In every Django project I've seen, whenever a new app is created,
`tests.py` is deleted and is replaced with a `tests` directory containing
initially an `__init__.py.

I propose instead of creating a `tests.py` on app creation, create that
which is described above.

I'd be happy to take this ticket myself if it's approved.

Comment:

> In every Django project I've seen...

I have a completely different experience. I've seen/created many apps
without a `tests` directory. I think that the current shape of the default
app is the right consensus and creating a `tests` directory by users is
not a big burden (if needed).

Please first start a discussion on the DevelopersMailingList, where you'll
reach a wider audience and see what other think, and
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/internals/contributing/triaging-
tickets/#closing-tickets follow the triaging guidelines with regards to
wontfix tickets].
