[edit] Regarding Genealogy of Mechanicians Project

Hi Zhigangsuo. You may have noticed that I nominated your Genealogy of Mechanicians Project article for deletion. The Wikipedia namespace is not the proper place for a project such as yours. Instead, it belongs on Wikipedia:WikiProject Genealogy of Mechanicians, which I've migrated all of your work to. The page is in a standard format right now, but you can format it how you like. Please read Wikipedia:WikiProject for information on projects on Wikipedia. The project is welcome here, it's just that there are some established guidelines we'd like you to follow. You may also want to take a look at Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions, leave a message on my talk page. Thanks! ~MDD4696 21:07, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Whoops! One other thing -- please don't blank pages, as you did to Zhigang Suo. The article looked fine to me, but if you still want to delete it, you can request it be deleted by adding {{db|REASON TO DELETE}} at the top of the article. However, you may only do this when you are the only contributor to an article. If you would like to delete article which you are not the only editor, you must list it on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion.
The articles on the mechanicians are fine in the main namespace, as they are biographical articles on people. The project, which you created to organize creation of those articles, should be at its current WikiProject location.
I know there's a lot to read, but since you are creating biographical articles, I think you should also take a look at Wikipedia:Notability (people). There are guidelines for the inclusion of articles on people, and articles that do not satisfy them will be deleted. Good luck! ~MDD4696 21:24, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm afraid I don't agree with Mdd4696 about making a WikiProject for this. If I've understood it correctly, it's far too specialized a task, and not sufficiently related to building an encyclopedia, to make a WikiProject for it. Accordingly I have nominated Wikipedia:WikiProject Genealogy of Mechanicians for deletion. WikiProjects are designed to coordinate the activities of a large number of editors, and have very significant overhead. If you want to find help tracing these genealogies, the thing to do would be to ask for help at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mechanics (already a marginal WikiProject), not make a whole new one for this specific undertaking. --Trovatore 08:25, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
