Wikipedia:Dispute Resolution Improvement Project/Discussion

Issue #1: Geopolitical, ethnic, and religious conflicts noticeboard--keep active or mark historical?

Geopolitical, ethnic, and religious conflicts are some of the most contentious areas in the world, and so certainly on Wikipedia. Is the noticeboard set up for addressing those issues effectively serving its purpose? Has it been replaced by Arbitration Enforcement sanctions? Is it well manned by experienced editors? Have you ever used it? Last, if it were to be closed, what would you think about redirecting its traffic to the Dispute resolution noticeboard? Please share your thoughts...

Just to get the discussion moving, here are the page view stats for the last 90 days and here are the page editing stats. Ocaasi^{t | c} 01:50, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect, less views than Samarium. Very inactive and serves now as an unused extension to WP:DRN. ~~Ebe 123~~ → report 17:30, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect, I did not even know that page existed. Facts, not fiction (talk) 19:05, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect, no point in having more complication. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 19:06, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The board is not being used. There are lots of geopolitical, ethnic, and religious conflicts happening continually and it would be great if they could be sorted somewhere. Many people do not know that this board exists because it is not listed in many places like Template:Noticeboard links. If it were listed, maybe it would be used. Is this board proposed for deletion because it is not being used due to lack of utility, or because it is not being used due to lack of awareness of its existence? Is it not being used because it is not useful? Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:20, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I too didn't know that this page existed. Perhaps it needs to be better publicized as an option for editors who need dispute resolution, as an alternative to other more commonly used solutions.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 19:30, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Mark as historical with hatnote to DRN. An interesting experiment, but ultimately a failed one. Having so many disparate noticeboards makes it difficult to keep track of all of them, and the minor ones as this will inevitably fall by the wayside. ~~ Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 19:35, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just to note, this is not a discussion to close (or redirect, whatever), but more of a poll to determine how the community feels before submitting the proposal. ~~Ebe 123~~ → report 19:45, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
