WikiProject Kolkata


An inactive WikiProject that does not work on articles, rather a fan page, and no collaborative work shown. It hugely relies on WP:INDIA and even uses it's assessment tag. It also does not have any members. I had started a discussion on the talk page, and there is no response, so I'm taking this to MFD. Dipankan ( Have a chat? ) 15:21, 16 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - Looks like the WikiProject was based on an August 2011 idea of Jayantanth that never took. I don't see a WikiProject Council/Proposals/WikiProject Kolkata or a WikiProject Council/Proposals/Kolkata link. (also, nothing here). WikiProject Kolkata could be added as a task force of a parent WikiProject and use that parent WikiProject's templates, categories, etc. Portal:Kolkata looks a little stale and unused as well. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 15:48, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge with WP:WikiProject West Bengal. Never-active WikiProjects should be folded into the lowest-level applicable WikiProject that has some activity. Achowat (talk) 15:23, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge with WP:WikiProject India, "West Bengal" doesn't look very active, might also do better merged with WP:India. 70.49.127.65 (talk) 04:59, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to the India wikiproject, per above. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:37, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Can the nominator or the fellow contributors explain what exactly do they want to merge from here ? Even the template for WP Kolkata is a template of WP:WikiProject West Bengal. From what i see, there is effectively nothing to merge and the page can safely be deleted. All the articles that are in the scope of Kolkata are already in the scope of WP Bengal. So I guess the closing ADmin will not have much to do. -- D Big X ray  11:56, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment the template for this WPP is the template for WPINDIA. As for what to merge, there is the project page, explaining significant articles about Calcutta and its portal page, and having a userbox. Generally, I think that major cities of the world, should a WPP be created, and not be active, be merged back to their country projects. -- 70.49.127.65 (talk) 06:27, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The template for it is which is a WPINIDA tepmplate used for Wikiproject Bengal articles. I dont find any explanation on articles. The Article statistics is copied from WP:India. Its generally preferred to merge but for a merger we at least need to have something to merge. -- D Big X ray   06:39, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
