Portal:Geography of Canada


Old portal I created that is no longer maintained and with the fact most portals are not seen by the majority of readers (60 percent drop in views since 2012) really only need the main country portal.....that is being fixed for mobile views. Moxy 🍁 20:31, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per the nom. This portal has been abandoned for over nine years, save for a handful of small one off updates by passing editors over the years, and was never completed, which is why its sub-pages are littered with red links to never added materials. It clearly fails WP:POG's requirement that portals should be about subjects broad enough to attract large numbers of maintainers and readers. This portal has had nearly a decade of no maintainers and it had a very low 18 views per day from January 1 to June 30 2019. Portals stand or fall on their merits in the now, not what could someday hypothetically happen with them, and this one falls flat. I oppose re-creation, as nearly a decade of hard evidence shows the geography of Canada is not a broad enough topic to attract readers or maintainers. Newshunter12 (talk) 03:59, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Moxy and NH12. Very little maintenance since 2010.   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, can go to Deletion Review.

 * Note to closing admin. If you close this 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:Canada and Portal:Geography), without creating duplicate entries. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 22:49, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
