Wikipedians interested in women on Wikipedia


This noticeboard/project has been inactive since June 2006 (all subsequent edits are minor) and has no incoming links except those created by this MfD nomination. I also do not believe that the current content is worth preserving as the basis for a future project.

The page's title suggests that it is a forum for those interested in female Wikipedians, though that is not its actual purpose (to be honest, I'm not really sure what the actual purpose is). As a project for improving articles about women's rights, it is redundant to WikiProject Gender Studies. As a project for affecting the "representation of women on Wikipedia/Wikimedia", it is unproductive (the last thing we need are formal pressure groups), overly bureaucratic, and possibly divisive (the article mentions something about "building a Women's Wikipedia community"). So, in short, I think the page ought to be deleted. Black Falcon (Talk) 01:23, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete, what the hell? Riana ⁂  17:00, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. If this is supposed to improve coverage about women's rights, it seems redundant to WikiProject Gender Studies and possibly other established WikiProjects. Furthermore, there seems to be some confusion on the page about WP:NOT. -- Kyok o  17:06, 16 June 2007 (UTC), reworded a bit 17:23, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
