71:. As the page itself states, the "coordinators" have very little official power; rather, they "aid in keeping the process running smoothly". Anyone can help with maintenance and housekeeping work, update lists, or write guidelines; you don't need a bureaucratic system with voting rounds for that. And if you want to have "designated points of contact", then just add a section about that on the main WikiProject page, where anyone with sufficient experience in the project can add themselves. I fail to see why this page is needed.

What does that have to do with anything? I'm not nominating the WikiProject for deletion, just its unnecessary bureaucratic "coordinators" system.
213:— coordinators do not exercise any "power"; they just coordinate (hence the name). That helps Knowledge (XXG); it certainly doesn't hurt it. --

130:- the co-ordinators on this project help make this project one of the best around, more projects should have co-ordinators.

Why do they need a formal bureaucratic process to "help make this project one of the best around"?
