Band Portals from update 29

previously deleted at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:AKB48

Single band portals. Created in 10 seconds. [1] and create log at [2] These add no value to the topics. Legacypac (talk) 04:51, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - more unnecessary and not at all useful mass created portals. Meszzy² (talk) 06:53, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. An automated portal, created 2019-02-11T06:49:21Z, only worth of an automated deletion. Pldx1 (talk) 14:12, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not really needed or valuable.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:52, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all. Yet more portalspam. Every single one of them is based on a single navbox, which makes them a redundant content fork of the navbox and the head article.

The topics are all to narrow. WP:POG requires that portals be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers", but only two of these bands (Fall Out Boy and AKB48) is even in level 5 vital articles, i.e. the top 50,000 topics. In other words, even those two should come into consideration only we are wiling to create over 10,000 portals ... and there clearly is a consensus to go nowhere near that number.

The pageview stats for Jan–Mar 2019 are also abysmal:

Portal:AKB48: median 5/day
Portal:Australian Crawl: median 1/day
Portal:XTC:median 2/day
Portal:The Living End: median <1/day
Portal:Fall Out Boy: median ~2.5/day

As usual, readers simply don't want or need these portals. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:05, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
