Wikipedia:WikiProject Keep It Simple
Largely defunct WikiProject with no articlespace scope and a rather ill-defined userspace one (basically a rival to the userbox system). Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) ( talk) 11:44, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
- keep but rename. This is not really a project, but should be a WP: page. Alternatives to userboxes are OK. Also telling people about alternatives to user boxes is OK. Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 12:00, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
- Amazing. It's called "Keep It Simple", but looking through it, it seems rather complicated (by comparison to just entering "My name is John Doe. I live in Miami, Fla. and I like pizza"). Delete. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 15:16, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
- Keep a lot of users like the system but make it a WP: page silly billypiggy ¡SIGN NOW OR ELSE! 16:25, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
Delete or redirect if a viable target can be suggested.2007-2008 project which produced one archive page. Certainly shouldn't remain as a WikiProject. -- Klein zach 08:16, 5 December 2011 (UTC)- Weird. The content and array of userboxes are not simple. Not a functional wikiproject. Redirect to Wikipedia:Keep it short and simple. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 21:17, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
- Delete or redirect to Wikipedia:Keep it short and simple per SmokeyJoe. -- Klein zach 00:47, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
- Rename to "Keep it simple" - a redirect seems less desireable as losing the content which is not the same. Collect ( talk) 18:35, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
- I think that forking Wikipedia:Keep it short and simple is counter productive, and specifically contrary to the intent of both pages. I don't think the content is particularly useful, but accept that someone else may be able to take something useful from it. However, it would take some effort, and without that effort, I think the content oonly confuses the attempted message. This is why I think the content is best behind a redirect. Anyone can dig it up and use it, but they should be aware that they are digging up something that we've decided to bury. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 21:54, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
- Keep but rename per Graeme's reasons above. Wekn reven i susej eht Talk• Follow 16:39, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
