The result of the discussion was deleted. Early close per WP:SNOW. Redirect to Portal Prelude created in its place.--Aervanath (talk) 10:21, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Portal:Prelude
This article is basically a duplicate (not copy, however) of the information from Portal Prelude - which was ultimately made into a redirect to Portal (video game) due to the lack of significant information to make a full article. This article should not exist in the "Portal" namespace as it is not a true portal. M ASEM 13:56, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Does not belong in the Portal namespace. And yeah, it also already exists in the article namespace. Gary King  ( talk ) 19:50, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete the user seems to be lost in portal space, they wanted an article with a title starting with the text "Portal:". Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:25, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * G2 I'll call this a test page since they probably created it by accident.

 * Comment The problem, one on which we haven't much touched, is that Portal:Prelude is a plausible search for Portal: Prelude, as which Portal Prelude was, AFAICT, sometimes styled (Portal (video game) suggests that other sequels adopted the colon formulation), such that even as this certainly shouldn't exist as an article in portal space, it might be an appropriate and useful cross-namespace redirect (as is Portal: Still Alive), at least until someone undertakes to create an actual Portal (video game) portal.

 * Quite. We can always redirect this if need be as I for one cannot see a Portal titled "Prelude".   GARDEN  09:58, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete on the grounds that it is redundant to Portal Prelude. Salavat (talk) 02:25, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Thanks! Fin©™ 11:12, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, not a portal and redundant to the article. GARDEN  09:56, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
