Description Huib abigor Laurens 2009-08-20 18:02:36 UTC
Hello, 

I request the closure of the Dutch Wikinews per this discussion:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Dutch_Wikinews

Since there isn't a clear policy the community consensus would be enough on the request for closure page.

Best regards, 
Huib

Agreed.

Please close nl.wikinews.org and move the contents to the Incubator.

Thanks in advance,

Jeroen
Comment 3 Barras 2009-10-10 20:42:06 UTC
Why does it take that long to close a project? There is a consensus with about 90% support for closure. It is not useful to keep such a project much longer open. If there is no really good reason, I think it should be closed after about two months waiting.

I doubt the legitimacy of the closure is disputed; it probably takes this long just because nobody has gotten to it yet.

Any chance that this request will be executed? 
Comment 6 jeroenvrp 2010-02-03 15:58:14 UTC
Can someone please handle this request? It's almost six months ago this bug request has been submitted. Thanks in advance doing this. If it's not possible, please inform the community why.

Hello, developers out there? Can someone please handle this request and get the other closure requests done as well? It would be very generous if you could get this job taken care of, or at least explain a reason why it takes so long. Thank you. Regards,
Comment 8 Nobody 2010-02-22 02:10:28 UTC

Thanks.
Comment 9 Rob Halsell 2010-02-22 20:00:15 UTC
The Dutch Wikinews, as well as the other projects listed, have been closed.  The data is still archived, but is no longer an active and accessible project(s).
Comment 10 scrahan81 2010-02-24 09:58:46 UTC
There is still one more project to be closed.

It's best to just open up another bug if more projects need to be closed, rather than just tacking them on the same bug.

This is already filed as bug 21676 (which I guess is now resolved?).
Comment 13 scrahan81 2010-02-24 22:23:37 UTC
Bug 21676 has not been resolved yet. The project is still open and the bug request has been left there unattended for more than three months now.
