Portal:EastEnders

 * – (View MfD)

Undermaintained portal. I'd say WP:POG is not met here. ToThAc (talk) 18:49, 7 September 2019 (UTC) https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&start=2019-01-01&end=2019-08-31&pages=Portal:EastEnders The median view rate is 9. The mean view rate is 23. Further inspection shows that the higher period is the period when the first MFD was opened until the MFD was closed as No Consensus. Editors who think that there is mystical value to portals look at this portal when its existence is challenged, and otherwise the viewing is not much above noise.
 * A grand total of nine selected articles; while all of them are on the higher end of the quality scale, this is not enough to satisfy the general minimum of twenty.
 * While the portal's creator is still currently active, they have not done enough to adequately maintain this portal (most edits nowadays are just maintenance).
 * Pageviews have remained relatively low since the last MFD nomination despite a recent spike; in the first half of 2019, the average daily count made up roughly 1.09% of the parent article's average daily pageviews in the same time period.
 * Weak Delete as per User:ToThAc -
 * When the portal was last nominated for deletion, it had 9 articles (1 article, 1 biography, 4 characters, 3 episodes), mostly created in 2018 by content forking, none more recent than 2018. There has no maintenance of the articles since the first MFD, so that the portal does not appear to be maintained.
 * An examination of the pageview rate for this portal for 1 Jan 19 - 31 Aug 19 is interesting:
 * Not broad coverage (regardless of whether a single show can be theoretically broad coverage), not a high viewing rate even when there is introspection, not current maintenance.  There is no short-term reason to expect that a re-creation of this portal will address the problems.  Any proposed re-creation of this portal using a more modern design, and taking into account the failures of many portals, and including a maintenance plan (since lack of maintenance is a problem with most portals), can go to Deletion Review.

 * Delete per the nom and Robert M. Too narrow a topic, not maintained, low readership, which adds up to a clear fail of the WP:POG requirement that portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers". I oppose re-creation, as a single TV show is inherently not a broad enough topic to warrant a portal. Newshunter12 (talk) 19:47, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Note to closing admin. I don't want in any way to prejudge the outcome ... but if you close this discussion as delete, please can you not remove the backlinks?  I have an AWB setup which allows me to easily replace them with links to the next most specific portal(s) (in this case Portal:Television in the United Kingdom), without creating duplicate entries. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 23:34, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, and oppose re-creation. Narow topic (single TV show) = low readership + poor maintenance = clear fail of the WP:POG requirement that portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers". -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 21:44, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
