The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Keep, tag historical. Clearly inactive, but -- as Phil Sandifer points out -- a significant bit of wiki-history in its time. Xoloz (talk) 15:45, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Blogging[edit]

Recommending this Project be demoted down to a task force under the Wikipedia:WikiProject Websites. It has been tagged as inactive since September 2007, and it saw very little activity in any of 2007 at all. If taken into the Websites project and made a task force, perhaps new life could be breathed into it. Collectonian (talk) 00:37, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • It has been listed there since September as well :) Unfortunately, on closer look, it looks like Websites might actually be inactive as, which might explain why nothing has happened for months now. *doh* Wonder if Computing needs to absorb them both....goes to poke them Collectonian (talk) 01:17, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The inactive projects page is still not linked anywhere else. We've been trying to update the directory first. I think merging projects will be the next priority, though. John Carter (talk) 02:02, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've left a not in the Computing project to see if they will absorb both Blogging and Website as taskforces instead. It would be good if the Council added some kind of write up on what to do with inactive projects or projects that need to be made a subtask under a parent article. I was told MfD, but on several project MfDs I'm now seeing comments suggesting MfD is not appropriate either. :-PCollectonian (talk) 02:09, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am reasonably surprised to learn I created this page. It was, iirc, created in response to an active deletionist effort on blogs that was deliberately going beyond the bounds of what was reasonable (trying to delete things like DailyKos). That historical moment has, obviously, passed and it should probably be merged to the websites WikiProject. But given that a redirect would be appropriate, I honestly don't see the need for the deletion discussion. Phil Sandifer (talk) 04:25, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey. I started an assessment thing, but we have hundreds of articles left. Could this be merged into a bigger wikiproject? Computerjoe's talk 20:44, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Computing has been asked to absorb it back in as a work group/task force, but so far no one there has even commented on it. Collectonian (talk) 20:47, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - tag {{historical}} and just leave it alone unless there is a compelling reason to merge it. It sounds like it was justified once and should remain around so we can all know of that.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 18:13, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and tag historical. It could potentially be revived in the future. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 18:07, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
