[edit] WikiProject Organizations

Hello, I added my comments on the talk page. You are currently creating the WikiProject-structure as in Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history? Hope to hear from you. Best regards, Brz7 22:25, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redir

No problem! I suppose your best bet would be either the talk page of the place it originally redirected to, or WP:RFD. >Radiant< 15:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Combining Organizations with Companies and Corporations (dropping corp from title)

Hi.

I would love to work with you on this. There has been a merge tag at Notability for Organizations and discussions at the talk page for both pages for some time, but the discussion had lagged. I brought the subject up at both pages in December or late November, and then the discussion was merged to Companies with a redirect message posted at Organizations. The conversation soon regressed into specifics rather than looking at the big picture, then went dormant. In mid-January I suggested that we end the discussion on the merger by the end of January and make a decision as to whether we should develop text for a combined page, with the goal of completion to be mid February.

I had also proposed a very simple set of guidelines in my initial message, but it seems to be too simplistic, and at minimum should be more consistent with the central criteria for notability.

My concern is that we have too many specialty criteria in potentially conflicting locations. In an attempt to be very specific, we have become very ambiguous, since most situations can be seen as fitting into multiple categories and the notability projects have diverged as they evolved.

Sincerely,

A brief question: do you consider companies to be a subset of organizations? --Kevin Murray 20:42, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Yes, I agree, and thus see them as pertinent to the same critieria as other organizations, thus the advocacy of the merger at notability. --Kevin Murray 21:10, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

At Company there is a good discussion of the varying worldwide definition of "Company." This is consistent with our understanding. --Kevin Murray 21:13, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CfD

Hi there! At the CfD for Organizations by geography, etc., would you mind giving a link to the renaming discussion about the "brand new organizations category scheme"? We could use some context. Thanks. Her Pegship (tis herself) 01:34, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Okey dokey. Thanks for the link. Cheers, Her Pegship (tis herself) 06:14, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Wikipedia:WikiProject Groups

A tag has been placed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Groups, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Literally zero content. John Carter

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. John Carter 14:40, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
