Portal:Maharashtra

 * – (View MfD)

Neglected portal. Another WP:POG failure. ToThAc (talk) 18:22, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Twelve selected articles; two are B-class, while the rest are either Start-class or C-class (with some ongoing assessment crises in a few of the articles).
 * Never maintained by the creator, who last edited in November 2010. One editor maintained the portal for a diminutive fourteen-thirds of a hour in November 2010; they haven't edited since late March 2019.
 * Average daily pageviews in the first half of 2019 are 13 for the portal versus 4684 for the parent article, or roughly .2775%.
 * Note to closing admin. I don't want in any way to prejudge the outcome ... but if you close this discussion as delete, please can you not remove the backlinks?  I have an AWB setup which allows me to easily replace them with links to the next most specific portal(s) (in this case Portal:India), without creating duplicate entries. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 19:36, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Low readership as indicated by nominator. 11 articles created as content forks in 2016; no maintenance since 2016.  Robert McClenon (talk) 00:45, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per the nom and Robert M. Too narrow a topic (six months of MfD has shown that sub-national regions hardly if ever are broad enough to sustain a portal), not maintained, low readership, which adds up to a clear fail of 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". I oppose re-creation, as a decade of hard evidence shows Maharashtra is not a broad enough topic to attract readers or maintainers. Newshunter12 (talk) 02:44, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per User:ToThAc and Robert McClenon. Low readership + poor maintenance = clear fail of 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".
 * Also oppose re-creation. After a decade of neglect, there is no reason to believe that a re-created portals would be any better maintained.--  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 00:54, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
