WikiProject Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Project has only one member, who has been inactive for over a month. Project was proposed for merger in May, with no action following. This project page has no content that is not also in WikiProject HHGTTG, which has a good deal of content this project does not. Project member is being notified of this discussion. Personally preference would be to merge the two projects together, preferably under this name, as it is slightly clearer. Regretably, it does not contain the words "Don't panic" in large, friendly letters on the cover. Oh, well. John Carter 16:48, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom into the fully spelled-out title. There's no reason to keep a redundant project lying around. Shalom Hello 20:32, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom into the fully spelled-out title. We do not want two Projects on the same subject. --Bduke 01:22, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge I don't see that this needed discussion, except that it was referred. Just do it.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 02:28, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge. I agree that the more active WikiProject should fully spell out the title. Let's ask them : ) - jc37 20:50, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks like John has done that now, though it also looks like he spoke in support of merger in June on the Project's talk page (it has been tagged for merger since May) and no one responded, his comments stand alone. The participants list has a designated "coordinator" so I'm posting to that editor's talk page, maybe we can at least get a "no objection" out of someone involved in the project.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 18:48, 20 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge but I support Doug's getting a "no objection" from the coordinator. hmwith  talk  21:40, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Note I'm ready to close this out as Merge, deleting WikiProject HHGTTG and making it a redirect to WikiProject Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but can't tell if what needs to be done is already done. — xaosflux  Talk  03:44, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * TO clarify, I "think" what's been said is Delete/Merge WikiProject Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to WikiProject HHGTTG, and then Rename/Move WikiProject HHGTTG to WikiProject Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. - jc37 07:51, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * That is what has been proposed. Unfortunately, we have yet to receive any sort of response from that project. I'm not sure how to proceed in instances like this. I cannot see any real objections from the members of the project regarding the renaming, but I'm not sure whether we would decide in instances like this that silence gives consent. Perhaps, and this might be a reach, it could be assumed that if no objections have been received by at least Saturday, that the other project is effectively inactive and that on that basis there would be no "active" membership to object to the move.

 * Nobody owns any of this, and that goes for projects and "project space". Everyone is on notice and the community of those interested enough to participate has reached consensus (perfect consensus, at that).  If for some really odd reason the receiving project cares, they should've spoken up by now.  Etiquette is satisfied, we should just do it.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 03:41, 27 September 2007 (UTC).
 * Well, I just went through WikiProject Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and all that it seems to have that WikiProject HHGTTG doesn't is a link to the category, links to the sister project searches, and the sister projects boxes at the bottom of the page. The talk page only has two notices from the WikiProject council. Incidentally, though the creator claims on the page that he didn't find a WikiProject for this, he is listed as a member of HHGTTG. I was bold and added the missing information to the latter project. - jc37 08:22, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
