[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Cheeses

At first I thought this was a joke, I mean even by the title. Its inactive, all of its members have either retired/are partially inactive and one is still here regularly. It has no templates and its only goal is to make a better coverage of cheese related articles on Wikipedia. Tellyaddict 20:21, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

• Why do you think this is a joke, and what is wrong with its stated goal? There are lots of articles on cheeses (or at least could be) and this Project is a good idea to bring together editors who are interested in them. I am not, being more interested in what I drink with food, wine. Having no template is not a reason for deleting it. It is a worry that there are few participants, but I hope this MfD may attract others. There is no reason to delete. Keep. --Bduke 23:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete due to it's inactivity. Bushcarrot (Talk·Guestbook) 00:20, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
• Serious question. Is it stated anywhere that "inactivity" is a reason for deleting a WikiProject? --Bduke 01:01, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Nowhere. The usual operating procedure is tag with {{inactive}} and hope someone sees it and revives it. Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 23:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
• Cheese being a widely varied staple food across many cultures, this would be very useful if it was actually running. bd2412 T 03:50, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, significant subject, and someone interested in cheese might come along and revive it, so no point making them redo work then. --tjstrf talk 04:13, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Cheese. Also per tjstrf, Herostratus 16:23, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep but propose project perhaps merge into another, more active project. John Carter 17:08, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep but mark as historical until somebody takes care of bringing it back to life. It can be useful, of courseSnowolf ^(talk) _CON ^COI - 21:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, but may need to goad some people. bibliomaniac15 04:22, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Looks like a valuable Wikiproject. Shame no one is working on it at present. No need to mark it as historical- inactive will do. Perhaps some notices on Cheese articles' talkpages could drum up some contributors? Oh, and it does have a template, see {{WP Cheeses}}. WjBscribe 16:28, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, per my reply above. Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 23:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
