WikiProject Slayer
Inactive WikiProject for one single music band. Qsaw (talk) 16:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That's a tough one. Nothing in over a month but the project has eight featured articles, so it's at least served some purpose. Not being a fan of the band, I'm not biased toward keeping it, but I think that if some members were recruited back into it the project could become active again. Thus, I say Tentative keep pending activity. -- tennis man  16:56, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 *  Tag inactive Keep for now given the eight FAs, if there is no activity for a time after that, then it should be brought back here. --Core desat 17:40, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. The content remains useful and attractively presented, even if it's not updated anymore. The Fat Man Who Never Came Back (talk) 17:46, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep but tag as inactive. Project can be proposed for merger to the Metal project later. -- John Carter (talk) 19:48, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Inactivity is not a reason to delete from existence a legitimate, (formerly) successful WikiProject. Either mark it inactive or move it to a task force of the parent Project.  Only frivolous, useless, duplicate, etc., WikiProjects should be brought for MfD.  Preserve the past.--12 N oo n 22:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - Me and the other contributor have just been busy over the past few months. We're currently working on Dave Lombardo for FA, and I'll be submitting South of Heaven for FA in near future. We fully intend to add to our tally of eight. We've done all we can for most articles, and have done a sterling job considering the lack of material out there. LuciferMorgan (talk) 02:00, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Would the nominator consider withdrawing the MfD, as the above "devil-user" states they intend to maintain the project?--12 N oo n 02:13, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Not only concern is that this project is inactive but that this project is about one single band while there is no project about the subgenre of the music that this band is playing (thrash metal). --Qsaw (talk) 02:56, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * There is no other WikiProject about one single music band, as far as I can tell, so this is ridiculous. --Qsaw (talk) 03:12, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * WikiProject:My Chemical Romance, WikiProject:GreenDay, WikiProject:The Smashing Pumpkins, WikiProject:Red Hot Chili Peppers, and WikiProject:The Flaming Lips, Wikiproject: Trivium, good to see you looked and i can get more if you wish. What do you have against this band anyway? first you try and get the page moved to Slayer (band) and now this. At least we are improving articles. M3tal H3ad (talk) 04:06, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - This project is not inactive, a small scope is not a problem, especially when you have more than 5 members (the general criteria for initial creation) and they are actually editing.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 05:40, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I have removed the inactive tag. This project had two new members in August and September, a pretty good sign that they're active.  Unless the participants aren't actually editing articles in this topic, this project is definitely active.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 05:44, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - project has done good work and appears to be active per LuciferMorgan above. -- Beloved Freak  14:27, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep the WIkiProject has a decent history to justify keeping it. Acalamari 23:32, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
