Wikipedia:WikiProject Outlines/Drafts/Outline of recreation


A broad broad dictionary word. Unsuitable for an outline. Recreation organizations would be a huge list of topics just for sports. "What type of thing is recreation?" is a weird question with no logical answer. Legacypac (talk) 01:44, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep – Being a broad concept topic is actually a good rationale for retaining the page, rather than deleting it. I have copy edited the draft a bit for organization. Can easily be expanded from Category:Recreation. Regarding the notion of "recreation" being a dictionary word, the nominator here could nominate the recreation article for deletion per WP:DICDEF, but I seriously doubt the article would be deleted at AfD under this notion.

 * It is fine to have a page about the topic, and list pages about portions of the broad topic, but an outline on this is going to be unwieldy. Legacypac (talk) 02:16, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Unwieldly isn't really a valid reason to delete, though. For example, if the page were to become very long, it could split, as per WP:SIZERULE. Also, various topical aspects can easily be organized using sections, to ease reading. North America1000 04:55, 24 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment – I have expanded the draft a bit, to provide more content. North America1000 02:20, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. WikiProjects outlines should be archived but not deleted. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:08, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * MfD should not scope-creed to WikiProject Management. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:25, 26 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete - An outline that has empty sections is an abandoned outline, and abandoned outlines do not serve a purpose. A List of abandoned outlines might be sufficient.  Robert McClenon (talk) 00:54, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I have removed the empty sections, which was accomplished by WP:COPYEDITING the draft. North America1000 02:03, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
