiring the extreme measures. Suggesting it be deleted seems both unnecessary and a slight to the volunteers who documented their ambitions and expressed their interest.  Skomorokh   14:08, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * This is an encyclopedia not a museum. New editors will be discouraged if they find half the WikiProjects are dead. If you want to record the history of WP, that's absolutely fine, but the WP namespace is not an appropriate place for this! Thanks. -- Klein  zach  03:32, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It is standard practice here to keep old discussions for historical reasons. Hut 8.5 08:30, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - it's already marked inactive; just leave it that way for the history. Lady  of  Shalott  13:14, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect-- per Kleinzach. -- E♴  (talk)  13:53, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep we do not delete Wikiprojects just because they are inactive, we keep them for historical reasons and as an aid in case the project is revived. If the project never had any activity that's a different matter, but that's not the case here. Hut 8.5 14:36, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
