Portal:Carpathian Ruthenia


Draft portal abandoned since 2007.
 * Head article: Carpathian Ruthenia
 * Sub-pages: Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Carpathian Ruthenia

This portal was created in June 2007‎ by, who last edited in 2013. It never got beyond draft stage: one selected article, one selected biography, one selected picture, one DYK page with one entry, and news page whose only entry isn't news: "New pages: Anthem of the Zakarpattia Oblast", which actually links to the Ukrainian-language Wikipedia.

Portal:Carpathian Ruthenia/Did you know has had a series of poor edits reverted, but Portal:Carpathian Ruthenia/Selected article has barely changed since its creation in 2007, and Portal:Carpathian Ruthenia/Selected biography was last edited on 5 June 2007‎, the day after its creation.

Portal:Carpathian Ruthenia/Carpathian Ruthenia topics lists only 3 topics, which would be more usefully displayed as see-also links on the head article, or in a navbox.

So this is just a sparse, static page. Per WP:PORTAL, "Portals serve as enhanced 'Main Pages' for specific broad subjects", but this is not enhanced.

I don't know enough about the topic to assess how broad it is. I suspect that the breadth depends on how what historical period the portal would aim to cover, and them seems like a complex question, best left to those with a good knowledge of the historical region of Carpathian Ruthenia and its subsequent history. In a region of competing nationalisms, shifting boundaries and a history of bitter wars, its easy for the unskilled to stray of the NPOV path.

So I propose that this portal and its sub-pages be deleted without prejudice to recreating a curated portal in accordance with whatever criteria the community may have agreed at that time. Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:33, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - This is an abandoned portal that is a slide rather than a slideshow. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:24, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
