Online portfolio

I PRODded this earlier but the PROD tag was removed by someone giving a reason (WP:RS found) that was unrelated to the reasons I'd given for deletion. My reasons: Basically a dictionary definition, a trivial one (an online portfolio is a portfolio that's online), followed by what reads like a personal appeal for why the reader would want one ("it is nowadays essential", "profit from the conveniences"). Others have removed the link to a specific portfolio site that had originally been given, but it still reads like an exhortation rather than a beyond-dictionary reference article. —Largo Plazo (talk) 15:37, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Merge/redirect I am the original de-PRODder. The topic is notable as shown for example by its coverage in numerous books. All the other problems indicated by nominator are basically cleanup, and deletion is not a substitute for cleanup, as clarified by our deletion policy. The article needs expansion and help, not deletion. -- cyclopia speak! 16:55, 15 October 2013 (UTC) - Tweaked !vote due to  find below. Looks like they're the same (or very similar) concepts. -- cyclopia speak!  15:50, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I think that the main issue is distinguishing "Online Portfolio" from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_portfolio Bob Cummings (talk) 14:48, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Good catch. I will tweak my !vote accordingly.-- cyclopia speak! 15:49, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
