Portal:Flodden


Abandoned portal, no active on it in quite some time and it looks half done. Recommending deletion, looking for community input to that effect. TomStar81 (Talk) 13:35, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete The topic area seems too narrow for a portal. -- John of Reading (talk) 17:32, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete (but wait a bit!) Definitely too narrow for a portal but I've recently learned that this was set up by a volunteer from the Flodden Ecomuseum in a slightly clunky first attempt to begin sharing their content through Wikipedia. I've just had a meeting with the project co-ordinator and he wants to revive the relationship and this may lead to significant improvements in content by their experts and image donations from their collections. I explained that the portal was a bit of a dead end but just want to give them the chance to understand things a bit before their first bit of work disappears. Cheers!

 * Just for the record this was not a sudden decision, the matter of the portal was raised here and here, however no one really had a solution better than deletion at the time. As for the portal itself: We've waited six months or so to move on an MFD, so I think we can wait a little while longer to axe the portal if it is in the project's best interest.
 * Cheers for the info and the patience! If I don't have answer from them in the next fortnight I think it can be safely deleted. Cheers PatHadley (talk) 15:40, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete if no longer needed and restart if ever needed again especially if any planned activity is not anytime soon. SwisterTwister   talk  23:22, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
