Portal:Historiography
The purpose of a portal is to aid navigation within a topic. This portal, however, does not serve any such purpose -- its sole content is a very old version of the lede of its main article, a single image, and four "see also" links. The portal was created in 2007, and the only subsequent edits appear to have been routine maintenance (e.g, spelling fixes and categorization). Zetawoof(&zeta;) 09:20, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete This long-abandoned portal does not come close to meeting our portal guidelines, and has not in the years since its creation. Parts of our portal guidelines that are not met here:
 * "The portal layout should be complete or there should be ongoing efforts to make the portal layout complete."
 * "The portal should be maintained"
 * Required portal content: Topics
 * Recommended portal content: Selected article, things you can do, in other projects, portals footer
 * "The portal subject area should have enough interest and articles to sustain a portal, including enough quality content articles above a Start-class to sustain the featured content section. To aid in this, the portal should be associated with a WikiProject to help ensure a supply of new material for the portal."

The lack of a WikiProject Historiography makes the salvage and maintenance of this portal extremely unlikely. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 15:12, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
