Portal:Nile


This is a sad example of the poor content we are serving to our readers with automated portals. This has been here for six months. Our portal about the Nile river serves up "Selected general articles" about the death metal band Nile. Is that the best we can do? I can see how theoretically the Nile river is a broad enough topic for a portal, but if this was created in less than one minute and in six months not another human being has touched it, then why do we have it? Let's delete it, and if and when someone wants to actually make a portal about the Nile river, it can be recreated as a real portal, instead of an embarrassment.

 * Delete No content other than an extract from Nile. The portal's text about an "American technical death metal band" confirms the failure of automated portals. Johnuniq (talk) 07:11, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete this covers three unrelated topics. The intro and photos are about the river. The selected articles and nav box is about the band, and the DYK is "... that humans and horses are dead-end hosts for the West Nile virus?" which is neither related to the river or the band. This is a great example why we need to speedy delete thr entire batch. Legacypac (talk) 15:49, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. An automated portal only worth of an automated deletion. Pldx1 (talk) 18:27, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - The portal as displayed at 0438, 6 April, illustrates the stupidity of automated portals, because it shows a DYK about West Nile fever (about 10,000 km west of the Nile) and an article about the band Nile. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:40, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. A great should be: DYK that Nile river was arrested in 2012 because of Marijuana distribution and an error in the script to transcribe the court order ? Pldx1 (talk) 09:21, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Haven’t been able to sleep the last few nights due to worry about the oncoming robot apocalypse, but now I am no longer worried. — python coder (talk &#124; contribs) 22:23, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Snow delete, may even qualify as db-test due to the completely disparate topics being grouped. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 02:28, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
