Portal:Chhattisgarh


Automated navbox-forked portal on the Indian state of Chhattisgarh, with no curated version apart from a redlink farm.

Created on 4 March 2015‎ by

Redirected on 6 January 2016‎ to Portal:India by @DexDor, whose edit summary says replace by redir to higher level portal (this is just a copy of bit of article and a load of redlinks).

Page converted on 10 September 2018‎ by @The Transhumanist to an automated format which draws its "selected articles" list solely from the navbox Chhattisgarh. That makes the portal simply a bloated and redundant fork of the navbox. (For a full explanation of why this type of portal is redundant, see the two mass deletions of similar portals: one, and two, where there was overwhelming consensus of a very high turnout to delete a total of 2,555 such portals).

Chhattisgarh has a population of 25.5 million people, so in theory it might meet the WP:POG guidance that portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers". No sign of maintainers so far, but there is some remote but non-zero chance that may happen. But in the meantime there's no point in wasting readers' time with either the current portalspam page or the earlier sea of redlinks.

So I propose that this portal be deleted per WP:TNT, without prejudice to recreating a curated portal in accordance with whatever criteria the community may have agreed at that time. Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:10, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete:
 * User:BrownHairedGirl - If you will be repeatedly including the same standard text in MFD nominations, you can use templates that are meant to be substituted rather than transcluded.
 * Indian states have a way of being the subjects of portals that are either abandoned or created by empty automation. I have seen more of them than US states, although the US has more states than India.
 * See WP:Waiting for Portal Maintainers and don't wait for one.
 * Without prejudice when Godot shows up with a rabbit. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:54, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Abandoned draft of a portal, 3 subpages, created 2015-03-04 10:44:51 by User:AKS.9955. Never went alive. Nothing to keep. Already nuked by TTH using the fork of a navbox (= good decision, bad method). Portal:Chhattisgarh. Pldx1 (talk) 14:25, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and without prejudice to actively curated recreation.   SITH   (talk)   11:21, 14 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete. Per nom. Portal is simply is a carve-out of the main article+navbox, and the main article itself is tagged and in need of attention.  Can't see any future for this portal unless a committed editor takes it on; and even then (as with many portals), it would be better if they focused on improving the main articles.
