Any other information: I understand the last adoption request was denied due to it being considered a duplicate to the Pure Good Wiki. I also understand the mistake I made for not making this clarification in the previous adoption request.

Near Pure Good deals with heroes who came close to being pure good but the character has notable preventions that prevent them from being pure good. The Near Pure Good Wiki does not deal with the concept of pure good. Pure good has its own criteria that many heroes fail to qualify for. The Near Pure Good Wiki serves to show heroes who are very noble in their own rights without following the pure good criteria. The pages on the Near Pure Good Wiki have characters who are different from the ones on the Pure Good Wiki. Neither wiki have the same pages on the same characters.

I looked over the duplicate communities page and saw that the Near Pure Good Wiki does not fall under any of the reasons for it to be a duplicate. The Near Pure Good Wiki follows its own subject that is different from the Pure Good Wiki.

The article structure for pages on the Near Pure Good Wiki have "His/Her Good Ranking" for the main section followed by two subsections underneath for "What Makes Him/Her Close to Pure Good?" on the top and "What Prevents Him/Her from being Pure Good?" on the bottom. The structure for the Pure Good Wiki only have “What Makes them Pure Good?”. Examples:
 * Near Pure Good Wiki page example: Harry Potter
 * Pure Good Wiki page example: Courage the Cowardly Dog

This wiki is intended to be a sister wiki and the good/heroic counterpart to the Near Pure Evil Wiki. Users in the Near Pure Evil Wiki community intended to make a Near Pure Good Wiki but found that one was already made and was abandoned. Overall, the Near Pure Good Wiki is not a duplicate to the Pure Good Wiki.

I re-opened my adoption blog on 01/20/2021 and reached out to new users on the wiki. I allowed up to one week for the discussion to go on and the users who responded to the blog agreed with the adoption of the wiki and provided their suggestions to improve the wiki. At the moment, the wiki really needs admins so that general clean up and proposals for Near Pure Good candidates can be done. The wiki grows with new pages and new users continue to join the wiki. As the wiki gets bigger, admins would be needed to help with its growth.


 * I'm super sorry, but I've looked at this on several different days of the past week, and I have to stand by my original assessment. It's clearly a near duplicate, as I said in your previous request. I mean, "near" is actually in the name if the wiki!


 * We at Fandom are primarily considering the reader who will discover these two wikis. How are they to know the difference between something that's "pure good" and something else that's "near-pure good"? It's a completely arbitrary decision that you, as the editor, are making. I realise that you participate in a wide variety of these "shades of goodness" wikis, but I'm looking at it in the narrow scope of those wikis you've applied to adopt. And I don't think most people would see significant difference between "pure good" or "near-pure good".


 * Effectively, you're unnecessarily splitting your audience by essentially forcing this distinction on your readership. That's precisely what the main thrust of Help:Duplicate communities is trying to advise against when it says:


 * "Where multiple wikis on the same topic exist, however, fans split their efforts and compete with each other for readers, editors and authority. The duplicate content they create is penalized by search engines such as Google, especially when a new wiki copies pages of an existing wiki. As a result, both wikis will appear lower in search results, receive fewer visitors and attract fewer community members."


 * Look at it the reverse of how you put it, above. If I were looking for information on Harry Potter, which of these "good" wikis would I seek out? Honestly, I don't know, because Harry's degree of "goodness" is in the eye of the beholder. And it's the same for all these characters.


 * At the end of the day, that makes all of this a very personal exercise, on top of being duplicative. Both are explicitly reasons to deny adoption, given in our guidelines.
