Portal:Cheese dishes


An automated portal with many of the automated portal issues and several others

Legacypac (talk) 20:13, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) Automatic DYK harvesting: DYKs 1, 2, and 3 are about cheese making not cheese dishes. DKY 4 is "... that the Python Package Index is also known as the Cheese Shop, a reference to the Monty Python sketch?" where the Python target does not even use the word cheese.  Must be an old DYK?
 * 2) Poor quality articles in scope. Many of the associated articles are stubs or poorly referenced. 3/4 of pages in Category:Cheese soups are stubs. Featured articke Poulet au fromage has an orange notice on it. Featured image Moretum is a stub and so on. Many food articles are permastubs.
 * 3) Based on List of cheese dishes and a coresponding nav box. I don't believe I've ever seen a portal based on a list topic. The list is a much better way to explore the topic anyway.
 * 4) This is very close in scope to (also automated) Portal:Cheese since the only uses for cheese are feeding humans and mice. Cheese dishes is immediately under Cheese in the category tree. Several of the auto harvested DYKs are the same. List of cheese dishes is a featured article at Portal:Cheese etc. If we need portals at all, a better course of action would be for Portal Project people to collaborate to build a proporly curated portal around Cheese, including culinary uses, which features high quality content, instead of this automated repackaging of navboxes.
 * Delete - Cheese can be fed to other species besides humans and mice, but that is irrelevant. Why do we need two overlapping portals?  When I see overlapping portals that were created in 2018 or early 2019, my inclination is not to merge or redirect but to delete all.  Delete this one.

 * Merge with Portal:Cheese (or redirect if Portal:Cheese contains everything in Portal:Cheese dishes). List article as introduction? Seriously?? — python coder (talk &#124; contribs) 22:04, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - An automated portal, created 2018-10-23T14:11:59Z, only worth of an automated deletion. Pldx1 (talk) 14:23, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge with Portal:Cheese, we don't need two cheese portals.Catfurball (talk) 14:40, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Too narrow a topic; duplicates the navbox Template:Cheese dishes; yet more portsalspam. Those calling for a "merge" to Portal:Cheese misundeestand how the automated portals work.. There is nothing here to merge. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:07, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
