Wikipedia:WikiProject Chenab Valley (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  • Delete yes, the creator did round up two other collaborators, but this is still an extremely narrow subject for a WikiProject, which falls completely within the much broader Wikipedia:WikiProject Jammu and Kashmir and would thus lead to WP:OVERBANNER issues and likely abandonment.

  • Keep: This project just recently created and yes there are only two to three collaborators in this. But I believe other collaborators who have Chenab Valley as topic of interest will join later. Now, the reason why I made this separate project is only and only huge number notable articles which should be on wikipedia but they aren't. As you can see I am just 4 months old here. I have created number of articles on Places and a biography related to the project. According to my research and as per notability norms, I believe there are more 150 articles on Places, famous notable personalities which are exclusively related to Wikipedia:WikiProject Chenab Valley in my mind and maybe the number of articles can increase and I don't think any collaborators from Wikipedia: WikiProject Jammu and Kashmir have contributed any article that much related to Chenab Valley. I am thinking about long lasting project, while I am still learning but I am working according to norms. I have given a lecture to a group of people offline when they misunderstood the Wikipedia, I told them Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and What it is. My mission is that everyone should be reader of wiki and get all the information related to Chenab Valley through wiki. Hope, you don't destroy my mission.

  • Defer any decision for six months. (Wikipedia:There is no deadline.) What the creator is trying to do is to get people to improve articles in this area. This project is one of his/her tools for doing it. Another is to post messages on people's talk pages alerting them to particular problems with articles and asking them to fix them. This initiative was started on 30 June 2020 - that is less than a month ago. Give it another six months before making any decision. Whatever happens it will have improved some articles that would otherwise not have been improved. Maybe UnitedStatesian is right and it will be abandoned; or maybe it will grow. Give it time.-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:25, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for now. No need to delete at this time. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:23, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - We're a volunteer project. Deletion here is essentially opening a jewelry box with a sledgehammer. There really is no need to take this route while the project is being worked on.--WaltCip-(BLM!Resist The Orange One) 13:29, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I am not familiar with this particular wikiproject, but couldn't it be made into a taskforce of wikiproject Jammu and Kashmir, or another related wikiproject? That seems to me as a good compromise and also makes the most sense. If this is a viable option I would vote to do it. Ghinga7 (talk) 22:34, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect to Wikipedia:WikiProject India. There are no valid reasons to delete, but new thin WikiProjects only hurt the existing WikiProjects. You'll get more traction by working within a larger WikiProject. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:56, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to WP:INDIA. 🐔 Chicdat ChickenDatabase 10:23, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as a task force of WikiProject Jammu and Kashmir because as noted, it is highly specific. So much so, that a wikiproject for just this might be a bit too heavy. A task force subpage will allow them to have a space for discussion on the subject while at the same time not use yet another WikiProject space. Would also prevent the creation of a fork between WikiProject J&K and this Wikiproject.
