Portal:Newfoundland and Labrador


old portal that is no longer maintained full of outdated copy pasting Moxy 🍁 00:32, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 00:53, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete This portal has been abandoned for over eight years and was never completed, which is why all it's sub-pages are littered with red links to never added materials. It clearly fails WP:POG's requirement that portals should be about subjects broad enough to attract large numbers of maintainers and readers. This portal has had over eight years of no maintainers and it had a very low 11 views per day in June and July 2019 (despite the head article Newfoundland and Labrador having 1893 views per day in the same period). Portals stand or fall on their merits in the now, not what could someday hypothetically happen with them, and this one falls flat. I am strongly against allowing recreation, as nearly a decade of hard evidence shows Newfoundland and Labrador is not a broad enough topic to attract readers or maintainers.

 * Delete as per analysis by NH12. Only 11 articles including biographies.  One of the biographies identifies its subject as the Premier of the province, while the article correctly identifies her as a former Premier, which illustrates one of the weaknesses of forked subpages.  Heads of government change, peacefully in the land of peace, order, and good government, violently in some places.  Delete this portal peacefully.  Robert McClenon (talk) 02:55, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete per nominator and per @Newshunter12 + @Robert McClenon. This is yet another a long-abandoned mini-portal, whose selected articles consist of only 4 outdated content forks. It should have been deleted long ago.
 * WP:POG requires that portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers". This has attracted only trivially small numbers of readers, and no maintainers.
 * I also oppose recreation. We have a decade's evidence that editors don't want to maintain this one. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 01:02, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
