Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Long Island

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 discussion was: merge to Wikipedia:WikiProject New York (state) in whatever way seems most useful or efficient. Whether that means as a task force or a straight redirect or what, I leave up to the interested parties. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 00:25, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Long Island[edit]

Going through the list of members, most of them have not edited since 2015 at the latest. One of the co-founders is retired and the other is banned.

The project was first tagged inactive in 2010 and has been re-tagged since 2020. The only non-trivial edits on the project page were made by a banned user, and the talk page was never used once. In short, there is nothing to archive here. With virtually no activity from the start, and most of the existing activity being the creation of a banned user (WP:DENY), I suggest deletion and redirection to WP:NY, which covers the content better.

Weak keep or merge into Wikipedia:WikiProject New York (state). The template for articles tagged under "WikiProject Long Island" already reads "WikiProject New York (state) / Long Island" - might as well make it into a task force. Going through the project's talk archives suggests that this was, at one point, a somewhat active project, but this was a very long time ago. Quite a few discussions from '08 to '12, a couple in '14, and not much after that. Vanilla Wizard 💙 20:17, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Wikipedia:WikiProject New York (state). Dronebogus (talk) 12:35, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I was behind the idea of merging WP:LI and some of the others into WP:NYS, at least in terms of the template. I can't find the discussions. The idea was to convert them into task forces. Given that, is there need to delete the main page? Why not just redirect the talk page to WT:NY? – Muboshgu (talk) 23:45, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to wikiproject NY. That wikiproject is much more active than this one and it would bring long island articles to a bigger userbase (JayPlaysStuff | talk to me | What I've been up to) 01:08, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Wikipedia:WikiProject New York (state). There is no need for such a narrow subject when the state can be discussed as a whole. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:11, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
