WikiProject New York Theatre
Dead project, started back in 2005 and went inactive in 2006 with no activity. JJ98 (Talk)  00:44, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. -- Klein zach  02:38, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, there might have been very little activity on the project, but some work was done and deleting things doesn't actually save us hard drive space. Why bother with it at all when it's tagged as inactive? -- Ned Scott 08:56, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per precedent that we delete any WikiProject that has never had activity. Playing devil's advocate, what do we gain from keeping it? Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 16:17, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment This was previously sent to MfD in 2008, and the consensus was to keep in spite of the inactivity. Although I don't see any pressing need to delete this WikiProject now (what has changed since 2008, other than the passage of time?), I doubt that there's any hope of this project being revived. After all, the articles within its scope surely are also within the scope of WikiProject Musical Theater. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 18:25, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep as tagged. As I said above, there's no pressing need to delete this now (nothing has changed since the last MfD), and Cunard, below, makes a decent case for keeping these pages. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 17:30, 7 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep WikiProject New York Theatre contains valuable history. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York Theatre for example: "I notice that the WikiProject page doesn't even mention that (free) images should be added to all articles. From the four days of my life that I spent in NYC, I found quite a lot of theatre pictures on my hard drive ;-) and uploaded lots of them today, described them (hopefully correctly) and added them (again hopefully correctly) to theatre, and sometimes musical, articles. Maybe you find some errors, or even some more use for the pictures. I appreciate every comment and correction. Some of the photos are not very good, but I think they are at least better than none. I created a category at commons:Category:Theaters in New York City. If you upload your own photos to the Commons, please use this category that is also linked to worldwide theatre building categories and the relevant NY categories. --AndreasPraefcke 20:08, 14 June 2007 (UTC) While I could add images of most Broadway theatre building exteriors to the articles, the following are still in want of recent exterior photographs: *American Airlines Theatre *Longacre Theatre *Manhattan Center *Palace Theatre, New York *Studio 54 Of the off-Broadway houses, I think the following are in an especially urgent want of an image: *Delacorte Theater *Elgin Theater (Joyce Theatre) *Little Shubert Theatre *Lucille Lortel Theatre *New York Theatre Workshop *Theater for the New City *Victoria Theater (New York City) As there are barely any theatre interior photographs at all, do take your cameras with you and upload! --AndreasPraefcke 07:56, 22 June 2007 (UTC)" 's commentary about the lack of photographs in this WikiProject's articles ought to be preserved. Editors who come across this WikiProject may find his comments helpful, in that they are pointed to commons:Category:Theaters in New York City. That this WikiProject and its talk page are useful indicates that the benefits of retaining the WikiProject far outweigh deleting it. Cunard (talk) 23:17, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
