Portal:Bede[edit]

Insufficient scope for a portal. Per WP:POG portals should be about broad topics. Category:Bede contains 14 articles, which isn't nearly enough. The portal has been bulked out with other articles including contemporaries of Bede and people Bede wrote about. Hut 8.5 18:57, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Too narrow a topic for a portal, though I've just added an article to the category. Espresso Addict (talk) 00:09, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete also fails the ability to bring in interested readers and editors. Legacypac (talk) 17:52, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Why do you say that? I don't see any difference in this regard from any other portal with a similar breadth? Thryduulf (talk) 20:05, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Many similar portals have the same issue. About a page view a day, including bots, confirms my assessment. Legacypac (talk) 21:08, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Yeah, this is too narrow. I considered recommending a merge, but there isn't a Portal:Anglo Saxons, Portal:English Historians, Portal:Northumbria or Portal:Early-English Christianity (or similar) that I've found to merge into (and if there were more than one of them I don't know which I'd pick as the target).

Delete – Yet another narrow-focus portal created recently when creating portals has been fun and too easy. No reason to think that this one is needed. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:45, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
