Portal:New France

[edit]

Old portal I no longer maintained (i was the only one that really ever did anything with it) and with the fact most portals are not seen by the majority of readers (60 percent drop in views since 2012) really only need the main country portal.....that is being fixed for mobile views.

Delete. Unmaintained portals fail WP:POG, and are a nuisance to readers. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:29, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the nom and the analysis done by Robert McClenon+BrownHairedGirl. This junk portal has been abandoned for almost nine years. It clearly fails WP:POG's requirement that portals should be about subjects broad enough to attract large numbers of maintainers and readers. Portals stand or fall on their merits in the now, not what could someday hypothetically happen with them, and this one falls flat. I oppose re-creation, as nearly a decade of hard evidence shows New France is not a broad enough topic to attract readers or maintainers. Newshunter12 (talk) 05:43, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Note to closing admin. If you close this as delete, please can you not remove the backlinks? I have an AWB setup which allows me to easily replace them with links to the next most specific portal(s) (in this case Portal:North America), without creating duplicate entries. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:38, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
