Portal:Billy the Kid


Per WP:POG portals should be about broad topics. The scope of this one is cultural depictions of Billy the Kid, along with a few people who had some sort of connection to him. There are quite a few of these but not nearly enough to make it a broad topic.  Hut 8.5  19:34, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete although the chirality of the image is interesting, that isn't a reason for a portal. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:42, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete no portals about individuals. Legacypac (talk) 23:40, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I think that's a bit harsh. I'm not sure about deleting, say, Portal:Shakespeare. But Billy the Kid isn't nearly that influential.  Hut 8.5  07:51, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Shakespeare is a person but beyond that a major field of academic study. A portal about just the man (which we know little about) would be inappropriate but a scope Works of Shakespeare is a suitably wide topic. Legacypac (talk) 06:00, 24 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete I agree with Hut 8.5 that there are some individuals who can sustain a portal, Portal:Isaac Asimov and Portal:Donald Trump are examples, but Billy the Kid is not one them - should be (and probably is) covered at Portal:American Frontier. Thryduulf (talk) 12:13, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to a broader portal on the Old West. I agree this is too narrow.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  16:11, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
