Wikipedia:WikiProject Ricky Martin

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

Appears to be a one-participant WikiProject created without going through the procedures per WikiProject Council/Proposals. As it states there, the most important thing before starting a project is "to start with numerous interested editors committed to collaborating on a topic."

 * Ok, please give me a few days and I will try to find some people to join me. Plus I saw some similar Wikiprojects such as WikiProject Jennifer Lopez that only had one participant, while they are also inactive. But I myself I am active in this peoject and this project helps me to have a good observation on the articles related to Ricky Martin and it will help me to focus on my edits. I just worked on Tiburones and Cántalo and now they are good articles. This project really helps me and I really worked hard on it and spent a few days just to make it complete. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 22:12, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The Jennifer Lopez WikiProject has had a number of participants and also went through the proper procedures prior to creation (see WikiProject Council/Proposals/Jennifer Lopez). Thanks. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 22:31, 19 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Six WikiProjects are tagged on Talk:Ricky Martin. How about try coordinating them? —SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:02, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * If this is deleted, please also delete Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Ricky Martin articles by quality log and Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Ricky Martin articles by quality statistics (as well as a bunch of other pages that are discussed at forums other than MfD which I'll nominate elsewhere) * Pppery * it has begun... 01:42, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Please give me a few days I will ask other people who are interested to join me. Today is the New Year's Day (Nowruz) in my country and I don't have time. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 10:13, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment — Should the project find other participants, than it can be kept, as WP:NOTBUREAU would apply with regards to not going through WikiProject Council/Proposals. —  csc -1 15:19, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - I see more harm getting rid of all of these things than I do giving the project a fighting chance. I would revisit the issue on April 6, 2021 when the project is a month old. If no additional people join then my comfortable opinion would be a solid delete. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:10, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep as a premature nomination. I'm not very inclined to support these sorts of tiny WikiProjects, but this is way too soon. Vaticidalprophet 07:12, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - Although Ricky Martin is very notable in latino music, the articles can be gathered into a portal, not a WikiProject. However, It's too soon to delete this WikiProject. The deletion proposal can be re-issued when the WikiProject gets inactive. An example: Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Camila Cabello (2nd nomination). -- BrandNew Jim Zhang   (talk)  13:30, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - There appears to be at least 5 participants now in the project. While its a low number, I feel that the nominator's concern is met here as the project appears to be heading in the right direction. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:56, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per nom. The nomination is not premature; the project is premature. The reason we have guidelines is to keep over-enthusiastic editors from finding themselves in deep holes because they got the cart before the horse. Ignoring institutional wisdom because it can be ignored just encourages more recklessness by this user. But if it must be kept, at least downgrade it to a task force, and place it under an active project where it can be shepherded properly. BilCat (talk) 19:23, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't see any relevant guidelines which prohibit new wiki-projects. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:57, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Not what I said. BilCat (talk) 21:34, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry sir, I don't know why you're talking about me this way. I just created this project to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Ricky Martin. He's a notable artist in Latin Music, and his article (Ricky Martin) has received over 11 million views. Plus, he has many releases and there are many related articles to him and I thought creating a wikiproject for him is a good idea, as many other notable artists have wikiprojects. That's all. I know I'm not an expert and I'm not as professional as you are, your majesty. I just try to improve wikipedia articles and myself. I promise that I'm not reckless and ignoring this won't "encourage more recklessness" by me. I'm sorry if I had done something wrong that made you think about me this way. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 16:18, 29 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep for now, with no prejudice against renomination in say 6 months to a years time. Give it a chance to get started, if in 6 months it's inactive then consider merging it to someplace like WikiProject Musicians. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 11:11, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, I joined the project. Creator is active in improving articles and helping them reach GA status. I've made some edits to articles on this project and plan to add sources and content, as needed. --The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 12:30, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
