The resulting WikiProject was not created

---

This WikiProject will be all about Pollution: documenting the Polluters, the Pollutants, and their effect on the Ecosystem. The goal of this project will be to spread awareness about pollution with the creation of new articles, cross-wiki translation of existing articles, and uploading of images/videos displaying pollution and/or it's effects. --Ne0 (talk) 07:40, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of important pages and categories for this proposed group

• Category:Pollution
• Air pollution
• Water pollution
• Soil contamination
• Radioactive contamination
• Erin Brockovich, Erin Brockovich (film)

List of WikiProjects currently on the talk pages of those articles

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Disaster management

Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?

Currently there is no project specifically about Pollution (Atleast I can't find one).

Please specify whether or not you would join the project.

1. Oppose WP:NOTADVOCACY -- clearly this is a biased proposal, from the name of the project onwards. A WP:WikiProject Pollution might be doable, but we already have WP:WikiProject Environment. 70.24.248.7 (talk) 05:13, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
   • WP:WikiProject Environment is too general. How about WP:WikiProject Document Pollution? --Ne0 (talk) 16:38, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
     • "Document" seems very redundant, and potentially confusing (polluting "documents"). What's wrong with WP:WikiProject Pollution ? Keep in mind WP:NOTADVOCACY. 70.24.248.211 (talk) 09:05, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
       • Ah! good point, didn't notice that. OK, then WP:WikiProject Pollution it is._{(really wanted to make the name something with more initiative, something like "identify pollution" or "record pollution", especially due to all the corporate pollution coverups going on)} --Ne0 (talk) 18:13, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
