Requests for Comment/Cutting out the Cancelled Qualitipedia wikis

{{ClosedRfC|I think there's enough input to say that most people do not care, and a few are passionate about the possible duplication. From a content policy perspective this is veritably not a problem, and from a moral one I disagree - such a topic can be continued on a blog here, and I don't seek to continue the hyperbole that has begun on this page. Despite lack of care, there is enough case for their redundant function and lack of audience that the bureaucrats have reason to review if they really want them and make a decision later. So thanks for raising the issue. Nothing more is needed here for now. --Raidarr (talk) 10:56, 22 September 2021 (UTC)|I propose that we cut the Cancelled Qualitipedia wikis (Cancelled Movies Wiki and Cancelled Games Wiki) from the Qualitipedia network, as neither wiki deals with reception, and thus they do not fit in a network about reception. There are a few options: We can either close the wikis, give them to new admins, or keep the Qualitipedia admins in charge of the Cancelled wikis but not have them be a part of the main network.

Support closing the wikis

 * 1) Lost Media Archive exists. And no I don't care if it's not a Miraheze wiki. I don't think it's fair that you guys think that you can ripoff wikis just because they're not on the same site as the one you edit on. If you ask me, that is the kind of things users from The Outcast Network and Horrid Reception Wikis Wiki would do. Musicismylife (talk) 06:48, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Nowadays there is very little activity on those wikis to justify them staying open. Also, The Lost Media Wiki does pretty much the same thing (documenting cancelled media and giving reasons for why it was cancelled) and more, Marxo Grouch  (talk) 02:06, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Support just removing them from the network

 * 1) I am accepting your opinions on the removals of these wikis, but not to mention some media can be cancelled for an unknown reason, so if somebody makes a page about it, it's gonna be short and also, many pages there have the cliched "The media's production was halted and cancelled" result. NJPet (talk) 18:52, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) They're not even reception wikis to begin with. Fortdicted (talk) 02:47, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Oppose
}}
 * 1) While I'm personally toying with the suggestion to merge them into one wiki, I don't think there is an active need to explore this yet. However it is a weak oppose because these wikis offer very little to QP as it stands and I will defer if there is a true core of support for their removal. I will say that QP is by function an administration and a common core of leadership/principles, not necessarily the type of wiki (which we do not 'own' anyways). Cutting it out but retaining the same admins/leadership would not make sense. --Raidarr (talk) 23:20, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) *Ok. But Qualitipedia is a specific network of wikis, and some Qualitipedia admins have other Reception wikis. DuchessTheSponge, for example, has left a massive wiki footprint across Miraheze as he had created dozens of wikis, many of which are closed or inactive. mh:amazingyoutubers:Amazing YouTubers Wiki and mh:firstclassrestaurantsandfoods:First Class Restaurants & Foods Wiki are two examples of Reception wikis that are not officially part of Qualitipedia but have Qualitipedia admins, and both wikis are very active.

 * 3) **They have Qualitipedia admins, but not its official administration or recognition - that is the difference that is made, not just sharing some members of it, or even the bureaucrats that are here (who are most important in establishing a QP wiki administration, imo) holding wikis that include reception but are not included in QP. If anything that is a case that what is included in QP is discretionary, not bound to a specific classification. --Raidarr (talk) 23:52, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 4) ***Ok. In that case they would be kind of like those wikis. They would also not join us in independence, which is a future discussion. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 00:07, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 5) ****@Raidarr To be fair, you're not giving any reason to keep them in Qualitipedia. Musicismylife (talk) 03:31, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 6) *****And I don't see a compelling reason from your end to remove them, either. To only look at QP through 'does it recept' and ignore how QP has been founded and built is poor reasoning to justify simply eliminating them if they have a practical purpose and if the current leaders see merit in leading them. But again, I would be in favor of combining them to one wiki to address the overall topic, rather than dividing up an already small audience. --Raidarr (talk) 11:25, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 7) ******Well yes, but as I said, Lost Media Archive already exists. Musicismylife (talk) 23:32, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 8) *******Lost Media Archive is not a Miraheze entity. Another version of something existing on the internet has never been a reason not to make or to close something here. --Raidarr (talk) 00:06, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 9) ********Yes, but even if that is true, it isn't really fair to ripoff other sites regardless of whether or not they're part of Miraheze. Musicismylife (talk) 21:49, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 10) Sorry, but pretty much the Cancelled media reception would apply to our Qualitipedia wikis anyway. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 00:08, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 11) I would agree with DarkMatterMan, cancelled media have their own reception, as in the outrage or praise from audiences about said media being cancelled. TigerBlazer (talk) 00:23, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 12) I agree with both DarkMatterMan and TigerBlazer.
 * 13) If it weren't for these wikis, we wouldn't have learned so much about the amount of cancelled media and there's still a point to keep them. Allistayrian (talk) 16:34, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 14) * I never said anything about closing them, they can stay open, but just would be separate, as they are not even reception wikis to begin with. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:03, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
