[edit] Wikipedia:Association of Member Investigations

Delete defunct wikiproject. No possibily of revival as noone is showing interest in restarting this project. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 08:24, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Porcupine (prickle me! · contribs · status) 08:40, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep and mark as inactive. -- Ned Scott 08:41, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep and mark as inactive. Old WikiProjects are almost never deleted; those that are generally show signs of elitism or violation of Wikipedia policy (see Wikipedia:Esperanza). -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 09:48, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
• Tag historical - usually we don't delete inactive projects. Addhoc (talk) 13:44, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
• I have no strong feelings, but my sense is that these things are usually tagged as historical. Phil Sandifer (talk) 14:33, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep and tag as historical. --Bduke (talk) 23:35, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep, tag historical and close this discussion. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 05:57, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep, tag historical if there is consensus to do so by those who use the page. I don't think something not being used is a reason to delete it. I disagree that it has no possibility of revival. _(1 == 2)^Until 16:19, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep and tag inactive as per the above. I certainly could see such a group being useful, at least for helping to properly construct requests for mediation, arbitration, user conduct RfCs, and the like. John Carter (talk) 18:06, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete as violating at least the spirit of Wikipedia. Inappropriate, unnecessary "project" that we don't want anyone restarting. Exploding Boy (talk) 16:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep and tag as historical. per Exploding Boy. Let me explain, I think if this was deleted, frustrated users might make a similar project. This can be used as an example that such type of Wikiproject is unmaintainable and obsolete.--Lenticel ^(talk) 09:32, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
• keep per John Carter and Lenticel. JoshuaZ (talk) 00:18, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete it isn't a question of whether the project is likely to be restarted. This project never actually got started in the first place. After a brief flurry of activity setting up the page in March 2005, and a couple of edits in April/May of that year, the project died at birth. As such, it would be incorrect to flag it as a historical process. Mayalld (talk) 08:30, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
