Portal:Java


Automated portal about the island of Java, which draws its "selected articles" list solely from the head article, of which it is therefore a WP:REDUNDANTFORK.

This practice of hoovering links from the head article can also produce absurd results, as was seen at WP:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Lusaka.

There is no previous manual version. This portals was created by @The Transhumanist as an automated page.

The island of Java may qualify as a broad topic, per the WP:POG requirement that portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers". But until someone decides to build and maintain a curated portal which actually adds value to readers, it is unfair to readers to waste their time by luring them to this automated page.

So I propose that this portal per WP:TNT, without prejudice to recreating a curated portal in accordance with whatever criteria the community may have agreed at that time. Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:03, 12 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete - Automated portal,  0 subpages, created 2018-08-26 18:25:46 by User:TTH, useless navigation tool, redundant to the existing articles and navboxes, and of lower quality: Portal:Java. Pldx1 (talk) 17:44, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - There is no reason to think that this automated portal, created recklessly by the portal platoon, is any better than other automated portals. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:37, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:REDUNDANTFORK and WP:MEATBOT.  SITH   (talk)   11:32, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
