[edit] Micronesia discussion from Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals

  • CyberAnth 05:19, 18 December 2006 (UTC) - I have a good amount of expertise in several of these islands.
  • User:gadfium. I'm the maintainer of Portal:Oceania, and have an interest in the area, although little knowledge.
  • —Nightstallion (?) I'd be in favour of making this a WP encompassing all of Oceania. 01:10, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Given the existence of the Portal:Oceania, would people like to see the proposed Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia projects merge into one proposed Oceania Project, to develop a similar scope? Badbilltucker 21:15, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd be in favour of doing that, yes. —Nightstallion (?) 01:10, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Likewise. Currently there are articles with the Micronesia tag that belong in Melanesia (e.g. Tourism in Papua New Guinea TMac 03:19, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion sorting question and comment

There is a Deletion Sorting page for Oceania and a section on that page for "Elsewhere in Oceania" in which notifications for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion and proposed deletions could be placed. Alternatives to this are:

  • placing such notifications on this talk page
  • creating the page Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Micronesia and transcluding it onto the Oceania deletion sorting page
  • other options, examples of which I've been collecting at User:Ceyockey/Notifying WikiProjects of Deletion Proposals.

Hi, I don't think that there is enough activity to merit creating a separate subpage for Micronesia. The Oceania page appears sufficient. Cheers, BanyanTree 04:26, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
