Portal:Unix


Abandoned mini-portal. Created in 2015, subpages added in 2016 by User:H.dryad, who last edited later in 2016.

Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Unix shows 5 selected articles and 5 selected biogs and one DYK page, all untouched since their creation in 2016. This is just a slim set of abandoned content forks.

WP:POG requires that portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers". This one has not attracted either maintainers or readers: in May & June 2016, the portal got only 10 views per day, compared with 1,884 for the head article.

 * DELETE It's like those portals that were batch nominated and dleted, I think even Portal:Linux should be deleted. Editor-1 (talk) 04:02, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Redundant low quality fork of Unix. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:55, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete as per analysis by BHG. Recent experience has shown that technical information technology topics, such as programming languages and operating systems, do not attract either readers or portal maintainers.  Such topics may not have the general interest to attract non-technical readers, and technical readers have more formal training resources.  The usual period for review of pageviews has been 1 January 2019 to 28 February 2019, whi8ch is even worse than the metrics shown by BHG, because there were an average of 2 daily pageviews for the portal, as opposed to 2121 pageviews for the head article.  It is not likely that a better design will do better.  Robert McClenon (talk) 14:36, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
