Portal:Chitral, Pakistan


Hertage portal about a city in Pakistan with under 500,000 people, a small city in that part of the world. The selected bio is for Israruddin which was deleted via PROD years ago. There are links off to language content (there appears to be a language by the same name as the city). Interestingly the news links are to mainpages of news organizations, which is better than stale news we find on other portals.

The selected articles are a mess of unrelated and distantly related content like Cinema of Afghanistan, a writing system, a big mountain chain, an Islamic calligraphy script, and so on.

For inclusion of random content, lack of clear focus on the city topic vs the language, and fairly small size of the city, there is not a good case to retain this portal. Legacypac (talk) 17:13, 16 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment. On first glance the topic seems potentially viable as Chitral is a district capital and former princely state capital with a reasonable population. Although the encyclopedia appears to have relatively limited content on the city, the district category is reasonably well populated. However, the root article has an orange-level tag and is barely more than a stub. The portal was created in 2012 and appears to have been rebooted by the Usual Suspects, which accounts for the current random selection; reviewers should look at the historical version, although there only appears to have ever been four selected articles, a single biography (a one-line stub deleted after an uncontested prod, but possibly notable), and four images.

 * Comment  - Old portal, 24 subpages, created 2012-09-20 08:32:23 by User:Rachitrali. A comment by a maintainer, if any, could make the day. Portal:Chitral, Pakistan. Pldx1 (talk) 20:50, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Another portal by a blocked sockpuppet. (A maintainer will not be the creator.)  I disagree with User:Espresso Addict that administrative subdivision capitals have any particular claim to portalhood.  Anyway this one does not.  Robert McClenon (talk) 00:24, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete This portal was abandoned for three years. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 06:37, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
