Portal:M*A*S*H
The WikiProject Associated with this portal was deleted. This portal his not been updated since before August 2009. It does get a few hits a month but I am not sure that justifies keeping it around. Kumioko (talk) 02:57, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Question How are static portals (that are not updated) regarded? Are they considered useful? I've never used portals for anything, but maybe some people (other than the creators!) get something out of them? -- Klein zach  03:55, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. M*A*S*H is more or less a static topic at this point, so it's not unexpected that the portal be infrequently changed. There is no requirement either that a WikiProject exist corresponding to the portal. Zetawoof (&zeta;) 07:23, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep for the same reasons given by Zetawolf. Portals do not require an associated WikiProject, nor are the required to be actively updated if the content doesn't require that. They are meant to one of several methods people can use to find information on a topic. I see no valid reason to delete it. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WikiProject Japan ! 07:38, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep This meets our portal guidelines. True, the guideline recommends that "the portal should be associated with a WikiProject to help ensure a supply of new material for the portal," but this portal did have an associated WikiProject until it was recently deleted at MfD. Deleting the WikiProject and then turning around and saying that we should deleted a good-looking portal because there's no associated WikiProject seems like a bad practice to me.
