WikiProject creation trends
Project started in 2005, marked inactive same year. No list of members, no discussions, just two graphs. -- Klein zach  22:55, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete The creator claims it's not a WikiProject per say, but this is an obvious non-starter. OSbornarfcontribs. 23:14, 31 March 2011 (UTC) Potentially historical so OSbornarfcontribs. 02:47, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Useful historical information about the creation of WikiProjects. This page is not itself a WikiProject, so there is no reason for it to have a list of members or project-related discussions. Editors who don't pay attention to what the page is have repeatedly tagged it as an "inactive" project, and the nomination here seems to repeat that error. I've restored the "historical" tag and added a hatnote to forestall this mistake in the future. --RL0919 (talk) 04:43, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Nonetheless the page does say 'WikiProject'. Can you recommend some kind of WikiNiche when it can be curated? -- Klein zach  05:26, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * If it is just the name that creates a problem, then something like Statistics on WikiProject creation (or some variation like that) seems a reasonable title. --RL0919 (talk) 06:24, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would help. I'd support Rename to Statistics on WikiProject creation. -- Klein zach  11:43, 1 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep nominated without even looking at what the page said? It's pretty clear that this isn't a WikiProject. -- Ned Scott 08:58, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Perfectly acceptable essay relating to the project.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:11, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep-- per above. -- E♴  (talk)  14:54, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
