Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Crytek

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was Userfy to User:Trap The Drum Wonder/WP:Crytek. I'll be the poor admin for the sake of cleaning up the project, and hopefully this does not break any guidelines since I nominated it. However, I'm just going to copy-paste the content of the subpages to the main page, and attribute the content to the single user who created all of it, who also happens to be inactive. Let me know if there is anything wrong with this, and I'll fix it. MrKIA11 (talk) 02:18, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Crytek

Project has not had any activity for over a year, after having little activity to begin with, and under 3 different names. Only 1 of the 3 members is even still active. There are less than 10 pages that fall under the project's scope. There was never a single discussion on the talk page. MrKIA11 (talk) 00:36, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Wikipedia:WikiProject Video Games per MFD guidelines. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 15:37, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Wikipedia:WikiProject Video Games. As the owner, it'll be sad to see it go, alas, I must agree it has been dormant for quite a while. As you quite rightly say, neither of the other two 'contributors' weren't fulfilling their role. Granted, I had no other interest than the page being there, posing much like a fan page of the soon-to-be TimeSplitters 4 creators. TDW ✉ 19:57, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per established process within WP:VG (see WP:VG/IPC). There is not a substantial page history here on either the main page or the talk page, which is one of the primary metrics which should be used (and which I use) to differentiate between deletion and redirection. Also, this is unlikely to serve as a good candidate for redirection because it is within the WP:VG "namespace". --Izno (talk) 19:43, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Izno is right. Why redirect Video games/Crytek to Video games? --Klein zach 01:24, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Change page name. Well, if I'm allowed to do so, I'd just like to cut the embarrassment of deletion, and put the same page under a subpage. This would most likely be called, "User:Trap The Drum Wonder/WPCrytek" or something or other. Please don't welcome this comment with the same old cyber Draconian reply.

I wouldn't object to that. Just the main page? --Izno (talk) 22:23, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The 3 subpages are all so small that I think the content can just be merged directly onto the main page, and then they can be deleted. MrKIA11 (talk) 20:57, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Per MrKIA11 Userfy would be fine IMO. --Klein zach 10:16, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Doing that would require a history merge, which I also have no objection to, but some poor admin has to spend some time to do so. --Izno (talk) 00:02, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sometimes it's difficult to work towards a consensus and give admin an easy life. This may be one of them. --Klein zach 08:34, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect is the easiest and most common solution. Redirects are cheap, certainly cheaper than admin time. History merging backwater trivial project space pages of no continuing interest is busywork. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 15:03, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, which is why I initially !voted to delete. There is no reason to redirect pages which are not likely search terms and which do not have significant contribution and collaboration. If there is admin who would like to take the time to histmerge the pages, then that's a fine result by me. Otherwise, we should move the main page and the main talk page to userspace (without redirects) and delete the other pages. --Izno (talk) 15:22, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
