Portal:Water sports


Old rebooted portal. The preautomated version was very outdated and the automated version retains elements like news from 2008 and various other years, suggesting even the old version indiscriminately included outdated info like a story about three cities submitting bids for the 2020 Olympics.

Another fatal flaw is the head article is a list. We don't need a portal for a list. The facing page saw no effort since 2013 except for minor cat changes until the portal reboot started automating it. Evidently there is a lack of interested editors for maintaining this topic.

 * Comment. No opinion on this portal, as I have already run out of time to review this flood of nominations, but I don't see why a list as the root article should be a fatal flaw for a portal. If anything, it suggests a portal could form a useful addition to the encyclopedia's coverage. Espresso Addict (talk) 20:44, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment  - Old portal, 18 subpages, created 2007-11-22 05:02:40 by User:Pumpmeup. A comment by a maintainer, if any, could make the day. Portal:Water sports. Pldx1 (talk) 20:50, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - I respectfully disagree with User:Legacypac that a list as a head article is a defect, but this portal appears to be abandoned except by the portal platoon and has other issues. Creator is inactive, et cetera.  Robert McClenon (talk) 00:27, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
