WikiProjects are typically created when there are multiple interested persons to maintain it. It seems the idea here was just to have one without thought on whether there needed to be one. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 00:51, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete there are far too many Wikiprojects and this one is too narrow Legacypac (talk) 01:11, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep – there are quite a few articles on or related to HBO, and this WikiProject is a convenient navigation tool for surveying them. This WikiProject is not yet finishing. Notability pertains to subjects, not to pages about them, and HBO is notable. In most cases, there are other WikiProjects that are television channel related like Cartoon Network,  Disney,  Nickelodeon, and  BBC.--  Happypillsjr    ✉    01:20, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * You may want to read WikiProject Council/Guide. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 01:27, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - WikiProjects are unlike portals in that they do not require maintenance and do not break badly. They are just discussion pages.  May be useful to a few editors.  Robert McClenon (talk) 14:23, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Note I think the rationale for deletion provided at Miscellany for deletion/WikiProject Warner is applicable here. WikiProjects shouldn't just be created on a whim. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 17:54, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. May be useful if someone decides to restart it. Inactive wikiproject pages are generally not deleted. —  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 19:35, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep for now. It was just created on 7 March 2019‎, and then nominated for deletion one week later. Allow time for it to be expanded, and time for users to actually find and see the project; perhaps some may then join it and utilize its talk page. North America1000 22:04, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * My understanding has always been that WikiProjects have to be approved based on having multiple interested editors involved. I did not know I could create however many WikiProjects I wanted and hope other people come along and start taking part. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 22:27, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Most Wikiprojects are gathering tumbleweed, and new ones should not be created unless there is a demonstrably extant group of editors actively collaborating on the topic. I see no evidence that such is the case here. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:38, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete The editor did not follow the process spelled out at WikiProject Council/Guide. The text from WikiProject Council/Proposals is key: "If you do not have a group of people, then you do not have a WikiProject," (emphasis in the original). UnitedStatesian (talk) 22:46, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
