The proposed WikiProject was not created

List of important pages and categories for this proposed group
 * psychedelic music (number of pages in the category: 21; several hundreds more in subcategories)
 * psychedelic songs
 * psychedelic musicians
 * category (number of pages in the category: 456)
 * psychedelic songs
 * psychedelic musicians
 * category (number of pages in the category: 456)


 * List of WikiProjects currently on the talk pages of those articles
 * Please invite these and any other similar groups to join the discussion about this proposal. See WikiProject_Council/Directory to find similar WikiProjects.




 * Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?
 * There is no specfic project for psychedelic music. With a WP for psychedelia, the articles will have better cover. The above four WPs are too general for working on articles for a specific genre/scene/style.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 01:39, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Discussion
Definitely a huge and important project. Wiki pages have been lacking on this forever. How do you propose to proceed? I suggest starting with definitions, history, and then dissection of genres. Goal: re-writing most pages in the category. Best Wishes!Learner001 (talk) 17:41, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

I dont know if the project is inactive, but I would like to help! The project page definitely needs some "work" (Templates...) and the project obviously needs more members. Hit me up if you need help. Cheers WikiEditCrunch (talk) 22:56, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Taskforce/workgroup of WP:WikiProject Rock Music. No need for a stand-alone project for this.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ &gt;ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ&lt;  22:10, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Why not? Hip hop music have WikiProject Hip hop, so Psychedelic music should have WikiProject Psychedelic music. What do you think? --Jilja (talk) 01:03, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Why not? Because we don't need further profusion of narrowly sub-topical wikiprojects. They almost all die within a few months to a year of being created. "But what about [some other music project here]" – See WP:OTHERSTUFF.  The existence of something on WP doesn't mean that everything vaguely comparable to that something must also be created, especially when we've learned that doing so is problematic. PS: Hip-hop isn't a sub-genre of another genre, unlike psychedelia, which is a subgenre of rock, broadly interpreted.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ &gt;ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ&lt;  01:18, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * PS: Total lack of interest for over 10 months is a strong contra-indication for creating such a wikiproject, as is the fact that most of the articles we need about the topic have already been created. There's insufficient work for a new wikiproject to do.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ &gt;ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ&lt;  01:36, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
