Would join. --Auric talk 18:27, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely! I would suggest adding Minecraft server and its category, and removing Markus Persson. Leijurv (talk) 19:02, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Opposed

Minecraft is not a big enough topic area to warrant an entire dedicated WikiProject. I dare say it's not even big enough to warrant a task force within the parent project WP:VG. -- ferret (talk) 14:51, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There are three Minecraft games - the original, and two spin-offs that don't have much in common with its source material. That's three games, a ridiculously tiny scope for a WikiProject. There's no reason this WP needs to exist. Namcokid 47 ^(Contribs) 15:03, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
VG project had a lot of task forces merged and deprecated because of no activity. This included stuff like big developers BioWare and iD. Even a whole topic like Indie games barely sees any activity. A single game franchise is not even suitable for a task force at this time, let alone a whole project. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 15:24, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
On top of the concerns listed above, I dont believe the proposer has the know-how to start or maintain a WikiProject. The very fact that he’s proposing roles like “director” and “inner-sanctum” shows he knows he’s not ready to do this. Elsewhere, he openly admitted he doesn’t even know how to Wiki-link to pages yet.

Discussion

Who wants to be template maker?

I doubt that this needs its own WikiProject. The scope is rather narrow and, if anything, a taskforce for WP:VG could easily suffice. IceWelder [✉] 14:10, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Additionally, projects don't have "directors" and "inner councils". This isn't a club house. -- ferret (talk) 14:55, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know who "leijury" is, but I'm not sure he knows what "director" means, or wants to be one. Leijurv (talk) 19:21, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, I miscapitalized your name, sorry

How to delete this?

Lol. It doesn't matter but I was just trying to make a joke about leijurV versus leijurY. Anyway I'm interested but certainly wouldn't want to be a "director" or anything. And it looks (from above) like it ain't happening. Leijurv (talk) 21:20, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
