Portal:Smartphone


Abandoned portal no one has bothered to fix since Jan 2017. Lots of adding cats and messing around with busywork but the redlinks still remain. Only one selected article. Only one bio. Page will quickly go out of date as this topic evolves. The Wikiproject this is tagged to is stillborn. Further, the scope overlaps with Portal:Telephones. Great example that proves portals are not maintenance free as promised and one user can not maintain thousands of portals. Maybe this is a valid portal topic if work went into it but so far it's been touched by most of the portal editors but only the very first edit placed any content. As sat in Category:Portals under construction for years so it is not like no one knew it needed work. Instead of fixing the mess that lead to WP:ENDPORTALS the Wikiproject created thousands of automatic one click narrow scope portals. Legacypac (talk) 14:36, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a copy-and-paste keep vote due to the large number of nominations stating I have reviewed the portal and believe it passes WP:POG. SportingFlyer  T · C  18:41, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Obviously this editor did not read the nomination or review the page. Perhaps they are mass voting keep on some of the worst broken portals I've nominated because I just called them out at ANi for supporting a personal attack against me. Legacypac (talk) 18:50, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * You really need to assume good faith and stop attacking editors who disagree with you. There are a massive number of portals nominated for deletion. I've gone through and voted keep if they pass WP:POG. Deletion is not cleanup. SportingFlyer  T · C  19:07, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * You have been posting support for an Admin that attacked me in a most offensive way. Don't lecture me about personal attacks for you know not what you speak of. Your !vote shows you did not address the concerns. Portals require maintenance and this one was never even completed. Legacypac (talk) 21:28, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * If you would take the time to stop making things about yourself, I've !voted keep on a number of portals, !voted delete on a couple, and have done my best to learn how to fix other portals. My !vote has nothing to do with you. Please leave me alone. SportingFlyer  T · C  00:25, 3 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete - Not being maintained. Maintenance-free is a myth.  Unmaintained portals look bad to the outside world.  Robert McClenon (talk) 04:01, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Narrow topic that could be incorporated into other portals, for example Portal:Telecommunication.Guilherme Burn (talk) 12:17, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
