Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Chavacano Wikipedia

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

This is a proposal for closing and/or deleting a wiki hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. It is subject to the current closing projects policy.


The proposal is rejected and the project will be kept open.


  • Type: 1 (routine proposal)
  • Proposed outcome: closure.
  • Proposed action regarding the content: should be transferred to Wikimedia Incubator.
  • Notice on the project: [[1]] (Chavacano Wikipedia)
  • Informed Group(s): [[2]] (Wikimedia Philippines)

Rationale[edit]

Note: Sorry, but my english not is very good yet.

The Chavacano Wikipedia has the following problems:

  • Most of the articles are stubs.
  • Some articles or parts of articles are copypaste of articles of other Wikipedias (Spanish & English).

  • Oppose As much as I would like to contribute, I'm not much of a Chavacano speaker (though my maternal relatives are native speakers) and I only have a rudimentary grasp of the language at best. That being said I wouldn't want to leave this project to rot either, hence my opposition. Blakegripling ph (talk) 12:54, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
