[edit] Wikipedia:Wikifun

Page used for social entertainment rather than enhancing the encyclopedia. Has not been updated in nearly a year, appears to be abandoned. Kesh (talk) 02:56, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Close and mark historical We almost never delete projectspace pages, even those that are now seen as bad ideas. Just mark it historical and be done with it. -Mask? 03:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Mark as historical, does not help encyclopedia and has only 15 edits in the last 2 years. Note that Category:Wake me for Wikifun should be deleted if this is deleted, marked as historical, or merged (all of the 3 proposals thus far). VegaDark (talk) 03:12, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Mark as Historical. I concur that it probably doesn't do much for the project, but keeping it as historical would show that such things have been done in the past. In my mind, there is value in leaving it as a placeholder, if only to force someone who would start a similar initiative to come up with an original idea. I'm not sure that the related Category:Wake me for Wikifun is within the purview of this MFD, and there are enough users in the category to warrant a full CFD proceeding, if someone were so inclined as to nominate it.

CfD started - As it seems fairly likely that this will get marked as historical, I have started a CfD discussion about the associated category. RichardΩ612 Ɣ |ɸ 16:13, May 7, 2008 (UTC)
  • Mark as historical. Always better to keep a record of these things' existence, but also time to draw a veil over it. ➨ REDVEЯS is now 40 per cent papier mâché 13:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Mark as historical - seems abandoned, we already have WP:GAME and the Dept. of Fun, this seems rather superfluous. RichardΩ612 Ɣ |ɸ 16:13, May 7, 2008 (UTC)
  • Per WP:SNOW, I'm willing to withdraw the nom in favor of the page being marked as Historical. -- Kesh (talk) 19:39, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
