WikiProject Notability/Listing by project
I don't think that this page and it's subpages are necessary. One all of the information is available elsewhere (Category:Articles with topics of unclear notability). Another thing is that this page, and all subpages (see below) seem to be contrary to the definition of a wiki (filled with "don't edit these pages" messages). Three, due to the above mentioned problem, when Wikiprojects are deleted such as WP:Wproj it "cannot be updated".

Also these pages should be deleted as well.

 * Strong keep -- this is a maintenance tool and is quite a useful and well received sub-project of WikiProject Notability. See discussion. Response from the projects notified has been very positive. I really don't see the point in deleting something that has proved very useful in combatting the massive (15,000+) article backlog. Jfire (talk) 03:50, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. If WikiProject Notability finds it useful, then it should be kept. The reasons for the nomination do not stack up. It is the main space that is the wiki. Projects pages can have non-edited pages if they are useful. All lists taken as a snap shot of the database are best left unedited. --Bduke (talk) 03:56, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep (note: I created those pages). First, the information is not readily available elsewhere - it's the result of a database query which takes several hours to complete, and cannot be performed on the live Wiki. Second, the pages shouldn't be edited because they cannot consistently be updated manually, and also because changes might be overwritten at any time, whenever a data update is posted. This is explained on the page - however, if there's really a problem with the "don't edit" messages, I can certainly alter them. Third, as explained on the very page, the listing shows a historical snapshot, and thus may (consistently) contain listings for deleted Wikiprojects. These will be removed with the next data update. --B. Wolterding (talk) 07:26, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep it's a very useful set of pages. Involving the Wikiprojects in notability problems in their areas is a step along the way to doing deletions rationally. DGG (talk) 20:59, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - The pages are used to support an innovative approach to tackling the notability backlog -- involving relevant WikiProjects. As for the restriction on editing, see WikiProject Notability/Listing by project for an explanation. Black Falcon (Talk) 16:15, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong, even speedy, Keep No formative reason given to delete, and I can't think of any other reasons why these lists should go. Keep arguments here are valid and convincing.   Keeper   |   76   |   Disclaimer  19:45, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
