Wikipedia:WikiProject Keep It Simple

Largely defunct WikiProject with no articlespace scope and a rather ill-defined userspace one (basically a rival to the userbox system). Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 11:44, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

keep but rename. This is not really a project, but should be a WP: page. Alternatives to userboxes are OK. Also telling people about alternatives to user boxes is OK. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:00, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Amazing. It's called "Keep It Simple", but looking through it, it seems rather complicated (by comparison to just entering "My name is John Doe. I live in Miami, Fla. and I like pizza"). Delete. --Redrose64 (talk) 15:16, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep a lot of users like the system but make it a WP: page sillybillypiggy^{¡SIGN NOW OR ELSE!} 16:25, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect if a viable target can be suggested. 2007-2008 project which produced one archive page. Certainly shouldn't remain as a WikiProject. --Klein zach 08:16, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weird. The content and array of userboxes are not simple. Not a functional wikiproject. Redirect to Wikipedia:Keep it short and simple. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:17, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect to Wikipedia:Keep it short and simple per SmokeyJoe. --Klein zach 00:47, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to "Keep it simple" - a redirect seems less desireable as losing the content which is not the same. Collect (talk) 18:35, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think that forking Wikipedia:Keep it short and simple is counter productive, and specifically contrary to the intent of both pages. I don't think the content is particularly useful, but accept that someone else may be able to take something useful from it. However, it would take some effort, and without that effort, I think the content oonly confuses the attempted message. This is why I think the content is best behind a redirect. Anyone can dig it up and use it, but they should be aware that they are digging up something that we've decided to bury. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:54, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but rename per Graeme's reasons above. Wekn reven i susej eht ^{Talk• Follow} 16:39, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
