The proposed WikiProject was not created. Closing due to insufficient interest. Ajpolino (talk) 20:45, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Currently, a lot of articles related to herpetoculture read as "how-to" articles for keeping them as pets, not encyclopedic or academic articles concerning the species. Therefore they, generally, come off as commercial or amateur articles. The goal of this project would be to find an appropriate balance between information about the actual species of the animal, and information concerning domestic specifications of vital interest to the animal (e.g. keeping them alive in one's house). Additionally, other herpetoculture-related topics such as the herpetoculture page itself could use a special task force for improvement.
Additionally, many articles that would fall under this scope currently have problems with original research and advertisements, and as such sometimes fall victim to deletion. I believe these articles are of high importance to Wikipedia since many new or future pet owners consult Wikipedia entries. The articles within this topic also have a severe lack of proper categorization and organization.
