Things to include in your description:

Identify the subject: Link to several major articles or lists within the scope of the proposed project.
Show the subject is big enough: Link to categories within the scope of the proposed project. (See How to link to a category.) Successful WikiProjects usually have thousands or tens of thousands of articles within their scope. If there are fewer than 100 articles within the scope, then a separate WikiProject is inappropriate. Try joining a bigger, existing group.
Show that you are aware of related projects: List the names of any related existing WikiProjects. (Most will be mentioned on the talk pages of your major articles.) Please notify them of your proposal, and explain why you want to start a separate group rather than working with them.
