Contemporary scientist portals


These portals are all about contemporary scientists and popularisers of science. Each fails WP:POG for having an overly restrictive scope, in each case limited to articles on works by the subject. Some of the subjects don't have categories, which are a required element of portals.  Hut 8.5  18:49, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - The usual criticism of the narrow scope is applicable. I dislike two of these figures and admire one of them.  That is not relevant to whether portals are appropriate.  They are not.  Apparently all created just to do it, but to Just Do It, put on the athletic shoes and work out.  Robert McClenon (talk) 15:52, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
