Portal:Asia/Selected biography
As of now, being a maintainer of Portal:Asia, I don't see the point of having both a selected article and a selected biography section. Also, why a biography section? Why not a selected history or geography section? (Please note though, that I was the original creator of the section, but I'm having second thoughts on its purpose...)-- ☆ TBC ☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 04:09, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. If the page's creator and pretty much only editor says it's inactive, then it's inactive.  It doesn't have any unique content.  --Hugh Charles Parker (talk - contribs) 09:41, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, couldn't we stick a db-author on it? Kimchi.sg 13:18, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment, I'm not sure, are we allowed to use the db-author tag for portal pages?--TBC TaLk?!? 16:28, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a CSD general criteria - #7, applies to all namespaces. The general rule being, if you made it and you don't want it anymore, it can be speedied. Kimchi.sg 16:34, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't believe CSD 7 doesn't applies, since a few anon IP's and users have also edited the section. --TBC TaLk?!? 18:23, 20 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete Selected article and selected biography are used, to great effect (in my opinion!) on the politics portal. However, I think the nom. is right for Asia selected history or geography section would be better suited. --Wisd e n17 20:04, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete can the db-author tag be used? --Arnzy (whats up?)  12:54, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
