Portal:National Football League


Outdated and poorly maintained. Portal says 43-year-old Peyton Manning still plays for the Broncos and that Kevin Kolb plays for the Cardinals. No word on whether the Rams are playing in St. Louis. May need to screen page for concussions. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 06:46, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete due to lack of maintenance. You'd think if any portal could draw enough editors to keep it maintained it be this one, but it's not. Kinda shows how pointless the whole portal idea has become. oknazevad (talk) 12:42, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per funny, but true nomination. « Gonzo fan2007   (talk)  @ 14:13, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. WP:POG requires that portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers". But in practice, this portal has not attracted maintainers, and it has hardly any readers. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 15:54, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - This portal illustrates an inherent flaw of the heritage-style portal design with subpages, where the subpages are copies of the selected articles. If the selected articles are updated appropriately, the subpages present obsolete copies of the content of the subpages.  While any editor can  update the content of almost any article, updating the content of a subpage requires specialized technical knowledge.  This portal has 20 average daily pageviews, while the head article has 8691 average daily pageviews.  The limited viewing of course means that there is less likelihood that a reader will either update the portal or tag the portal as needing an update.  Oh, wait a minute.  Tagging via Twinkle isn't implemented for portals.  Robert McClenon (talk) 18:04, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - The article for the NFL is high quality already and garners exponentially more readers than this portal does. Toa Nidhiki05 01:29, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
