Portal:Thought

 * – (View MfD)

Stillborn portal. The Selected cognitive function article is from June 2006. Portal:Thought/Selected biography was updated once in July 2013. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 06:36, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment - this portal has backlinks from Portal:Thinking. Please consider fixing these if portal is deleted. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 06:39, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete This Bonsai portal has been abandoned for over a decade, save for a few one-off updates by passing editors. The portal clearly fails WP:POG's requirement that portals should be about subjects broad enough to attract large numbers of maintainers and readers. This portal has had over a decade of no steady maintainers and it had a low 58 views |Portal:Thinking per day from January 1 to June 30 2019, which is a dramatic long-term decline from the 215 views |Portal:Thinking per day it had from July 1 to December 30 2015. Portals stand or fall on their merits in the now, not what could someday hypothetically happen with them, and this one falls flat. I oppose re-creation, as over a decade of hard evidence shows Thought is not a broad enough topic to attract readers and maintainers. Newshunter12 (talk) 21:34, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - Abandoned portal. Only three articles, only tweaking rather than maintenance since 2006.  Low readership.   There is no short-term reason to expect that a re-creation of this portal will address the problems.  Any proposed re-creation of this portal using a more modern design, and taking into account the failures of many portals, and including a maintenance plan (since lack of maintenance is a problem with most portals), can go to Deletion Review.
 * Note to closing admin. I don't want in any way to prejudge the outcome ... but if you close this discussion as delete, please can you not remove the backlinks?  I have an AWB setup which allows me to easily replace them with links to the next most specific portal(s) (in this case Portal:Pholosophy), without creating duplicate entries. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 00:15, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
