Wikipedia:WikiProject Inclusion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We the undersigned have formed this local WikiProject —based on the Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians —to better organize action to support the principle article and material inclusion and to counter exclusion and deletion.

• We hold the view that the process of deletion carries a "systemic bias" or "process bias" by which the process itself becomes a haven for those who wish to use it —emphasizing deletion rather than offering reasonable alternatives for keeping or redirection. (Alternate project title: Countering Process Bias. See also Countering Systemic Bias)
• We campaign for the proper use of the Wikipedia:Cleanup process as it was instituted as a mainstream buffer before deletion is used.
• We seek to institute a review process for Wikipedia articles and templates, which will act in a similar way as Cleanup does for main articles.
• We also seek to begin a consolidation of the deletion processes, whereby these can be collectively tracked and responded to.
