Portal:Falun Gong

 * – (View MfD)

Another pointless portal page, created 13 years ago and then abandoned apart from formatting tweaks.

It's a static page, with only one selection available for each box. Purging the page makes no changes, and Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Falun Gong shows that's because there is only one of each. I have found no trace of any other pages.

The head article Falun Gong (with the navbox Template:Falun Gong) is a much better navigational hub.

This is not a portal at all. It's just a slim single-issue, single-sided leaflet. It's a waste of the time of every one of the 13 readers who are lured here every day by links from other pages.

Note that Falun Gong 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 year, there is no reason to expect an influx of editors to curate and maintain it. So I propose that this portal be deleted without prejudice to recreating a curated portal not based on a single navbox or list, in accordance with whatever criteria the community may have agreed at that time.

 * Delete never finished and abandoned. Legacypac (talk) 16:22, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete:
 * The history of this portal shows that its originator created this portal and departed (perhaps getting lost on a boat trip up the Nile from Cairo).
 * It has then been unmaintained.
 * Any portal, the subject of which has been the subject of ArbCom discretionary sanctions, is probably a Very Bad Idea.
 * This portal and other portals are little used. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:54, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Top and foremost, this portal has no readers: [|Falun_Gong wmflabs] shows 13 views per day, to be compared to the 2700 views per day of the article. ONE article, ONE biography, ONE image (which was deleted 5 March 2008 and never replaced). In fact, this portal don't even exists. Pldx1 (talk) 15:53, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete: Almost certainly created by editors with close connections to Falun Gong. Very likely written only to promote the subject, propagate their POV and attack the Chinese Government. Definite too insignificant for its own portal. -- &#61;*&#61; XHCN Quang Minh &#61;*&#61; (talk) 12:59, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
 * delete per cautious nomination, and noting the fork problem above arising from nigh-incontestable assemblages created outside main-space norms of editing. cygnis insignis 16:22, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Unmaintained, low-quality and written like a cringy shrine promoting this new religious movement and its leaders, rather than a objective description. My eyes hurts. Tsumikiria⧸ 🌹🌉 18:58, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
