WikiProject Hats and headgear
Inactive for more than a year. Almost all templates deleted. SLSB  talk ER 16:49, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - WikiProject Fashion, which is more active, can easily cover the same territory. John Carter 16:51, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - as you say, inactive; brings back memories though. fabiform 20:38, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - per John Carter. --H| H irohisat  Talk 21:52, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as a now-inactive WikiProject. Acalamari 23:55, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Archive to WikiProject Fashion. For an example of how to do this, see WikiProject Middle-earth/WikiProject Silmarillion. Inactive projects can thus be reactivated in the future if anyone feels like taking up the challenge. Carcharoth 02:02, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Argument against deletion (striking this out and removing long quote as not strictly relevant here Carcharoth 22:40, 26 July 2007 (UTC)) Carcharoth 02:04, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm not seeing much evidence that this Project was ever particularly active, or ever got past planning stages. Can you help me with this Carcharoth? As such, I'm torn between supporting deletion (if never constructively active) and archiving. --kingboyk 22:00, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * This probably isn't a great start at a project, but maybe ask WikiProject Fashion if they want to cannabalize any ideas before getting rid of it. Striking out my argument against deletion and keeping the archive comment. Carcharoth 22:40, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * And I had a closer look. Military headgear and crowns and other ceremonial headgear probably aren't covered by a fashion WikiProject, so WP:MILHIST and WP:BROY seem relevant there. Maybe find out if those WikiProjects are happy to look after headgear-related items, and then get rid of this inactive project? Carcharoth 23:07, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Headgear and Category:Headgear are both interesting. The question seems to be whether other WikiProjects will ever focus on head gear articles, or whether this WikiProject would be useful to any editors wanting to focus on such articles? Carcharoth 23:14, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Speaking for the fashion project, as much as anyone can, sure, we can take some of it. I included headgear articles in the project's initial assessment drive this spring, so most are probably on our radar already. Daniel Case 00:17, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Moved to WikiProject Fashion/WikiProject Hats and Headgear for that WikiProject to deal with as they see fit. For now, I suggest putting up a notice like that seen at WikiProject Middle-earth/WikiProject Silmarillion. Carcharoth 00:29, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
