WikiProject The Wire


Dead project, this project has only 11 members and with one featured promoted back in 2006. JJ98 (Talk)  03:26, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep and tag inactive per Miscellany_for_deletion (which you really need to start heeding, JJ98). ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WikiProject Japan ! 16:33, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Nomination is appropriate. Miscellany_for_deletion explains the alternatives to tagging. Nihonjoe should carefully check each Mfd on a case by case basis to see which solution is likely to work best. -- Klein zach  00:28, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The words "which you really need to start heeding, JJ98" have been added to no less than six of these Mfds. I'm raising this on the talk page, see here. -- Klein zach  01:06, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I replied there, too. It doesn't matter how many they were added to when the comments are applicable in all six of those cases. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WikiProject Japan ! 06:22, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Your comments were directed to the nominator not the nominations — so they were hardly 'applicable'. -- Klein zach  23:27, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * My comments were directed at both, so please stop harassing me. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WikiProject Japan ! 05:23, 19 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirect to WikiProject Television or taskforce (but only if TV want it). Another overnarrow project devoted to an American TV series. When this started in 2008, someone commented "Wouldn't it be more appropriate as a taskforce of WP:TV?" Nothing has changed. There were only 11 members and minimal discussions. -- Klein zach  00:30, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep and leave tagged as inactive. Yes it is a narrow focus but it is a popular show with significant critique and out-of-universe material floating around out there. 11 members is alot compared with some wikiprojects. There is one Featured Article associated with this subject matter. Collaborative editing is what wikipedia is supposed to be about, and this approach directly undermines that. Tagging as inactive saves some future collaborators reinventing the wheel. Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:54, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. No valid reason for deletion provided.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:22, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
