Portal:Malayalam cinema


A non-portal about Malayalam cinema.

Created in December 2017‎ by, who has been indef-blocked as a sockpuppet since July 2018.

Nothing here except two boxes, listed in the v short list at Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Malayalam cinema:
 * Portal:Malayalam cinema/Intro, which is a content-forked excerpt of of the lead of the article Malayalam cinema
 * Portal:Malayalam cinema/Featured content, a fake navbox

I don't know how broad a topic this is, so I propose that this portal and its sub-pages 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) 20:07, 18 May 2019 (UTC) I have copied Portal:Malayalam cinema/Featured content to WP:WikiProject Kerala/Malayalam cinema recognised content, and categorised it in Category:Indian cinema task force and Category:WikiProject Kerala. Problem solved! -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 15:44, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - If the breadth of the topic area is measured by views of the head article, it is 721 daily pageviews in the baseline period, as opposed to 7 pageviews of the portal. A portal will have to be maintained by an amateur in the etymological sense of someone who is doing it out of love for the activity (and not even out of love for Wikipedia).

 * Keep: It is needed to keep track of and store all featured content related to Malayalam cinema. -- Kailash29792 (talk)  09:11, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
 * if you want to keep such a list, it doesn't need a whole portal. Jan–Feb 2019, the portal got only 7 pagewiews per day, compared with 721 pageviews per day for the head article Malayalam cinema.  Just move or copy the wee list to a Wikiproject page, and then you can track of and store all featured content related to Malayalam cinema without wasting readers's time on this non-portal. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 15:10, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Good idea, but unfortunately I do not know how to create a new WikiProject properly. Kailash29792 (talk)  15:25, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
 * you don't need a new project lust to store on one page.
 * Delete. Per nom. This portal is doing little to keep track of Malayalam Cinema over the main article (and its navbox).  This portal is so unsupported, that it  depreciates the integrity of the main article+navbox (which are in ok shape).  The best way to support Malayalam Cinema on WP is to further develop the main article to B-class (if not GA class), and ensure the navbox has all the necessary links to other Malayalam Cinema articles.  At the moment, a reader reaching this portal will get the wrong impression that Malayalam Cinema is not well supported on WP. Britishfinance (talk) 13:47, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
