Delete or Redirect: Though the scope of the topic is much greater than the recently deleted TimeSplitters Project (admittedly not by much), the inactivity certainly doesn't warrant the project staying as is. And keeping an inactive project like this around can be confusing for newcomers looking to edit video game articles. The only alternative I can suggest would be to redirect it to the
VG Project in the off chance interest in the topic increases somewhere down the line. Even then, it would work better as a task force than a full project. (

Keep. Do we delete inactive WikiProjects? Make it a subpage of
VG Project, but do not delete. --

Even if the scope of the project only encompasses 30 articles? The reason this was brought to MfD is because the project had not really accomplished anything and there was little to no interest in collaboration on the DQ articles. Would a redirect work instead? (

If it only encompasses 30 articles, then its not a server space issue, which it is not anyway. I oppose deletion of the records of activities and failed activities. Archiving is preferable, but a redirect would be fine, if you prefer. --

Fair enough, I'm all for a redirect. Though honestly, I wouldn't really oppose deletion. (

Keep/redirect, etc. --

Redirect to
WP:WikiProject Video games, or Delete and history-merge into the same page (I'm more for redirecting, however). --

Comment- How about demoting project into task force and redirect there. If it remains inactive, then the task force might as well be deleted. Although I have a feeling that it will remain inactive, so like
Guyinblack25 I too don't oppose deletion. I just like to consider the options. —Preceding

Redirect. Per comments above.

Comment: I guess a little more background info might be needed. Because there are so many inactive video game subprojects, we're trying to do some clean up to consolidate resources and help new members not get lost. Some other inactive Projects were switched to task forces, but they still had some editors interested in working on the articles (
Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Warcraft and
Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/StarCraft). There are already several such task forces, some of which may also be inactive. Deletion was brought up because this project does not have any interest from editors. Though redirecting to the main VG Project page will leave it open to future interest. (

Comment - While redirects are cheap, would a delete summary of "See 'this' page" work (is that allowed?)? --

Redirect per other comments

Redirect I'm not sure if this project is interesting enough to leave it there and mark it as "historical" --

Redirect per above. If this ever gets back together, we can fix it.
