Portal:Crystallography

 * – (View MfD)

A non-portal, with only one selected article, and one picture. See Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Crystallography for a list of subpages, and try purging the portal page to generate an update: nothing changes.

It was created in 2006, and nominated for deletion in 2012 at WP:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Xray Crystallography, on grounds of its undeveloped uselessness. It was kept in the hope of improvement, and renamed from to Portal:Crystallography, but after nearly 13 years it's still a portal to nowhere.

Note that Crystallography is a Level-4 Vital Article,i.e. in the 1,001–10,000 range of priority topics. Given the very poor shape of many higher-priority portals and the neglect of this portal over the last 13 years, there is no reason to expect an influx of editors to curate and maintain it.

Please can we just delete it, and stop wasting the time of the 8 readers per day (Jan–Mar 2109 average) who are lured here by its 9 links from articles, 14 links from categories, and 9 links from other portals? Thirteen years is way more than long enough to keep advertising this pointless page to readers. Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:46, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete spammed portal links is the only reason it gets any views. No readers are searching for this portal. Legacypac (talk) 18:52, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete unless anyone cares to take it on. Crystallography could form the basis of a decent portal, but this is static & abandoned. Espresso Addict (talk) 04:02, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - No improvement in seven years. I concur with what User:SmokeyJoe said, which is that there are some absurd statements in the nomination that indicate that Portals probably do not belong in Wikipedia.  Since we decided a year ago not to deprecate all of them, they require strict scrutiny.  Robert McClenon (talk) 14:55, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
