Delete Multi-page portal on an individual who deos not meet the breadth-of-subject-area requirement of the WP:POG guideline. UnitedStatesian (talk) 02:24, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. This is labelled as a featured portal but was created in August 2017 after the process was terminated in March 2017. Espresso Addict (talk) 03:09, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete no portals for individuals/bios especially people I've not heard of. Also I should label all my creations as featured content now that we have precedent. Legacypac (talk) 05:09, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 * See WP:IDONTKNOWIT.
 * Rabindranath Tagore is one of the 20th century greatest writers, and the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. The fact that Legacypac has not heard of Tagore is reflection of Legacypac's own interests rather than of the significance of the topic.  Everyone can choose their own interests, but WP:IDONTKNOWIT is explicitly not grounds for deletion. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 11:59, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 * If any individual needs a portal, they should be someone who is very well known. I note that even Portal:Donald Trump has obvious problems from lack of maintenance and editor interest, so I remain unconvinced that any individual needs a portal. Legacypac (talk) 14:04, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I also remain unconvinced that any individual needs a portal, even this one. But I really do hope that you are not in any way trying to claim that such an extensively-quoted writer and widely-venerated writer as Tagore is not someone who is very well known. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 14:46, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 * User:Legacypac - I don't know him either, and I probably should. Do you know how well known he is in India?  Neither do I.  But I see that he should be very well known in many parts of the world.  I have seen many biographical portals for which I have voted for deletion and I didn't know them, and I avoided using WP:IDONTKNOWIT (even though I am known among some for the breadth of my knowledge).  Would you want an Indian nominating a Canadian on grounds of WP:IDONTKNOWIT?  Try using an argument that is either policy-based or at least not deprecated by policy.

 * My comment about not knowing him was not intended to be a reason to delete - just a fact. Legacypac (talk) 18:29, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 * That's a surprising description of a comment which reads no portals for individuals/bios especially people I've not heard of. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 12:46, 22 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete - Empty portal, 15 subpages, created 2017-08-08 05:15:21 by User:Arka.tukai. Another copy of the empty set: ONE article, ONE picture, and so on. Even policy DONTLIKE this kind of not useable navigation tool.  Portal:Rabindranath Tagore. Pldx1 (talk) 15:33, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Individual portals very seldom satisfy the required breadth, even for Nobel Prize winners. Heritage portal created by almost-inactive user and touched by the portal platoon.  Robert McClenon (talk) 18:24, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
