Description
A wikiproject for improving all articles related to IBM.

List of important pages and categories for this proposed group

 * IBM
 * Category:IBM and basically all articles in this and subcategories. There are hundreds of articles.

List of WikiProjects currently on the talk pages of those articles

 * WikiProject computing
 * WikiProject technology

Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?
To have a project that makes collaborating on this group of articles easier. Currently there are discussions about IBM related subjects that are spread out over a lot of different talk pages which could benefit from a Wikiproject.

Discussion

 * At this point I oppose creation of this project. I see no attempt either of you have made to first consolidate the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Companies, which has 103 participants, over 50 times as many as the two of you.  Please try first to use the existing collaborations resources before determining they are inadequate to the task.  Best, UnitedStatesian (talk) 05:20, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * @UnitedStatesian Well, IBM related articles don't do all fit within the scope of that Wikiproject. There are a lot of articles about computer related subjects about IBM that aren't about business and company related things. This new Wikiproject could encompass them all.

 * I would suggest Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing for those topics. Don't knock either option until you have tried it. 13:35, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
