AfD every day on the off-chance that a nautical topic comes up, but
would take time for a lower-volume "AfD/Ships", for instance.

See the International whaleing commission for why this is a really bad
idea. And why wikiproject schools would probably end up as the largest
on wikipedia.
I don't see enough parallels with IWC to be meaningful - they have
large and competing economic interests involved, not a shared goal
of building a single work. And would "schools" be that large of a
project? My impression is that 90% of the contributors only work on
one school, don't even stick around long enough to join a project.
