Delete Due to some recent contriversies I had decided to delete this wikiproject all contributors have withdrawn from the project as well. The project pages are very much imcomplete. I had tried request speed deletion under db author however another editor has made significant contributions so I started an mfd Note the following articles also need deletion as they are subpages if there are more please mention them here

Keep it's very unclear what is being requested here and why, but I see no reason to start deleting things unless ThylacineHunter (the aforementioned "another editor") agrees to the deletion. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 20:15, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Struck, after some thinking about it, the argument for deletion does make sense. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 21:23, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. If the project is inactive, then mark it as such, but wholesale deletion of a WikiProject is rarely appropriate. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 22:04, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Changing my opinion to neutral per Redrose64. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 22:12, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment (and reply to Thebiguglyalien) Whilst it is rarely appropriate to delete a WikiProject that has been active in the past, this one hasn't got off the ground yet. The pages listed above seem to have been created prematurely. Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Closing proposals says Proposals are generally closed as successful if several active editors (aim for 6 to 12) are interested in starting and participating in the project. and Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Australian Transport has two supporters (NotOrrio and ThylacineHunter) plus a cautionary post from JarrahTree. I cannot find a proposal at WP:COUNCIL for WikiProject Victorian Transport (which is an ambiguous name, it might refer to transport in the period 1837-1900). --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:52, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There is no evidence that this project ever properly got off the ground, so there's nothing to archive. Furthermore, such a narrow project launched without an existing community to buy-in is a bad idea and is very unlikely to ever be resurrected. (If there's truly a desire to preserve something, it can be userfy'd as a distant second choice, but really, there's nothing here to save, it's all auto-generated stuff.)
