Portal:Jacksonville, Florida


Another abandoned mini-portal from the bottom of the pageview pile, Portal:Jacksonville, Florida. This portal had 72 pageviews during the period of 1 January 2019 to 28 February 2019. That is total pageviews, not average. The daily pageview rate is 1, as opposed to 2232 for the head article. There has been no maintenance on the 19 articles since the portal was created in 2013. The total of 19 articles wouldn’t be bad if they were swapped out occasionally and viewed moderately, but a portal with an average of one daily pageview is a portal that doesn’t serve a purpose that couldn’t be served in some other way. (But the advocates of portals have never provided a straightforward explanation of what they intend to be the benefits of portals, which comes down to WP:ILIKEIT.) Delete. No need to redirect. No need to be ready for a new portal. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:34, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per the nom. WP:POG states portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers". This portal has a page view rate of just one per day despite the head article having thousands of views per day, and has had no maintainers for over five years, which demonstrates how narrow a topic this is. This junk portal has been abandoned for over five years and was essentially still-born. Nothing was done with its articles after it was created. With this in mind, I am strongly against allowing recreation, as a portal is clearly not warranted for this topic. Newshunter12 (talk) 02:41, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator.
 * As NH12 rightly notes, 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 portal fails all three parts of that requirement:
 * It's a city of less than 900,000 people, which is not a broad enough topic. The MFD logs are full of portals on cities of that size in Europe and North America which were deleted because they were abandoned and/or unread.
 * This portal has not been maintained.
 * This portal has almost no readers.
 * So there is zero likelihood that it will "attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers". Time to just delete it. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 23:55, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Note redirects: P:JAX, Portal:Jacksonville. This will need to be checked when clearing backlinks. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 23:55, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Also note that Category:Jacksonville portal selected articles will be emptied if the portal is deleted. The category should be speedy deleted per WP:G6. ---  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 17:33, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
