Portal:Wikimedia ZA


This breaks the rule at WP:PORTAL that "Portals shall be created for encyclopedic topics only and not for article maintenance categories.". The list at User:John_of_Reading/List_of_portals shows that this is the only portal (if indeed it is a portal) like this. This is not categorized as a portal. There are no significant inlinks to the page. DexDor (talk) 21:09, 22 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - It definitely isn't a portal in the sense used for Wikipedia portals. It was created as a place for discussion for South African Wikipedians.  One might entertain moving this to the WP name space, but it appears that this page for discussion has garnered no real activity.  The only post is a mysterious comment about a template.  -- Whpq (talk) 23:13, 22 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Indifferent - As the page's creator I am indifferent as to wheather or not it is deleted. If it does violate WP:PORTAL then I am all for it.  I might create a better suited page elsewhere for it some time in the future. Thanks for notifying me of the deletion nomination. --Discott (talk) 08:07, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Could you explain why such page is even needed? The edit-a-thons have their own pages where questions and discussions can be had.  For general questions that South African (or any editors) have Help desk.  If there is something about a South African specific topic they wish to discuss, there is WikiProject South Africa.  From the time this portal was created in July 2014, theee has been exactly one edit to the talk page.  That would indicate that there is no real need for such a portal page. -- Whpq (talk) 01:11, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. Time to clean up. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 13:02, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete The portal namespace is certainly not for such things. SD0001 (talk) 18:46, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
