Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was:  redirect to Portal:Medicine. Consensus is certainly that while the topic is portal worthy the current page is useless, but one editor thinks the inbound links should be salvaged and another that a valid portal could be created. Thus redirecting rather than deleting. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:45, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Portal:Nursing


Abandoned draft portal created in 2006 by who was blocked in 2007 for massive sockupptery.

Apart from the occasional formatting tweak, this portal remains almost unchanged since it was abandoned as a draft when its creator was blocked. See the subpages: Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Nursing.

Nursing is obviously a broad topic, which could sustain a fine portal if anyone ever wanted to make one. But this 13-year-old static, outdated page comes nowhere near satisfying the WP:PORTAL principle "Portals serve as enhanced 'Main Pages' for specific broad subjects". The head article nursing and the navbox Template:Nursing offer much better navigation, much better sampling of topics, and more pictures. Time to stop wasting the time of readers by luring them to the abandoned draft of a sockmaster.

So I propose that these portal and its subpages be deleted per WP:TNT, without prejudice to recreating a curated portal in accordance with whatever criteria the community may have agreed at that time. Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:58, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete :
 * Another heritage portal by a banned user, not having been maintained, because no one cares if portals are maintained.
 * A portal that was created by a user who has been banned for sockpuppetry and was blocked by an admin who has since been banned by the ArbCom. Let the circle be unbroken.
 * Without prejudice (and without phobias). Robert McClenon (talk) 02:48, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Portal:Medicine, a closely-enough related portal, and delete the subpages. Portal:Nursing has nearly 2000 inbound links.  UnitedStatesian (talk) 04:14, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment This is very clearly a topic suitable for a portal, and whatever the outcome it must be without prejudice to it's (re)creation as a maintained portal when someone steps forward to do that. Thryduulf (talk) 12:46, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
