[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Penguins

There aren't many penguin related articles around to have a separate WikiProject for them. Originally this page was named WikiProject Save the Penguins, which leads me to believe that this project was created as a misguided page to garner support for the penguin's cause.

  • Comment. On the surface why should not this Project remain if it can get more support. Then I see that the template for talk pages about penguins is on NO talk pages, not even on Penquins itself. It seems there is little or no activity, so maybe it is a joke and should be deleted. No clear opinion right now. --Bduke 05:02, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, inappropriate material for a WikiProject. Stifle (talk) 15:56, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak delete Tough choice here. There are at least 16 species of penguin, according to the main article. I suppose a good portal could be made of those, plus penguin related things. Also, the project is new, and normally would deserve a little time to flourish. The factor pushing me to delete, but just slightly, is that (given the current membership), I can't be sure this wasn't created as a joke. If current members care enough to appear here with a reasonable plan for the project, I may change my vote; otherwise, I say to assume it was a joke, and delete it in favor of a future serious effort.

  • Strong Support If we expand on penguins in WIkipedia, people want to help them because they see they are innocent and need help from the oil spills.--Gangsta-Easter-Bunny 00:34, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as per Xoloz. --TantalumTelluride♪ 19:48, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. I concur with Xoloz that this has the earmarks of a prank. There is no evidence that this is a serious project. In particular, I note that the "project" page still has a reference to the "Wikiproject Politics of India" page, presumably from wherever the page was cut-and-pasted. The assertion on the original version of this page that it "is a Wikiproject devoted to saving Penguins from the evils of oil spills" seems to border on nonsense and does not appear to have any bearing on the creation or maintenance of encyclopedia articles.
