Portal:Tamil civilization


This portal is a substantial duplicate of Portal:Tamil People. In fact, its only selected article is Tamil people, which is the main article for the other portal. Additionally, the title implies that it focuses on Tamil civilization, but it doesn't seem to focus on that, just the people. I also don't think there would be much room for refocusing on the civilization specifically. Because of this duplication, the portal should be deleted or redirected.

Withdrawn. While I'm still slightly concerned about the amount of content that the portal can cover, the portal has been changed to not duplicate Portal:Tamil People. Greatedits1 (I hope so &#124; If not, let me know) 01:42, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete and remove all in bound links. Should have been deleted 3 years ago as an abandoned experiment. Legacypac (talk) 15:09, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Portal:Tamil People per nominator. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 17:57, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Consensus is against wholesale deletion of Portals.  Portal management is to be done on the talk page or at WT:Portal.  There is no case for deletion, at worst it will be archived or redirected.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:07, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep – portal has been rebuilt from scratch, with plenty of content.  &mdash; The Transhumanist   01:31, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Request withdrawal –, please withdraw your nomination, as the portal has been rebuilt from scratch and is now about the Tamil Civilization, about which Wikipedia has many articles. All the portal needs now is pictures (nice, but optional). Keep in mind, that with the current tools of the WikiProject Portals, you can build a portal from scratch using box portal skeleton in less than an hour (it's mostly just adding article names, as the templates do the rest - very easy). It is preferable to build these portals, rather than MfD them, so that future editors don't have to bother with deletion review to get permission to build the portals when the time comes. Thank you.
