Wikipedia:WikiProject Highland Park, New Jersey[edit]

Poorly constructed page for WikiProject with only one participant on a town with a population of 14,000. The only thing this "project" has done in the time it's existed is created four stub articles on non-notable streets, all of which are presently up for AfD (here, here, here, and here and are being deleted soundly.

If this is deleted, the following should also be deleted:

Template:HPNJ Stub

Extremely qualified Keep. I agree that the project is poorly constructed, and certainly the fact that it's only stated goal is to make pages for streets like the ones being recommended for deletion is not a point in its favor. However, if the project were better designed and specified goals which are in keeping with wikipedia policy, like creating articles on notable buildings and residents, significant figures in local government and history, etc., I think it might well attract at least some input from other editors. I suggest that the project's creator look over the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide and/or other material on how to create an effective project and perhaps revise some of its goals to be more in keeping with wikipedia policy, the project might draw the support of other editors as well.

Delete. There is absolutely no need for this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hurricanehink (talk • contribs)
Delete, Wikipedia is not a directory. A town of 14,000 people (or even 200,000 - there is no WikiProject Richmond, Virginia, for instance) doesn't need an entire WikiProject devoted to it. It's at least too narrow a scope for a wikiproject. --Core des at talk! 22:28, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete while I agree with Badbilltucker that it could work in theory if cleaned up, I don't think we have enough residents of Highland Park with enough civic pride to make it work (1 isn't enough). Yomangani ^talk 00:04, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I can imagine that once even small towns may have very deep Wiki coverage but this is not feasible under current MediaWiki. Ten years from now, maybe. Pavel Vozenilek 18:56, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per others. Punkmorten 05:55, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
