Wikipedia:WikiProject Academia

The following discussion is an archived proposal of the WikiProject below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the project's talk page (if created) or the WikiProject Council). No further edits should be made to this page.

List of important pages and categories for this proposed group

List of WikiProjects currently on the talk pages of those articles
Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?
Despite related WikiProjects having partial overlap with the present proposal, there is a core set of articles important to WikiProject Academia that is currently "falling through the cracks" among existing WikiProjects (for example, academic culture and positions -- see Outline of academia for details). The scope of WikiProject Academia will be such that articles that are already within the scope of sister WikiProjects and well taken care of will not be disturbed, more specifically:

Support

edit
  1. Support, for the reasons stated above; would join WikiProject Academia. Fgnievinski (talk) 17:50, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support, I would join this project too. − Pintoch (talk) 08:40, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

edit
  1. Given weak evidence of support so far. We have too many moribund projects & new ones that just tag everything in sight, then die. Wiki CRUK John (talk) 11:58, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

edit
Would it be more appropriate to start a WP:Task Force in one of the existing WikiProjects? Any host suggestions? Thanks. Fgnievinski (talk) 17:48, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like the proposal failed. It seems that Category:Academia would be a good place to focus for the moment. Fgnievinski (talk) 16:32, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
