Portal:Nortel
This portal has been unmaintained for months, with the only significant edits being the insertion of blatant spam&mdash;which actually seems to be the entire purpose of this portal in the first place. Whatever non-promotional content here appears just as relevant in Portal:Telecommunication, so this portal is sort of a duplicate. The first MfD was thinly-commented on except by the portal's creator and two low-activity, single-purpose accounts. The sole argument from an established editor was to give time to flesh the portal out; however, more than three quarters have passed without any substantial cleanup. It is about time that this canned meat gets removed from the shelves. Pegasus &laquo;C&brvbar;T&raquo; 11:13, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - The standards against which a portal may be reviewed is at Wikipedia:Portal guidelines. This portal does not evidence enough interest in the portal to sustain the continuing need to update portal content. This portal is not associated with a WikiProject, making it less likely that a supply of new material will continually be generated for this portal. I think it is time to punch their ticket. -- Suntag  ☼  13:53, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. The portal looks like a corporate website. The only thing that is lacking is a price list. Ruslik (talk) 12:27, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
