Portal:Burkina Faso


Stillborn portal. Six selected articles, three bios. Last updated in 2010. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 17:33, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per the nom. This junk micro-portal has been abandoned for over nine years after being dumped two months after it was created. 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 over nine years of no maintainers and it had an abysmal 26 views per day in June and July 2019 (despite the head article Burkina Faso having 2481 views per day in the same period). Portals stand or fall on their merits in the now, not what could someday hypothetically happen with them, and this one falls flat. I am strongly against allowing recreation, as nearly a decade of hard evidence shows Burkina Faso is not a broad enough topic to attract readers or maintainers.

 * Delete as per Mark S and NH12. I don't consider 26 daily pageviews abysmal.  That is pretty good for portals, because readers are usually looking for articles rather than for portals.  However, an almost adequately viewed unmaintained portal is an unmaintained portal.  Any re-creation should be via Deletion Review.  Robert McClenon (talk) 00:26, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
