There are no separate for venues for the deletion discussion of WikiProjects, thus all WikiProject deletion discussions are to be taken place at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion (MFD) and are subject to the guidelines of the same.
This page, however, maintains an automatic list of the ongoing deletion discussions of the various WikiProjects, or their subpages, and serves as an one-stop destination for those who are only primarily interested in WikiProject-related MfDs.
There are currently 1 WikiProject-related MfDs ongoing.

I really have nothing against the main page linked in particular, especially for its historical context, but am very much against keeping its subpages. These subpages, numbing 85 in total, mostly have not received edits since 2010 or 2011, and track article creation goals which have now ALL been completed for a defunct WikiProject. On average, each subpage contains around 100,000 bytes EACH, making it so even just the first nine of these (going on 15-years untouched) subpages have a byte count of over 1,000,000. I have never done a group nomination before so I'm sorry if its incorrectly formatted, but each of the subpages have been listed below. Cheers! Johnson524 03:48, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep or mark as historical/redirect to Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles if you must; there's no reason to make these pages (or their history) inaccessible to non-admins, which is all deletion does. There's nothing harmful here; it's just out-of-date content. Graham87 (talk) 09:44, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep, I had an interest in this project a few years ago and realized that many articles that were marked as completed actually went to DAB pages that had no mention of the Antarctic landform. I had luck using the disambiguation detector tool to find such links and create new articles. You can see where I "verified" lists where these DAB pages were rooted out. There is certainly more work to do and plenty of prose left to be incorporated into mainspace, I just personally moved on. Mbdfar (talk) 13:35, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
