Portal:Bananas[edit]

Portal built for the narrow WP:POG failing topic bananas off Template:Bananas and plantains. This topic is explored just as easily and more comprehensively from the banana article and any article containing the template. Legacypac (talk) 16:58, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Yet another portal platoon portal created in order to create portals. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:24, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This Portal:Bananas can be saved I suggest that someone add the other banana template to this portal. Template:Banana cultivars, will greatly help this portal.Catfurball (talk) 20:33, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A WP:REDUNDANTFORK of Template:Bananas and plantains and the head article bananas.

@Catfurball's suggestion wouldn't make this pseudo-portal any more worth keeping, because Template:Banana cultivars is already transcluded in bananas. So the portal would remain a WP:REDUNDANTFORK of the head article.

Like most automated portals, this is a solution in search of a problem, so it gets only 10 views per day, compared with 3,938 pageviews per day for the head article. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:28, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I have read the above Keep request and am not changing my !vote (and BHG knows that I will change my !vote based on reason). Robert McClenon (talk) 02:29, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I partly agree and partly disagree with User:BrownHairedGirl. Automated portals are a non-solution in search of a problem. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:31, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Excellent, @Robert McClenon. It's as if Sartre and Beckett had spotted the existential crisis at the heart of the portals debate --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:40, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - On the one hand bananas may be the world's most important fruit crop (production outstrips even apples) so it makes sense for there to be a banana portal if there are apple, date and olive portals. On the other hand, I look at the portal and don't see then point - the meat is in the navbar. Lavateraguy (talk) 20:49, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Lavateraguy, sadly that's a v common situation with portals. They repeatedly fail to add any value, which is why so many of them are have been deleted at MFD. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:18, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Automated portal, 0 subpages, created 2018-10-26 23:02:44 by User:AmericanAir88, useless navigation tool, redundant to the existing articles and navboxes, and of lower quality: Portal:Bananas. Pldx1 (talk) 15:58, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
