Wikipedia:WikiProject Natural language processing
Delete Two-participant WikiProject-that-never-was. One participant has a total of 4 - yes 4 - edits. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 13:31, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete as stillborn. Not every article needs a Wikiproject. This user needs a topic ban from starting new Wikiprojects. This is really a narrow topic. Legacypac ( talk) 13:35, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete as stillborn. Robert McClenon ( talk) 15:00, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
- Do not delete. Reject these ill-considered MfD nominations lacking any valid reason for deletion. Advise UnitedStatesian, Legacypac, & Robert McClenon of the policy, WP:ATD, and of the fact that WikiProjects are not Portals. This WikiProject nominations have become lost in the Portal nominations overload, MfD is disrupted. More care needs to be taken.
- Wikipedians have expressed an interest in expanding on the topic of Natural language processing. That is an excellent idea, and this idea should not be suppressed by knee-jerk deletion. A better answer to the actual problem is to redirect the WikiProject to the most relevant larger WikiProject, which can be found by looking at the WikiProject tagging on the main article talk page. Redirect to Wikipedia:WikiProject Linguistics. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 02:21, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - User:SmokeyJoe - No. I know the difference between a WikiProject and a portal. No. I am repeatedly behind on reviewing the portal MFDs, but I am giving the same amount of attention to the drafts and the WikiProjects as I did in February. Robert McClenon ( talk) 03:44, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
- Good. I think. These WikiProject nominations need scrutiny, because they look like needless destruction of of worthwhile resources directed at improving specific content. In this respect, WikiProjects are very different to Portals. Maybe I should be worried that equal attention is insufficient, because the thousands of Portals do not need or deserve careful individual consideration. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 04:30, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
