Portal:Pichilemu

 * and all subpages

Very small town in Chile of 13,000 people. Portal abandoned with the news section being dated from 2010-2012 but just shows the month and day without the year so it looks current. The selected bio for me is a guy who got 66 votes and less than 1% in an election. He does not actually have an article but read more links to a Costa Rican ball player. Check out the other inappropriate static bios here Portal:Pichilemu/Selected_biography Legacypac (talk) 01:43, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. Courtesy ping: portal created 2010-08-13T02:19:47Z by User:Diego Grez-Cañete. Pldx1 (talk) 14:05, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Creator is blocked but was notified on his talkpage. Further investigation found a huge walled garden of pages around this 13,000 person town including a bio for nearly every mayor in it's history which is a big WP:NPOL failure. Someone is passionate about their little town to the point of ignoring our notability guidelines, but that is cleanup for another board. Legacypac (talk) 15:56, 7 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep - historic portal. The beach of Punta de Lobos, about 200 km south of Valparaiso, is well-known internationally for being a good place for surfing and the practice of kiteboarding. Its waves vary between two and three meters high, allowing surfers of different skill levels to select their waves. The town of Punta de Lobos is characterized by its fine gray sand, and is surrounded by cliffs which are 50 metres high. Its odd rocks (Rocas de Punta de Lobos) are frequented by sea-lions. Lets keep a place for the sea-lions to stay, at least during the current cleaning process. Pldx1 (talk) 17:05, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete for various reasons, including that the creating user has been banned for general disruption. Too narrow a topic to be worth keeping even if another editor will maintain.  Robert McClenon (talk) 10:38, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:POG, which requires that portals should be about a "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers".
 * A town of only 13,000 people is not a "broad topic".
 * It also fails the other part of that POG criterion, "attract large numbers of interested readers". Here's the daily average pageviews for the first 3 months of each of the last few years:
 * 2019: 6
 * 2018: 8
 * 2107: 9 (distorted by 2 spikes)
 * 2016: 7
 * If the WP:WikiProject Portals had actually been curating and monitoring portals, this should have been deleted years ago. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:30, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
