Proposals for closing projects/Deletion of Amharic Wikipedia
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.
- A Language Committee member provided the following comment: Speedily closing. The way to solve a perceived problem with the content of a wiki you have 0 edits on is not to propose its deletion. If you speak the language, please improve the content instead. A cleanup of questionable content can be organised outside of the closing projects process. --MF-W 10:33, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Type: 2 (non-routine proposal)
- Proposed outcome: deletion
- Proposed action regarding the content: Delete
- Notice on the project: https://am.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E1%8B%8B%E1%8A%93%E1%8B%8D_%E1%8C%88%E1%8C%BD
- Informed Group(s): (Which chapters, wiki projects, and other community groups have been informed, if any.)
My reason
[edit]This wiki recently came under my radar due to the extremely comical pages without citations
after A discussion between me and some English Wikipedians we think that this is a clear violation of Wikimedias goals and policies . There is several weird pages Germany for example has linked a page called new world order and the only content on that said page is a link to Italy
also they use the word facist excessively

Discussion
[edit]- Oppose Clarify, why? What are the violations you mention? There better be some examples of what you claim is happening on amwiki, otherwise this request is for speedy closure per the Closing projects policy.--87.116.165.93 16:22, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- It’s not maintained and. Has zero citations Cyberwolf (talk) 17:36, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- Inactivity in and of itself isn't a reason. Check the Closing projects policy cause this to me looks like a completely malformed request. --87.116.165.93 22:12, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- question: @Cyberwolf: your link to the notice was the main page, also did you notified the Wikimedia Ethiopia? Toadette (chat) 09:07, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Note Your addition of the tag was reverted by a user. Toadette (chat) 09:13, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
Oppose You object to the use of the word fascist to describe Italy and its armies under Mussolini?--Prosfilaes (talk) 15:28, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Voting is finished and the proposal was closed.--87.116.161.18 20:50, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
