History shows this was moved 9 years ago to get it out of reader facing space, but no one uses it. It gets about a page view per day which is background noise. Ugly broken layout. Very outdated selection. Creator is blocked. There must be easier ways to access this content. Legacypac (talk) 00:37, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - This non-portal portal essay was developed by a banned user and has no obvious purpose. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:49, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are problems, but deletion is not the answer, certainly not advocated solely by editors uninterested in its scope.  It belongs within WikiProject Wikipedia essays.  Even if doing nothing else, move to WikiProject Wikipedia essays/Wikipedia essays showcase and advise WT:WikiProject Wikipedia essays.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:36, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
