Description[edit]

A WikiProject dedicated to the American singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. I Help, When I Can.[12] 21:56, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of important pages and categories for this proposed group
List of WikiProjects currently on the talk pages of those articles
Please invite these and any other similar groups to join the discussion about this proposal. See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Directory to find similar WikiProjects.
Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?
I believe that there needs to be a more concentrated team for Prince's articles. In this large scope, most of the articles are of stub and start quality. With a project, they can be improved. I Help, When I Can.[12] 22:11, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  2. --Discographer (talk) 22:06, 10 September 2011 (UTC) (I support, though too busy to join)[reply]
  3. His scope is definitely big enough. Surprised this hasn't been created before. I'd definitely join. — Status {talkcontribs  22:16, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  4. He has a huge discography which would benefit from the organisation of a Wikiproject, though I won't be joining. Calvin • NaNaNaC'mon! 22:47, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  5. He definitely deserves one. But i will not be joining. Jivesh • Talk2Me 04:22, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Support - no reason the editors should not be allowed to collaborated in this manner. Editors are engorged to work as a group and projects are just for that. Pls don't be deterred by those that think this projects are useless.Moxy (talk) 14:58, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose[edit]

  1. Past experience has shown that single artist WikiProjects invariably fail (unlike genre projects which maintain productive interest). See Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Statistics. In any case two members is not nearly enough to launch a new project. I urge everyone to work on the relevant articles within existing genre projects. --Kleinzach 02:53, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  2. As Kleinzach said. Indeed, I'm surprised that a project focusing on an individual artist would even be proposed. There's simply no way to sustain enough persistent interest in such a project. That's assuming you get the interest to begin with; as Kleinzach noted, there's only two volunteers so far, and you need at least ten to even get this off the ground.--Martin IIIa (talk) 00:54, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
