Wikipedia:English Wikipedians' notice board[edit]

This page is not used, hasn't been edited since 2008, and has 9 revisions. I don't see how this could be useful presently. Hazard-SJ ✈ 23:17, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and mark historical as it used to be used a lot. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 23:31, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I must have been looking at something else, because whatever I was looking at had a lot of history. I agree that redirecting is the best thing in this case. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:07, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Wikipedia:UK Wikipedians' notice board. It didn't seem to be used that much at all per the history. Graham87 03:13, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. I agree with Graham. --Bduke (Discussion) 03:51, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Wikipedia:WikiProject England 70.24.251.208 (talk) 04:01, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That would be a bad idea as Projects have a different purpose to Notice Boards for wikipedians in a specific country. --Bduke (Discussion) 22:20, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why, since many regional noticeboards have been merged to their analogous wikiprojects. Even the UK noticeboard is merged with the UK wikiproject. 70.24.251.208 (talk) 03:41, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is the opposite way. A WikiProject that did not have much future was made a redirect to Wikipedia:UK Wikipedians' notice board. But really, notice boards and projects are different things. A merge to another notice board with a wider scope, yet including England, is a better option. --Bduke (Discussion) 04:22, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But it seems to be the way of noticeboards and wikiprojects, when there are two, to get merged with each other. WP:CWNB and WP:CANADA, WP:ZHWNB and WP:CHINA, Romanian and WP:ROMANIA, etc. 70.24.251.208 (talk) 04:31, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect As a barely plausible redirect. MBisanz ^talk 22:06, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
