Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Esperanto Wikinews

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 for closing n:eo: is rejected and the project will be kept open.

A Language Committee member provided the following comment:
Speedy closure: I consider this discussion "harmful, with no reasonable possibility of a decision to close the wiki". The activity on the eo.wikinews community portal shows the project is not "dead inactive". Also, a closing proposal is not the way to solve content or personal disputes. --MF-W 16:21, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Type: 1 (routine proposal)
Proposed outcome: closure
Proposed action regarding the content: move to Incubator, delete propagandist articles
Notice on the project: n:eo:Vikinovaĵoj:Diskutejo#Propono_pri_la_fermo
Informed Group(s):

Dead inactive project, no activities, no any new articles, without active user community. Many pro-Russian military propagandist articles----Fenikals (talk) 12:19, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support soft closure similarly to the other recent Wikinews project closure proposals --176.104.110.11 21:59, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Do not forget to warn the project itself and/or its language community in Wikimedia in the best possible way and add a link to it in the proposal. Proposals with no fair warnings to the projects will be ignored." - [1] - fair warnings ? Marek Mazurkiewicz (talk) 10:14, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It should be noted that the proponent has been in a long-time conflict with another Wikimedian, which has got very personal and is now difficult to judge neutrally. This proposal seems to be a part of it and an effort to forcefully stop one person by cancelling a whole project. Blahma (talk) 07:02, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am surprised by the proposal. Firstly, because it was never discussed within the community itself, nor were there any calls for increasing participation in the project. And secondly, because Vikinovaĵoj has always maintained even a small level of activity. It may not be the most active project but it has managed to sustain itself over time with peaks of activity here and there when a user adopts it. --Sahaquiel9102 (talk) 16:08, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Edits are up recently; seems a poor moment to make this proposal. –SJ talk 03:32, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
