Portal:Cretaceous

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

Out-of-date portal using never-updated copies of articles from 2014.

Portal:Cretaceous/Natural world articles - The first couple of articles are almost identical to Portal:Paleozoic/Natural world articles. Evolutionary history of life, archaea, bacteria, fungus, virus, bivalvia are great articles I'm sure, but what do they have to do with the Cretaceous? I must have slept through the part in Jurassic Park where the two-story tall Norovirus crashes through the theme park visitor center.

Portal:Cretaceous/Science, culture, and economics articles - This sustantially duplicates Portal:Paleozoic/Science, culture, and economics articles. Schierbecker (talk) 06:44, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete - This portal was created Feb. 2014 by an editor who edits sporadically, and has had no recent maintenance. This portal, like most older portals, has an architecture in which the displayed articles are partial copies of the selected articles, and thus are content forks which are not updated when the articles are updated.  The portal had an average of 6 daily pageviews in 2023, while the main article had an average of 1480 daily pageviews.  It can be seen that hardly anyone is using the portal, and hardly anyone ever has used the portal, and it does not reflect updates to the encyclopedia.
