Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject San Francisco Bay Area/Translation


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result of the debate was Keep as historical - nominator changed position and tagged article historical based on the relatively large number of incoming links, although not dispositive, that combined with the weak to no consensus makes this a keep as tagged.

WikiProject San Francisco Bay Area/Translation
Project sub-page that never really got off the ground. Created and only one other significant edit since February 2007, the remaining edits were me categorizing into the project, two edits by a spammer, and one of me reverting. Redundant in concept to Translation. - Optigan13 (talk) 04:33, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Tag as historical –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  14:06, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - I looked at Template talk:Historical, but did not find any clarification between tagging as historical and when to delete (perhaps someone would be so kind as to add such clarification to the template usage documentation.). In any event, there does not seem to be much history in the page worth preserving. -- Suntag (talk) 01:23, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Tag as historical or redirect somewhere useful. Internal organisation of activities, whether wikiprojects or project space activity, is and should not normally be deleted.  It could be re-used, or used to learn from, perhaps as an example of what not to do.  The lack of extensive history just means that the storage costs will only be a small fraction of negligible.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:39, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Tagging as historical doesn't make sense as it never got started. Tavix (talk) 19:16, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Which would make more sense: making this into a redirect towards Translation; adding the historical banner and a see Translation for further information; or some other solution? I just noticed a link to this was included as part of the old welcome template so there are many inbound links from user talk pages, so not sure how to handle this page since creating a redlink may be confusing. -Optigan13 (talk) 19:49, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
