Discussion[edit]

There's many articles, but all of them look like stubs. Perseus (talk) 17:13, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The important question to ask is how many articles would fall under the scope of this proposed project? If you're at less than 100 a devoted project isn't needed and would function well as a task force of a larger project. This is outlined in the hidden text of this proposal form.

- There are ~280 stations; 14 lines; JR has about 20 articles. Perseus, Son of Zeus 16:08, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is already the Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains in Japan and WP:KANTO, why do you need a special one, considering that WP Japanese Trains and WP:Tokyo cover the subject already? 65.93.14.196 (talk) 05:32, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the IP above. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 05:42, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure this is the right place to propose this task force; I believe the proposer wants to create a task force within WikiProject Trains, in which case, this should be brought up at the discussion page there, yes? It looks like Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains in Japan is inactive, but WP:TRAINS looks pretty active. So it seems like a good proposal for a task force within WP:TRAINS (and maybe even a "joint" task force with WP:KANTO), but I'm not sure this can be decided here..

Shouldn't it be a workgroup of WP:Japanese Trains then? If JTrains is too inactive, it might be converted to a task force of WP:Trains or WP:Japan. Having Tokyo Subways as a task force for WPTrains means it would be absent from its natural parents JTrains or WPTokyo 64.229.101.119 (talk) 06:18, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If JTrains is inactive, the thing to do is for interested people to stage a "friendly takeover", rather than creating a formal task force underneath it. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:15, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
