Proposals for closing projects/Closure of English Wikipedia
I can name a gazillion numbers bigger than 2.8 million. There's 3 million, 4 million, 5 million... And 416 is so tiny compared to 2.8 million that it's not worth being compared to larger numbers. Hardly worth anything, really... 296.5 million edits may seem big, but there are still numbers way bigger than it - have y'all heard of the number 360 trillion?

Oppose
- Oppose Sure, it doesn't have enough edits, but that's not a reason to close. A bot could bring the count up to 360 trillion easily. Algebraist 14:12, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose Rename it to "simple English" and close the other one because of redundancy. --FritzG 14:36, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose hangon on this proposal because we should focus on the proposal of Closure of Meta first. --Bencmq 15:09, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
