Portal:Jerome K. Jerome


A micro-portal with only 7 articles: the author Jerome K. Jerome, plus 6 pages in Category:Works by Jerome K. Jerome and its subcat. That falls way short of even the risibly low minimum of 20 set at WP:PORTG. These pages are already interlinked by the navbox Template:Jerome K. Jerome, which offers vastly superior navigation because
 * 1)  it displays all the links at the same time (the portal displays only one), and
 * 2) it is present on each of the content pages, whereas the portal is usable only by navigating to a different page.

Note that like most other micro-portals, this none was created by. It is notable for having been created in December, long after TTH became in September aware that their spree of micro-portal-spam was contested. The scope of this portal is pretty rigidly defined by the finite set of JKJ's notable works, so unlike some other micro-portals, it never had any remotely plausible prospect of expansion. It would be helpful if TTH explained how it ever came to be created.-- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:50, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete the author died in 1927 so it is unlikely this topic may grow. Why was this created exactly? Legacypac (talk) 05:10, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - User:Legacypac - It was probably created because creating portals is fun (but is an empty sort of fun that puts a burden on the community). Robert McClenon (talk) 14:50, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
