The compromise position on Norwegian Wikinews would be the "soft close" that several people in the discussion have suggested. There's a link from there to show how Swedish Wikinews did it. This way, the current, arguably embarrassing, content would be out of sight. At the same time, the infrastructure would remain intact, in case someone wants to reactivate the project in the future. How does that sound? Steven

Sounds like an OK compromise to me.

Yes, this makes sense. If the main concern are old articles on the main page, clean the main page.

"Soft closes" seem particularly suited to Wikinews where old data with long activity gaps is much more embarrassing than in other WMF projects.
