Portal:History 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Old portal I created that is no longer maintained and with the fact most portals are not seen by the majority of readers (60 percent drop in views since 2012) really only need the main country portal.....that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 as per nominator. Viewing is better than some, but there is no maintenance.  See the table:

Any re-creation should only be via Deletion Review. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:07, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Page views are a bit better here because the inline version of the portal is used in articles so all our readers see it. Pages views really not a good determination of the portals quality but it seems the norm here..-- Moxy 🍁 01:51, 21 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete per the nom and the analysis done by Robert McClenon. This portal has been essentially abandoned for over nine years, and was never completed, which is why all 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. 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 history of Canada is not a broad enough topic to attract readers or maintainers. Newshunter12 (talk) 04:27, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
 * 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:History), without creating duplicate entries. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 22:45, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
