Portal:Eifel

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

Stale portal.

Portal:Eifel/New Articles hasn't been updated since 2018.

Portal:Eifel/Good is blank. Schierbecker (talk) 19:17, 27 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Comment – There is no requirement to change a portal's content on any particular schedule. Stability is not a reason for deletion.  The previous deletion attempt, which reached no consensus, was based mainly on WP:POG, a proposed guideline which was not adopted. Certes (talk) 19:37, 27 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete derelict portal-oddity comprising a huge manually curated list of blue and red links and an epic gallery. In the part in which it has the classically bad portal architecture, it can't be automated because the WikiProject infrastructure necessary for that is missing (the underlying reason for this is the narrowness of the topic). It can't be reasonably guessed that visiting this page benefits the reader in any way.—Alalch E. 13:08, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete not worth keeping this portal. Catfurball (talk) 20:32, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Neutral pending a statement from User:Bermicourt that he still wants to keep this portal. The function of this portal is that it illustrates how portals should be designed, without using subpages, so that it does not become out of date.  This is one of the least viewed portals in the English Wikipedia, but it is an excellent classroom example of good portal design.  It has 76 transcluded images and 225 transcluded articles.  The articles have not changed because there are enough of them that they don't need to change.  Robert McClenon (talk) 04:48, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment - "Stale portal" may refer to either of two different concerns. First, it may mean that the articles and images have not been updated.  That is problematic if the subject area is changing or evolving.  Second, if the portal has subpages, which are an unsound architecture, it may mean that the subpages have not been updated when the articles were updated.  This portal uses transclusion, so that the second problem does not apply.  With 225 articles, the article list does not need regular updates.  Robert McClenon (talk) 04:48, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete - Subset with expansion.svg) ⊆ B(Portal:Countries) and B ⊆ C(Portal:Geography), A set of three subportal levels. This is the number of subportals that makes sense.]]As explained in Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Eifel. Guilherme Burn (talk) 16:25, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
