Portal:Battlestar Galactica

 * – (View MfD)

Automated pseudo-portal based on a single navbox of which it is a WP:REDUNDANTFORK. Recreation of redirected dead portal.

This portal was created in March 2006‎. In 2009, it was nominated by @Magioladitis at WP:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Battlestar Galactica as a Dead portal. The discussion closed as redirect to WikiProject Battlestar Galactica.

In October 2018‎, @The Transhumanist converted the redirect into an automated portal.

The overwhelming consensus at two recent, well-attended, WP:CENT-advertised mass nominations, each of over a thousand portal pages, is that a portal which simply reproduces a navbox in a different form is of no use and shoukd be deleted. See MFD:Mass-created portals based on a single navbox and MFD:Second batch of mass-created portals based on a single navbox.

There is currently no documented consensus about the appropriateness of single TV shows as topics for a portal. Recent MFDs seem to conclude not, but this may require further discussion.

So I propose that this portal and its subpages be deleted without prejudice to recreating a curated portal not based on a single navbox, in accordance with whatever criteria the community may have agreed at that time. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 19:40, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete do not recreate. This is a single media franchise and we have deleted these by discussion as too narrow a scope. Legacypac (talk) 21:41, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete with prejudice per Legacypac. Insufficient scope for a standalone portal. Tazerdadog (talk) 22:12, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete with a Silver bullet. This is a zombie portal.  It could be G4, but we are here.  There is a documented consensus on this particular TV show.  Robert McClenon (talk) 02:42, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm well acquainted with this franchise; it's one of my favorites. And even so I cannot see how we would have enough material about it to justify a portal. The navbox and category are quite sufficient. Vanamonde (Talk) 17:51, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment  - Old portal,  0 subpages, created 2006-03-28 05:32:06 by User:Bugs5382. A comment by a maintainer, if any, could make the day. Portal:Battlestar Galactica. Pldx1 (talk) 21:43, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - From This WikiProject is believed to be inactive, no one will come and defend this abandoned portal. Pldx1 (talk) 10:44, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
