- No reason for deletion here ...no policy or guideline says to delete page due to page views.--Moxy 🍁 23:11, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I concur with the analysis by the nominator. A portal should have a "good number" of articles, at least 20, and this portal does not come close. During the baseline measurement period of 1 January 2019 - 28 February 2019, the portal had an average of 26 daily pageviews, compared to 4336 daily pageviews for the lead article. A portal should serve as a miniature Main Page, and the Main Page is a labor-intensive effort, and there is no indication of labor being applied to this portal. The portal guidelines say that a portal should be about a broad subject area that will attract readers and portal maintainers. This portal has not been attracting readers or portal maintainers. Perhaps the lack of a portal maintainer contributes to the lack of readership. It should be deleted without prejudice to re-creation by a future editor under future guidelines.

- Delete per nomination. These regional portals are redundant to both the higher-level (e.g. Portal:Asia) and constituent country (e.g. Portal:Saudi Arabia) portals. UnitedStatesian (talk) 14:08, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
