Galatea was a community for article improvement, proposed in 2005. It was supposed to start operating when eight members has signed up. Only five joined, so it never happened. (None of the five are currently active on WP.) According to the talk page it was nominated for deletion in August 2007, though the discussion appears to be lost. Recommend renaming to Wikipedia:Galatea proposal .--Kleinzach 02:01, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

- Tag as {{historical}}. I don't see a need to rename this proposal because it's unlikely that there will be demand to use the name for anything else. (If there is such demand, this page can be renamed at that time.) --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:13, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- Close as not requesting administrative action or requiring community review. Allow for redirection at editorial discretion. Discuss on the talk page. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:46, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- No. Galatea is dead, so messages placed on its talk page will not reach anyone. Galatea may be an unusual case, but Mfd is appropriate. Let's hear what people have to say, please. --Kleinzach 03:10, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- You should have renamed. Metropolitan90 may have reverted. You and he would have then been interested editors on the talk page. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:38, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- I never had any involvement with this project before this MfD started, so I probably wouldn't even have heard about the move if it had happened without the page going to MfD. But now that I have heard of the page, I'm saying that moving it would serve no purpose. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 14:58, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

- If Klein or others daren't be bold in renaming, the appropriate forum is WP:RM. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:46, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

- Keep nobody, not even the nominator, thinks this page should be deleted, and MfD is not an appropriate forum for discussing page moves. Hut 8.5 08:51, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
