Portal:Kingston upon Hull


Automated navbox-based pseudo-portal, with no non-automated version.

This pseudo-portal draws its article list solely from the navbox Template:Kingston upon Hull, of which it is therefore a redundant fork. For a full explanation of why this type of portal is redundant, see the two mass deletions of similar portals: one, and two, where there was overwhelming consensus of a very high turnout to delete a total of 2,555 such portals.

The mass-deleted portals were all created by the portalspammer @The Transhumanist, who even created portals just for the heck of it.  This one was created by, who I am sure acted in good faith in accordance with hat appeared to be convention at the time, so this nomination is no criticism of Keith ... but despite the good faith, the clear community consensus is that this type of automated portal adds no value for readers.

Kingston upon Hull is a sea-port in England with a long history, and a population of over 250,000. It is quite well-documented on en.Wikipedia, so it could in theory be the subject of a viable portal if someone wants to do the hard work of researching it, building it and curating it, and then maintaining it. But unless and until that happens, it is unfair to readers to lure them to this sort of redundant fork.

So I propose that this portal be deleted 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) 00:46, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Do we really need an automated portal for every city with 300,000 people? How many portals is that?  And how many portal-maintainers?  No.  As for the originator of the portal, they were acting on the encouragement of the portal platoon, but we knew that.  Robert McClenon (talk) 02:13, 11 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete - Automated portal,  0 subpages, created 2018-10-29 00:55:48 by User:Keith D, c, redundant to the existing articles and navboxes, and of lower quality: Portal:Kingston upon Hull. Pldx1 (talk) 08:36, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete as an automated navbox portal it doesn't meaningfully expand on the main article. I'm not entirely sure that a city of this size is a suitable portal topic. It's the 24th largest urban area in the UK and there are several larger ones in the same region.  Hut 8.5  13:07, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
