Portal:Italian Wars


Six selected Bios carbon dated to 2006 w/ no updates. Six selected events, five of which were created in 2006 (one was updated in 2007). The latest was created in 2008. Featured portal, whatever that means. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 23:06, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per the nom. This portal has been abandoned for over a decade. 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 over a decade of no maintainers and it had a very low 8 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 over a decade of hard evidence shows Italian wars is not a broad enough topic to attract readers or maintainers. Newshunter12 (talk) 00:43, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Mark S and NH12. Very little maintenance in more than a decade.  Any re-creation can go via Deletion Review.  Robert McClenon (talk) 22:04, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - I believe it is clear, which topics are narrow. A unique war (perhaps with the exception of WW I and II) does not meet WP:POG. Please note that this portal does not exist in the Italian language.Guilherme Burn (talk) 18:10, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator and per @Newshunter12 + @Robert McClenon + @Guilherme Burn.
 * This is yet another a long-abandoned mini-portal, whose selected articles consist only of outdated content forks. It should have been deleted long ago.
 * WP:POG requires that portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers". This has attracted only trivially small numbers of readers, and no maintainers.
 * I also oppose recreation. We have a thirteen year's abandonment as clear evidence that editors don't want to maintain this one. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 19:19, 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:Italy and Portal:War), without creating duplicate entries. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 22:10, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
