Should state-specific Wikiprojects be deleted?
The MfD for Wikiproject Northeast India has made me wonder, are the state specific Wikiprojects (eg. WikiProject Mizoram) too narrow in their scope to be actually useful? The aforementioned Wikiproject was never truly active and only ever had 11 participants, most of which are inactive. All Tomorrows No Yesterdays (Ughhh.... What did I do wrong this time?) 14:03, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- The question is less the scope and more the level of activity. Inactive WikiProjects likely should be closed down, to try and pool activity at a workable level. Semi-active WikiProjects can be converted to task forces if need be, but this is a finicky process. CMD (talk) 14:19, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- Yep, I personally think that most of the state specific Wikiprojects have too narrow of a scope to have a good activity level. I think they should be closed down. All Tomorrows No Yesterdays (Ughhh.... What did I do wrong this time?) 11:21, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- Conversion to a task force might make the most sense. I'd suggest that you start with one of two of the smallest ones (either by scope or activity). e.g. DNH and DD have less than 200 pages each with over 100 being categories. Start on step 1 in the link mentinoed by CMD. I'd be happy to help on the further steps. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 11:56, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- I think they should be merged in my opinion, they're part of the same UT All Tomorrows No Yesterdays (Ughhh.... What did I do wrong this time?) 15:32, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- I will only move DNH for now, using the UT's name. I can change it if desired. All Tomorrows No Yesterdays (Ughhh.... What did I do wrong this time?) 15:33, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- On second thought I don't think it really makes sense, even if it is converted into a task force I don't think it will gain enough traction and activity, it will eventually become defunct anyway. All Tomorrows No Yesterdays (Ughhh.... What did I do wrong this time?) 15:56, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

- I don't generally see a purpose in deleting a Wikiproject. Inactive Wikiprojects should be tagged as such, perhaps with links to alternatives where people can find collaboration, but why remove them altogether? I cannot find the MfD you refer to above - can you link to it? Vanamonde93 (talk) 16:45, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- Removing dead Wikiprojects from article talkpages hopefully means new users are much less likely to go to ghost towns when they have questions. We have the inactive and defunct statuses to help with this to some extent, but replacing them with a more live Wikiproject will be more useful to future editors. CMD (talk) 17:08, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- If a Wikiproject is entirely inactive, and someone wants to do the labor of deleting and deleting all incoming links, then sure. But I'd argue the same outcome is achieved with a note at - for instance - Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Uttar Pradesh suggesting editors come here for whatever assistance they need. Vanamonde93 (talk) 17:30, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hmm, i think we should just turn them into task forces for now as the amount of labour for deleting every link is just too much All Tomorrows No Yesterdays (Ughhh.... What did I do wrong this time?) 12:02, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- The point isn't to delete all incoming links, it's to replace templates. This would apply for a conversion to a task force too. However, either way, that particular stage is not much work, a bot can do it as it's a basic find and replace. CMD (talk) 12:44, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- I totally forgot about bots, I think deleting inactive Wikiproject (like the ones mentioned before) is better for now. All Tomorrows No Yesterdays (Ughhh.... What did I do wrong this time?) 12:48, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks,Xiphoid Vigour ༈Duel༈ 11:22, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- beautifully made! Small detail: are the three small lines next to the green/blue/orange meant to be there? They look like stray markings. Oraclesto (talk) 15:47, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Oraclesto:I've noticed it too. But, the user who made it is retired. I will try to remove it. Xiphoid Vigour ༈Duel༈ 10:39, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
The 2024 Bangladesh anti-Hindu violence article is completely biased. More editors need to get involved and make it more neutral. Facts about attacks have been presented as allegations. An IP has made a request at Talk:2024 Bangladesh anti-Hindu violence#Semi-protected edit request on 18 February 2025 and I had made a request in December which can be seen just above that. I don't know if I can ask for help here but I don't know what else to do.-UnprejudicedObserver1 (talk) 15:54, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

Thalaiyar Falls
The Thalaiyar Falls article seems to be based on a pair of blog posts by a single individual. Moreover, there is information in there that I cannot track down even to those blog posts. This definitely needs checking, and if necessary removal of any suspect material. — The Anome (talk) 07:26, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Camp Hanuman Temple
Could someone from this WikiProject take a look at Camp Hanuman Temple? It was recently expanded by what appears to be a well-meaning new user, but who in the process introduced quite few MOS and other formatting errors. I tried to clean things up a bit, but I've got no idea as to whether any of the content that was added is appropriate; so, I didn't really remove any of it. The user did try to add citations, but they were added to section headings and some for offline sources. Feel free to re-add them inline if there's considered to be WP:RS and cited according to WP:RSCONTEXT. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:34, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
