Closure of Working Group Wikipedia
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Can someone close the Working Group Wikipedia? It's not a real encyclopedia anyway even though it is registered under the .wikipedia.org domain name and is an entire wiki dedicated to an issue on the English Wikipedia. I do not believe that we should have wikis opened for incidents on Wikimedia wikis, we do not have http://wg.ur.wikipedia.org for example. And anyway, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Working_group_on_ethnic_and_cultural_edit_wars and the associated 2008 report http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Working_group_on_ethnic_and_cultural_edit_wars/2008_report this wiki should have been closed as the disputes have been resolved.

Can someone close the Working Group Wikipedia? It's not a real encyclopedia
anyway even though it is registered under the .wikipedia.org domain name and is
an entire wiki dedicated to an issue on the English Wikipedia. I do not believe
that we should have wikis opened for incidents on Wikimedia wikis, we do not
have http://wg.ur.wikipedia.org for example. And anyway, according to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Working_group_on_ethnic_and_cultural_edit_wars
and the associated 2008 report
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Working_group_on_ethnic_and_cultural_edit_wars/2008_report
this wiki should have been closed as the disputes have been resolved.

I didn't even know this wiki existed before now, but surely this is something that should have community consensus from the en 'pedia folks?

Indeed, closing as no consensus. "I do not believe we should have a wiki for this" isn't really a valid reason for closure. Also, for the record, the naming scheme used here is actually very common. See sites like arbcom.en.wikipedia.org and arbcom.de.wikipedia.org.
