Has any Area 51 proposal failed the beta phase and been closed? If so, is there a list of them?

- @ShadowWizard There is a general feeling of doom on the Beer Meta, but I haven't seen an actual announcement of closure. SE could try merging it with Homebrew... Computer Graphics is closing, btw.user259867– user2598672014-07-31 15:24:04 +00:00Commented Jul 31, 2014 at 15:24
- Are there any efforts to not just lose all the content from the sites that don't survive beta?Dan Dascalescu– Dan Dascalescu2021-01-17 05:53:33 +00:00Commented Jan 17, 2021 at 5:53

- 1@Wikis for some reason the proposal on Area51 for R&D does not have the banner like the others, and no data dump, maybe because it was closed rather quickly or did not reach public beta.user152859– user1528592014-07-31 15:03:24 +00:00Commented Jul 31, 2014 at 15:03
Atheism closed. Ironically, not enough people believed in it.

There's been two that I know of, Electronic Gadgets and Artificial Intelligence. There were blog posts about both, Pruning season and No Artificial Intelligence in Area 51. I don't think there is a complete list, since it's pretty rare
Artificial Intelligence has failed. So has Electronic Gadgets.
It's not looking good for Atheism either.
