Wikipedia:WikiProject Nintendo/WikiForce Megaman List of Members[edit]
Memberlist which is part of an inactive task force, which is part of an inactive WikiProject (Wikipedia:WikiProject Nintendo) that will soon be a task force under Wikipedia: WikiProject Video games. Also, there is already a memberlist at the newly-formed Mega Man task force, making this list completely obsolete. Page has not been updated in nine months.

- Delete since redundant. -- Suntag (talk) 01:37, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- delete Not just redundant, but perplexing. I don't really understand the need for a separate member list for a task force... --Izno (talk) 14:38, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It can be used as one of the features of a task force. See WP:TASKFORCE#Task force content. MuZemike (talk) 19:42, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps you misinterpreted. I think lists of users are fine. I think a subpage for an entire WikiProject is also. I don't think a subpage for a task force is. --Izno (talk) 02:38, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Why not? Cannot task forces gauge who is participating? The guideline suddests it's a common thing for a task force to do. Again look at WP:TASKFORCE and also look at our current task forces as well as those from other WikiProjects such as the Military History WikiProject and tell me what you see in each of them. Keep in mind that the now old WikiProject Nintendo (I mention this because I see an MfD for this in the near future, despite our inheriting of everything from the old WikiProject and that the old WikiProject's page has moved and blanked to reflect the current membership) has had a separate page for a long time, and if by chance we get a bit of participants into our task force (as we have over 800 articles to deal with) it can be necessary. (I will copy-and-paste this in the event the Nintendo Task Force's memberlist page gets MfD'd.) MuZemike (talk) 07:48, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Again reading WP:TASKFORCE, I see nothing encouraging it [a member list] as a subpage. Only that lists are typical of task forces to produce. Task forces generally don't become large, even when they are of a broad scope. Take for example, the WWI task force. That only has 30 contributors. Would you set aside a subpage for that few? Or how about the WW2 task force? It has over 100 contributors to it, something I don't think even Nintendo (much less Mega Man) could match; yet their task force participation section is not in a subpage of the task force either. This category supports my assertions — while I think your approximation of 800 articles is inappropriately low, I don't think it can muster the number of articles present in that category (15k, plus a few "needing attention"). Taken together, I again say I don't think a task force needs a members list that is a separate subpage of the task force page. --Izno (talk) 15:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
