Portal:Jaguar Cars

 * – (View MfD)

Poor-quality semi-automated portal on a single company. It is effectively a badly-implemented WP:REDUNDANTFORK of a pair of navboxes.

This pseudo-poral consists solely of an image gallery and a "selected articles" list which is built from an embedded list of 68 pages:


 * Jaguar Cars
 * SS 1
 * Jaguar 2.4 Litre
 * Jaguar 3.4 Litre
 * Jaguar 3.8 Litre
 * SS 90
 * Jaguar 240
 * Jaguar 340
 * Jaguar 420 and Daimler Sovereign (1966–69)
 * Jaguar 420G
 * Jaguar C-Type
 * Jaguar C-XF
 * Jaguar D-Type
 * Jaguar E-Pace
 * Jaguar E-Type
 * Jaguar F-Pace
 * Jaguar F-Type
 * Jaguar I
 * Jaguar I-Pace
 * SS Jaguar 100
 * Jaguar XF
 * Jaguar Mark 1
 * Jaguar Mark 2
 * Jaguar Mark IV
 * Jaguar Mark V
 * Jaguar Mark VII
 * Jaguar Mark VIII
 * Jaguar Mark IX
 * Jaguar Mark X
 * Jaguar R
 * Jaguar R-Coupe
 * Jaguar S-Type
 * Jaguar S-Type (1963)
 * Jaguar Sovereign
 * Jaguar V-12
 * Jaguar X-Type
 * Jaguar XE
 * Jaguar XF (X250)
 * Jaguar XF (X260)
 * Jaguar XJ
 * Jaguar XJ (X300)
 * Jaguar XJ (X308)
 * Jaguar XJ (XJ40)
 * Jaguar XJ (X358)
 * Jaguar XJ (X350)
 * Jaguar XJ (X351)
 * Jaguar XJ6
 * Jaguar XJ12
 * Jaguar XJ13
 * Jaguar XJ220
 * Jaguar XJR
 * Jaguar XJR sportscars
 * Jaguar XJR-8
 * Jaguar XJR-9
 * Jaguar XJR-11
 * Jaguar XJR-12
 * Jaguar XJR-14
 * Jaguar XJR-15
 * Jaguar XJR-17
 * Jaguar XJS
 * Jaguar XK (X150)
 * Jaguar XK-E
 * Jaguar XK
 * Jaguar XK (X100)
 * Jaguar XK100
 * Jaguar XK120
 * Jaguar XK140
 * Jaguar XK150

All but six of these pages are linked from one or other of two navboxes, i.e. and. Both of these navboxes are transcluded in the head article Jaguar Cars, which is a vastly better navigational hub than the portal.

So despite the embedded list, this portal is effectively the same as an automated portal built off the two navboxes, with the exception that the embedded list includes six pages which are set indices:


 * Jaguar 2.4 Litre
 * Jaguar 3.4 Litre
 * Jaguar I
 * Jaguar XF
 * Jaguar R
 * Jaguar XJR

Those six pages shoukd not linked from the portal, so the manual work here actually makes this pseudo-portal worse than if it was fully automated.

Per WP:PORTAL, "Portals serve as enhanced "Main Pages" for specific broad subjects" ... but this is a significantly degraded version of the main page for the topic.

As usual, readers already vastly prefer the head article. In January–February 2019, the head article got 2,704 pageviews per day, but the portal got only 7 pageviews per day. That's 393 views of the head article for every view of the pseudo-portal. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 13:49, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Readers will be much better served by us having no portal for this topic. Just delete it. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 13:49, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - The term 'pseudo-portal' is good. This is one, and was created by the portal platoon in a wave of reckless portal creation.  Robert McClenon (talk) 20:51, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete  - Automated portal,  0 subpages, created 2018-10-23 10:48:48 by User:TTH, useless navigation tool, redundant to the existing navboxes, and of lower quality: Portal:Jaguar Cars. Pldx1 (talk) 13:59, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete these should be speedy deleted as uniformly poor quality creations. Legacypac (talk) 21:43, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete: I see why some users may find portals helpful. But they are only helpful when they are properly curated and thoughtfully laid out.  This is the exact opposite.    SITH   (talk)   12:58, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
