Portal:André Gide


Single person portal which is too narrow. Only 10 pages on his works, which can easily be explored from his article. This adds no functionality to the article, just makes the info harder to see because you have to click off to the article or scroll the photos (1 in 3 chance to see the same photo repeated).

 * Delete, currently the portal selects from 2 images, 3 articles. Embarrassing. (And again, I probably spent more time and thought on this delete vote than went into the page creation). —Kusma (t·c) 08:16, 4 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment – WP:X3 is a present proposal discussion, and is not a guideline or policy. As such, it is not a valid qualifier for deletion. North America1000 09:17, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * We are all aware that you and some other portal lovers are preventing us from mass deleting the crap that was mass created without thought. We are well aware you are making us come up with unique reasoned arguments on a page by page basis for pages that were created at rates as fast as 12 per second. Now stop being disruptive and posting the same things over and over. Legacypac (talk) 09:20, 4 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment to closer – Actually, I have !voted to delete many of the portals in recent discussions, not that it should matter. Recently at ANI (perm link), most respondents there stated that they had absolutely no concerns with my post above and others like it. That's a good thing, not a bad thing. Well, that's over now; hopefully we can all get along now and move on. North America1000 14:30, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unfortunately the top-level article has an orange tag and, apart from the bibliography, all of the content in the template is either a stub or has an orange level tag. Espresso Addict (talk) 13:36, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Some of Gide's stories involve the protagonist committing a gratuitous crime, a crime without real motive, as a supposed gesture of free will. The creation of some of these portals has been gratuitous, like acts in Gide, done evidently in order to demonstrate free will rather than to serve a purpose.  Having done that, this porta can be deleted.  Robert McClenon (talk) 01:25, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - An automated portal only worth of an automated deletion. Pldx1 (talk) 12:05, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment - Did You Know that the script was sufficiently dumb to miss Travels_in_the_Congo_(book) (1927) ? Pldx1 (talk) 12:09, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete – Too narrow of a scope and not enough content available to qualify a portal; fails WP:POG. North America1000 14:31, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
