Blog:Should we cut the toy wikis loose?

'This has become an official Request for Comment. Please vote here.'

Now that I think about it, the toy-themed wikis should be cut loose similarly to the character wikis. Here my reasons why:


 * 1) The very idea of a toy-based reception wiki is questionable and downright silly sounding. All of the users here are 13+ years old, which is far past the age kids grow out of playing with toys. This as a result will make it look like the wikis are ran by children.
 * 2) Just like the character wikis, these two wikis don't fit the theme of reception. Having professional reception for toys in my eyes feels completely pointless, and my point shows because I have never seen any sort of professional reception for any toy before (whether it be a site or another professional reviewer in any capacity). Sure, there might be a few YouTube videos and reviews on Amazon or another similar site (something of which should not be relied on), but it's not enough to determine the reception.
 * 3) Another reason why they don't fit the theme of the wikis is because they aren't considered a media format. Games, movies, television, music, books/comics, and websites are all considered types of media.
 * 4) Activity on the wikis is next to zero. Whereas the other lesser active wikis (like the literature and music wikis) have at least a few edits everyday, these two wikis only have a few edits every week, with some days seeing no activity at all.
 * 5) Due to the lack of any real reception as mentioned above, most of the pages feel heavily opinion-based, with absolutely no mention of the reception nor is there any sources included to back up the claims in the page.
 * 6) Even if we do attempt to build the wiki up some more and improve it, it will still be our weakest wikis due to the problems mentioned above.

Now I'm not saying they should be outright closed, just removed from the network.
