Portal:August Derleth


Single person portal previous erroniously kept at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:August Derleth. Fails WP:POG with only 17 articles with zero articles outside stuff he wrote and there seems to be no category for him, but three categories for his works. The nav box andarticle is the best way to explore his works. A list of his works article could be done as well. . Legacypac (talk) 08:25, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Despite the last discussion I don't see how this could be anymore useful than the main article (August Derleth). This portals contents are basically just the lead of the main article and Template:August Derleth, which is already on the main article. No different from all the other mass created portals...

 * Delete - No improvement over the last, although I should point out that there are more than 17 articles linked (not sure where the number came from).-- Auric   talk  11:39, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Me either, I got it off the last MFD statement but now I've adjusted the nomination. Ping User:BrownHairedGirl as she looked at this before Legacypac (talk) 18:16, 7 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete - I disagree with the erroneous statement that the portal was erroniously kept, but this portal was controversial in September 2018 and is still not needed, and was kept partly because some editors were waiting for a rework of the portal guidelines.

 * Delete - An automated portal, created 2018-08-27T00:08:37Z, only worth of an automated deletion. Pldx1 (talk) 07:31, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete as a pointless content fork. This page is based solely on the navbox Template:August Derleth, but the navbox does the job better because it is present on all the pages in its set, whereas the portal requires navigation to a separate page.  The head article is  a significantly better navigational hub than the portal.
 * @Legacypac and @Auric, sorry about that figure of 17, which is simply wrong. I didn't understand at the time that the portal software displays only a selection of navbox items.  The correct figures are: 57 article-space links on the navbox (apart from the head article).  53 of those are unique non-stubs.  However, now that I see more of how these portals made, I see that it wouldn't matter if the navbox had 200 unique links: the portal would still be a fork of the navbox, and a lot less useful than the navbox 'cos it displays only one item at a time. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:20, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
