Description
Small and average indian cities (Tier-2 and Tier-3) have lesser online visibility on Wikipedia, especially compared to large metropolis, while they are the larger majority of Indian cities. There are information gaps between what one needs to know about small cities and what is currently available online. AlbaFs08 (talk) 11:24, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

 * 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?
 * At the moment there is no category, task force or project that specifically focuses on Tier-2 and Tier-3 Indian cities, so the aim is to put in the spotlight the fact that information about a certain city should be there. This project aims at facilitating the process of knowledge creation regarding small cities in India.

Support
Also, specify whether or not you would join the project.

Discussion
This would only make sense as a taskforce/workgroup (subproject) of WP:WikiProject India. "Smaller [than what?] Indian cities" isn't a discrete subject area, but simply a pile of similar-scope work for that broader wikiproject to get done, and it isn't going to attract a particular cadre of editors, any more than would, say, focusing on bantam-weight boxers in particular, or on Ford cars under a certain engine size, or TV shows with fewer than X number of episodes before they were cancelled. This is basically a generic "let's work on stub articles" idea that happens to be about populated places in India. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  23:20, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
