Portal:Music of India

 * – (View MfD)

Poor quality automated pseudo-portal, with no non-automated version to revert to. It's a WP:REDUNDANTFORK of the head article Indian music.

This portal was created in February by. As with many of the other creations by this editor (see MFD:83 more navbox-based portals), there's not much sign of care: the creator's single edit left it with display errors which remain unfixed.

Unlike many other automated portals which repackage a single navbox, this one repackages the head article: Music of India, called by its redirect.

As usual, the head article is a much better navigational hub, and so is its navbox Template:Indian Music. Both display all the links simultaneously, where they can be snippet-previewed by unregistered readers simply by a mouseover of the link. The portal shows only one snippet preview at a time.

The way this pseudo-portal is constructed means it hoovers up all the links in the head article, regardless of whether they are appropriate. For example, in my first view of the article, the "selected article" was Beno, a list in which the only Indian topic is the diplomat Beno Zephine. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 16:19, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Yet another pseudo-portal by the portal platoon. As BHG says, no improvement over head article or navbox.  Robert McClenon (talk) 20:56, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. All portal creations by this user should be nominated for deletion. Uniformly useless one click wonders. Legacypac (talk) 18:43, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
