Portal:Executables


Pretty useless portal on a subject which isn't suitable per WP:POG. There is no category associated with the subject, which is a required element of a portal. There aren't enough quality articles (above start class) to populate the featured content section, and even the main article is start-class with a maintenance tag. The "selected images" section has one image, an uninformative hex display which is also shown twice in case you missed it the first time. Scope comprises the contents of Template:Executables and is pretty narrow.  Hut 8.5  16:47, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete created because a template and a title exists. Legacypac (talk) 17:21, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - A non-imageable non-viewable topic. Anything to be learned is to be learned from the article.  I would say "Aaaa" just after Schumann, but that might not be understood to be a reference to that tragic figure.  Of course, an executable can produce an 880-hertz note, but that requires that it know what hardware it is using.  A useless portal.  I have used a lot of .exe and .com files, and that doesn't make the portal useful.  Robert McClenon (talk) 18:36, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, way too little content and the base page is in sorry shape. Work on fixing executable first. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:40, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
