Portal:Canadian politics

[edit]

Five selected articles, five political parties, eight bios. Only updates or additions since 2009 were two bios c. 2011. Entry for Bloc Québécois thumbnail shows a party leader has left office twice since that entry was created. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 07:02, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the nom. This portal has been abandoned for over nine years (aside for a few one off updates many years ago) and was never completed, which is why it's sub-pages are littered with red links to never added materials. It clearly fails WP:POG's requirement that portals should be about subjects broad enough to attract large numbers of maintainers and readers. This portal has had nearly a decade of no steady maintainers and it had a very low 18 views per day in June and July 2019. Portals stand or fall on their merits in the now, not what could someday hypothetically happen with them, and this one falls flat. I am strongly against allowing recreation, as nearly a decade of hard evidence shows Canadian politics is not a broad enough topic to attract readers or maintainers.

Just so your aware the red links on sub pages are to help others add content not because it not complete ..this " insert article here" format was the norm back in the day.--Moxy 🍁 12:29, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nominator and per @Newshunter12.

This is yet another a long-abandoned mini-portal. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:49, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - As per Mark S and NH12. Mark S did not count 5 election articles, which makes 23 articles. However, no maintenance and too few readers. Another semi-abandoned portal. There is no short-term reason to expect that a re-creation of this portal will address the problems. Any proposed re-creation of this portal using a more modern design, and taking into account the failures of many portals, can go to Deletion Review.
