Portal:Trilobites

 * – (View MfD)

Another non-portal.

Not a portal, just a portal shell with a picture. Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Trilobites shows 9 selected pics in all, plus one DYK page with 3 entries.

This is one of a large number of paleontology-related portals created by. This one was built in 2015, and then apparently abandoned.

Maybe there could be a portal on Trilobites, but this is not it..

Per WP:PORTAL, "Portals serve as enhanced 'Main Pages' for specific broad subjects". Sadly, this one does not enhance.

Abyssal has created some portals which are well-developed (see User:Abyssal/Abyssal portal/Portals started). Others less so: see the current MFD:Portal:Ammonoids, MFD:Portal:Pseudosuchians, MFD:Portal:Trace fossils, and the closed MFD:Portal:Prehistory of Oceania and MFD:Portal:Prehistory of North America.

 * Delete or userify, as has shown interest in that before. This was abandoned unfinished and correctly categorised as incomplete, which should have kept it out of the categories in the de facto portal draft space. Then  removed the under construction category in January 2016‎ and no-one else touched it until The Transhumanist came along. The Abyssal version had 9 images and one DYK set, and was far from meeting guidelines. Espresso Addict (talk) 08:01, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete this non-portal portal. When BHG refers to a portal shell, is that a trilobite shell?  Robert McClenon (talk) 17:44, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
