Portal:Jawaharlal Nehru


Delete There are very few cases where a single individual meets the breadth-of-subject-area requirements of the WP:POG guideline, and this is not one of those cases. That this is a one-click-created single-page portal makes the deletion case even stronger. UnitedStatesian (talk) 18:40, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete -
 * There have been 36 average daily page views for the portal, as opposed to 7,969 daily page views for the head article.
 * This is a one-click wonder. That is reason enough to delete it or replace it, and there is no candidate for a replacement.
 * The nominator wrote: 'There are very few cases where a single individual meets the breadth-of-subject-area requirements of the WP:POG guideline'.  I agree.  The nominator continues:  'and this is not one of those cases'.  I don't know.  The subject of this portal is the founder of a great nation.  User:UnitedStatesian Is that enough?
 * We should not be basing this decision on breadth-of-subject. There are other reasons to delete this specific portal.  Therefore this should be a nomination without prejudice to a future portal in accordance with future requirements.  Robert McClenon (talk) 21:16, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. for two reasons:
 * Narrow scope: As the nominator notes, this is a narrow topic.  Nehru was undoubtedly a major figure in Indian history, but we don't have enough coverage of the man and his works to support a portal.  Instead, this portal is bloated by topics related to the administration of which he was the leader.  Nehru was the Prime Minister of the cabinet government of a parliamentary democracy, not of a presidential democracy like the United States, let alone a dictator who ruled by decree.
 * Uncurated portal: Being pedantic, the nominator is slightly incorrect to say that this is a one-click-created single-page portal. It's a two-click portal. Still spam, but slightly more sophisticated spam. The portal was initially created as a navbox-clone, with its selected articles list drawn solely from , which resolves to Template:Jawaharlal Nehru.  That doesn't exist, so the first version of the portal just had a Lua error in the "selected articles" box. 16 days later, @The Transhumanist appeared and converted it to use an embedded list, which is why it is listed  in Category:Automated portals with embedded list.  However, while list appears to be curated, it is simply an indiscriminate dump of the contents of the bottom layer Category:Jawaharlal Nehru and of the bottom layer of one of its subcats: Category:Nehru administration.  This is the same issue as at numerous other similar MFDs, e.g. Volume, Drawing, Electricity, Julius Caesar, Habitats, and Shipwrecks.  It's simply disguised spam. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 00:24, 15 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete: narrow topic, uncurated and abandoned, redundant fork of related navboxes.   SITH   (talk)   11:53, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
