Proposal

Pinging No Swan So Fine and Kencf0618. There are more news articles etc. on Wonkam besides just 3MAG, which as of November 2 is just a hypothetical project that Wonkam is trying to get funding for. There are really only two reliable, independent articles I can find on it at a glance, which pretty much means this article is relegated to being a stub indefinitely (i.e. until it's funded and underway). My thought is that we may be able to move this to Ambroise Wonkam and have information about the 3MAG project there in its own section. Once the project is well and truly underway and there's more coverage of it, we could merge it back into its own article while retaining Ambroise Wonkam. Thoughts?

TL;DR: I think the subject 'Ambroise Wonkam' pretty much subsumes 'Three Million African Genomes' right now, and thus I think we should – for the time being – create an article there and make this a redirect until the project starts – whenever or if ever that is.

That sounds eminently sensible - the BBC News article did feel like a puff piece - albeit of a very worthy project - and I'm looking forward to 3MAG being spun off. No Swan So Fine (talk) 17:04, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking as a card-carrying Eventualist that's OK with me. I began Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory after it received funding, after all! kencf0618 (talk) 09:38, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
