Portal:Billy Idol


Far too narrow a scope for a portal: only 39 articles. A set with this low a number of pages is better served by a head article and a navbox. We already have both: Billy Idol and Template:Billy Idol. Brown Haired Girl (talk) • (contribs) 00:14, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * PS This is simply a fancier navbox, located on a lonesome standalone page rather than handily appended to an article. I see nothing in WP:Portal guidelines to support this usage of a portal as a fancier navbox. -- Brown Haired Girl (talk) • (contribs) 13:06, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

*Keep as per the consensus over at some Wikispace which I forgot where consensus was to keep these - I personally disagree with it but hey ho, If you want portals deleted then it might be worth reopening another RFC on it but as it stands keep pretty much per the rfc and above. – Davey 2010 Talk 01:20, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 02:23, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. 39 is plenty of articles to constitute a broad enough scope for a portal, and I'm sure there are more that could be added. A portal is much more than a collection of links to articles plus a bit of information about the main subject - the idea that a head article and navbox serve the same purpose between them is nonsense.

 * Keep - If there is to be a minimum number of articles within a portal's scope for it to be appropriate (or some other broadness of topic clause), then a guideline should be established to that effect. Handling them individually without established guidance is undesirable and inefficient. — Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 21:32, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per Godsy et el. – Davey 2010 Talk 01:55, 29 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep – A functional navigational aid for those interested in the subject. North America1000 03:11, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Hold until we have consensus on the guidelines currently being discussed. Certes (talk) 00:43, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment – the guideline currently in place sets a low end threshold of articles needed of "about 20 articles". See Portal guidelines.  &mdash; The Transhumanist   19:48, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep – complements the root article by providing the rest of the subject on a single page via a convenient interface (slideshows).  &mdash; The Transhumanist   03:47, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
