Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals
A WikiProject is a group of editors who want to work together. A WikiProject is not a subject area, a group of pages, a banner on talk pages, or any of the infrastructure used to support the group. If you do not have a group of editors, you do not have a WikiProject. Successful groups normally begin with about 10 active, experienced editors. Experience with participating in and collaborating in an existing group is particularly helpful.

Closing proposals
Proposals are generally closed as successful if several active editors (aim for 6 to 12) are interested in starting and participating in the group. For help with setting up the infrastructure, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide/WikiProject or post at the WikiProject Council talk page to request help. Proposals can be closed as unsuccessful after a month or two of stalled discussion. To close a proposal, follow the instructions at the template documentation and add the proposal link to the most recent archive page.
