Water sports discussion from WikiProject Council/Proposals

 * Description : I'm amazed it hasn't been done yet, tonnes of scope and a central organization point for numerous sub-projects/task forces. The project is now located at WikiProject Water sports.

 * I would strongly suggest moving the project page to your userspace until such time as it gets enough members to become viable. Otherwise, it could be forgotten over time, if it gets no input, and ultimately wind up deleted as so many other projects which incorrectly assume people will join have been.

 * That's ridiculous. Setting it up in userspace gets less attention - besides the hassles of trying to lay down decent infrastructure then shifting it all to project space. Though I know what you mean, my first project attempt bombed, but I think the main reason projects like this fail is attempting to cater to a very narrow scope and not promoting the project. Obviously this project has huge scope and will serve as a central organization and direction point for sub-projects. - Pump  me  up  20:36, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It is also the established procedure in cases like this. Projects that are inactive in wikipedia space get nominated for deletion. Projects in user space don't as often or as quickly. John Carter (talk) 15:31, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
