WikiProject Steely Dan
Long since abandoned wikiproject. Only seven members, five of which are inactive since 2007. No relevant discussion about the topic on the talk page at all. This is almost a clone of the former Billy Talent wikiproject, which was just deleted for the same reason.

 * Weak keep - already tagged historical, deletion doesn't save space. –xenotalk 02:25, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * What benefit is there to keeping it? The Billy Talent project was tagged as historical under nearly identical circumstances (only it had 7/9 inactive members instead of 5/7) and it got unanimously deleted.

 * Just because something does get deleted, doesn't necessarily mean that it should have. Since Wikipedia saves exactly zero space deleting these old artifacts, there's no net gain, and possible negatives as outlined below by Graeme. –xenotalk 08:39, 14 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - a project that seemed to be fairly active in the past. The history may as well be visible to any one who cares to look.  Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:59, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
