Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject SZA (2nd nomination)

Wikipedia:WikiProject SZA

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

This is a recently-created, highly niche WikiProject (focusing on a single musical artist) whose creator has since been indefinitely blocked and only has three other participants. It didn't follow the recommended process for creating a wikiproject by proposing it and gathering a group of interested editors before creation. Unfortunately we know from experience that such narrowly-focused wikiprojects are almost never successful and just end up cluttering projectspace and diluting attention from other, broader and more viable, collaborations in the subject area. Creating a SZA task force of WikiProject Music might be an alternative, but again this needs more than a few interested editors to be meaningful. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 15:06, 18 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I didn't notice the previous nomination until now, but it closed as no consensus and I think the reasoning above still holds. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 15:08, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete we do not need an individual WikiProject for a singer. Catfurball (talk) 15:32, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete - I think that my previous !vote for Weak Keep was mistaken because I did not take its out-of-process creation into account. Also, since the first MFD, the originator has been indefinitely blocked by the community.  Remaining good-standing editors should consider a task force.

 * Delete. Wikiproject pages should be those of real and functioning projects, and article talk pages should not have project tags for wikiprojects that were only nominally there but never really got off the ground. Abortive wikiprojects created outside of the recommended process should be deleted.—Alalch E. 21:40, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete I was the one who said in the previous MfD that this should've been created as a task force under a more general WikiProject. Still, there are very few (read: one) people who actually consistently edit SZA-related pages anyway---the rest joined after that MfD---so I don't think even a task force would be useful. This discussion raises a compelling argument about whether we should convert most musician WPs into task forces, and I look forward to seeing where that goes.
