Portal:Asian Games

 * – (View MfD)

Neglected portal. So yeah, I'd say WP:POG isn't satisfied here. ToThAc (talk) 17:46, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * A total of fifteen selected articles; one featured article, two Start-class, and the rest are C-class, B-class, or good article status.
 * Inadequately maintained by the creator, who created it in April 2011 and only sparsely edited it throughout the rest of the year. No one else has ever maintained this portal for long.
 * An abysmal nine average daily pageviews in the first half of 2019, roughly .8571% of the parent article's pageviews.
 * Delete – As per nomination by User:ToThAc. Portal had 9 daily pageviews in Jan19-Jun19, as opposed to 1050 daily pageviews for article.  As noted, 15 articles (5 less than prescribed in portal guidelines, created in 2010 with subsequent drive-by edits only.  Wikipedia needs an article on these games; there is an article.

 * Delete per the nom and Robert M. This portal has been abandoned for almost eight years, save some one-off updates by a passing editor in 2018. It clearly fails WP:POG's requirement that portals should be about subjects broad enough to attract large numbers of maintainers and readers. This portal has had almost eight years of no steady maintainers and it had an abysmal 9 views per day from January 1 to June 30 2019 (despite the head article Asian Games having 1,050 views per day in the same period). This is a steady long term drop from 17 views per day from July 1 to Dec. 30 2015. Portals stand or fall on their merits in the now, not what could someday hypothetically happen with them, and this one falls flat. I oppose re-creation, as nearly eight years of hard evidence shows the Asian Games are not a broad enough topic to attract readers or maintainers. Newshunter12 (talk) 02:47, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Note to closing admin. I don't want in any way to prejudge the outcome ... but if you close this discussion as delete, please can you not remove the backlinks?  I have an AWB setup which allows me to easily replace them with links to the next most specific portal(s) (in this case Portal:Sports + Portal:Asia), without creating duplicate entries. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 21:54, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, and oppose re-creation. Low readership + poor maintenance = clear fail of the WP:POG requirement that portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers". -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 21:58, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
