Wikipedia:WikiProject Alternative Views/Articles

This list is deemed useless by two editors. It seems a leftover from an earlier period of the WikiProject and it's hard to see how it could be useful now. __meco (talk) 06:22, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Such lists can be useful in both defining whether an article is directly related to the scope of a group and also as an aid to monitoring "recent changes" to those articles. If the group had an interest in using it for the latter purpose, I think it could be very useful. John Carter (talk) 14:45, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Wouldn't this show itself in the project discussions, if that were so? Are there any currently active project members that use this list? __meco (talk) 15:49, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

• Keep I have been meaning to join the project and have had it on my watchlist. The list looks useful, and I note that the Participants page says " To see recent changes to the articles already related to this project please use the recent changes function". And of course the list is the basis of the recent changes function. Dougweller (talk) 19:32, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
• Keep because there's no point to deleting it. Tisane (talk) 03:05, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
• Delete, a category would be better. And actually the project does not appear to be having much impact other than occasional attempts to canvass support for mad theories. Guy (Help!) 16:22, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
• Comment They should probably use some template to tag the talk pages. If they do, this list might not be useful, otherwise, it should clearly be kept. --The Evil IP address (talk) 11:35, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

This project uses ordinary WikiProject talk page templates for included articles. Indeed if members or this project believe that this list is useful, wouldn't it be better to implement the |attention= parameter employed by many WikiProjects __meco (talk) 16:40, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
