Wikipedia:WikiProject Years/Review

 * – (View MfD)

Proposal to test community opinions regarding deletion. A whole batch of these types of pages was created in 2009, maybe when WikiProjects were more slightly active? The vast majority are completely unused.

Take for example this page - completely unused since creation in 2009; has a number of subpages that are also unedited. These pages:
 * 1) Create needless overhead for projects to collate, maintain, watch, update, etc.
 * 2) Are unnecessary, because there are existing venues for review (WP:PR, WP:FA) and requests for wikiproject involvement would be better placed on the main pages
 * 3) Are unwatched and unused
 * 4) Encourage a sense of wikiproject ownership; whereas actual reviews should be open to all who wish to participate

I have randomly selected this page and will also contact the relevant Wikiproject. I'd like to hear what other Wikipedians think. Tom (LT) (talk) 01:35, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. Not even a hint of a valid reason to delete. This is not cleanup, it is destruction. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:23, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
