Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Stargate


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. 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 Move - anyone can do this ✅. The pages should also be marked historical, I'll mark the main page for now. ✅ but the subpages still need to be tagged. Normally historical would be the result for Portal that has sufficient articles within scope but for which no one is interested in maintaining, but the consensus is pretty clearly to move this one. Should the portal ever become necessary in the future, consensus at the Project should be sufficient to relaunch. Doug.(talk • contribs) 22:23, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Portal:Stargate
I am not really familiar with MfD, but I've seen fiction Portals MfDed before and nominate Portal:Stargate for deletion because it makes sense to me and because my note at WT:STARGATE from a week ago didn't get any comment to keep this portal around. My reasons for deletion are that this portal is unmaintained and hence completely out-of date (nearly two years behind), two regular wikipedians from WP:STARGATE (I and pd THOR) didn't even know it existed for long times; this portal has to my knowledge only even been linked from a handful of Stargate articles (there used to be over 500 SG articles at one point), although it is admittedly linked from each Stargateproject talkpage banner now; and it reproduces content that is already present in the article Stargate (where any reader is directed when he types "Stargate" into the search box). Included in this nom are the transcluded portal subpages

 * Move - I'd remove the mention from the talkheader, and then move all the pages into some subspace at WP:STARGATE for ease of resurrection at a later date. // roux   editor review 15:57, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Move - I'd support Roux's mass move, linking only to its new location on WT:STARGATE. It has a lot of information and framework still useful to the project for a resurrection/update of the portal at a later time. TransUtopian (talk) 17:07, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Roux's Move - A once-useful Portal w/ foundation for a future (and IMO likely) resurrection. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 18:49, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - (how predictable :P) - I see no use to the portal at all, Stargate does its job twice as well. Delete it, or if you must then archive it on the wikiproject *yawn*. --Aquillyne-- (talk) 20:01, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Roux's move. Its layout is much more compact than Stargate, yet it conveys a quality and detailed overview for both the reader and editor. It looks great, is easy to navigate, and much is still applicable. Its news and redlinks could be easily updated, and I love the Did you know? section. Gotyear (talk) 13:18, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
