Portal:Adam Ant


Portal mass created without much care or consideration. Did the creator even look at this after hitting publish? Look at the Subcategories section where the Category is a redlink. The Portal posts the lede of the article on Ant, some little snippets from articles on songs, a reproduction of the nav box and a useless link to the Ref Desk. One of the selected images duplicates the lede image.

Fails WP:PORTAL guidelines "portals should be about broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers." There are large numbers of new portals on bands and musicians that have roughly the same issues. Since the previous nominations have been labeled fringe I've posted some more selected more or less randomly.

A test case for the Music portals. Most musicians have a tight cluster of pages around the musician's page that are linked from the page. A portal is not helpful for navigation when the article lays out their albums and songs in detail anyway. The photos are just pulled from the article anyway so they add nothing.

 * Delete - So what is non-fringe? I had no idea who this was.  I still have no idea who this is, other than from the article, and am not persuaded of the need for a portal.  Robert McClenon (talk) 00:18, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - poor quality portal with almost no content available.-- Auric   talk  13:27, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
