==The rest of the WikiProjects==

There is a serious question which remains unanswered. Many extant WikiProjects, including [[Wikipedia:WikiProject IROC]], as one recent example, find that they the subject with which they deal is one which, in a sense, comes to end. The same can be said for any number of television shows, movie series, and the like. When interest in, and activity regarding, these topics dwindles to the point of inactivity, what if anything should be done with the now moribund projects?

This question has, to this point, not yet been answered. One option, although they may not clearly be the best answers, would be that, to a degree, these particular "ancillary" projects, considering that they are, in effect, being created on the basis of their being able to provide either greater focus or more concentrated effort than the larger "topical" etc. Projects, should be held to living up to that goal of providing such concentrated focus and effort. If they should become inactive or, after a considerable period of time, fail to bring any obvious improvement to the articles they seek to deal with, they can become eligible for deletion.
