WikiProject North Korea
Vote fraud detected in the last nomination in which three votes should have been disqualified for vote rigging (all three username account being operate by one single individual User:LS C HIST, who has been BLOCKED for sock evasion and operating a large sockfarm of 29 usernames in total). Apparently, this despicable act of vote fraud was enough to swing one vote from nay to aye. Hence, following my usual bold style, this renewed nomination to address the fault previously encountered.

 * DELETE & REDIRECT: As mentioned by User:Hut 8.5, might be worth creating a redirect at this title and that there is no need to duplicate the efforts of the established group WikiProject Korea/North Korea just so that someone with a big ego (in direct reference to the abovementioned BLOCKED individual) can satisfy their own desire for a one-man-show without a scant regard to the integrity of Wikipedia as a collaborative community. -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 09:55, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete/redirect per the previous nomination. MER-C 10:20, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete/redirect per my arguments last time. There is no point in having two Wikiprojects doing the same thing, and the Korea wikiproject is both larger and better established. This project has one member who has now been indefinitely blocked for abusive sockpuppetry and isn't likely to go any further. If it is considered necessary to have seperate wikiprojects for North and South Korea then the appropriate thing to do would be to split the existing Korean wikiproject by making the North and South task forces into new projects. WikiProject South Korea ought to be deleted/redirected as well. Hut 8.5 11:53, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep And I agree that the prior one was properly disregarded as being "false consensus". The problem is that the editor was apparently trying to make the project work, so I tend to allow the benefit of the doubt for such an effort.  There are many overlapping projects on WP, so the mere fact of overlap is not sufficient grounds, in itself, for deletion.

 * FYI, it might seem to you that User:LS C HIST (note: he has been BLOCKED indefinitely!) was trying to make the "project" work but in real fact, he was only putting up a smokescreen and had been using a big sockfarm to rigged the votes as well as other unrelated edits (including a couple of image file copyvios), that kind of behaviour to me is not conducive to the proper conduct and collective collaborations within the community itself, this is not a one-man-show. In hindsight, what he has done is nothing less than hurting the community at large through his disruptive/tendentious editing behavioural pattern. -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 14:15, 2 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. My keep vote last time around assumed the creator was acting in good faith and planned on being constructive. The project could be developed into something promising with the right editor, but delete the WikiProject created by proven sock. If there's a need, someone useful will create it again.

 * Redirect to WikiProject Korea/North Korea. WikiProject Korea has a North Korea work group that covers articles related to North Korea. JJ98 (Talk) 21:17, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete & redirect. Wow.  Please ensure redirect so that folks like me can get to the right place in the future.  Was totally fooled by the existence of the "project" site; didn't even know about the legitimate one.  Had even contributed to the "false" site.  Hope that didn't burn any bridges over at the "real" site.  Would like to contribute to the "real" site as a member of that project community.  Wow.  So completely floored that an entire "project" subsite would be created out of thin air!  Saebvn (talk) 22:40, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete & redirect How in the world did the closing admin miss the sock farm? Anyway, why should we afford him that good faith to other editors when he has used so many socks, and seemed not to abide by policy, deceived others, and falls short of a bit of competence? :| TelCo  NaSp  Ve :|  06:44, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete/Redirect Deletion is probably best to ensure that this doesn't pop back up when he makes some more socks. Gigs (talk) 03:34, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to WikiProject Korea/North Korea seems obvious, although this should be a Wikipedia:WikiProject talk page discussion. WikiProject mergers should not be handled as MfD discussions.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:59, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
