The result of the discussion was Speedily keep, per consensus and being a stale portal is no reason for deletion. ~~Ebe123~~ → report ← Contribs 10:59, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
Stale portal, untouched since 2007 except for some minor edits. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:31, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Speedy keep nominator presumably forgot to mention that this is a Featured Portal. If you see something that's out of date, fix it yourself or leave a message on the portal talk page. If you think that it no longer matches the Featured Portal criteria, nominate it for review. If you don't like the criteria, start a discussion to get them changed. If you don't like the portal namespace (which some of your comments elsewhere on the MFD page suggest), then start a discussion to close the namespace down. But unless and until you can show that any problems with this portal can only be solved by deleting it, deletion is not the answer here. BencherliteTalk 19:49, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

KeepSpeedy keep - Disagreed, I have maintained this portal from the very beginning, and although it's true that I have never changed it, I've always made sure it is up-to-date. If there's something you'd like to see changed or added, just let me know or be bold and do it yourself. —IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu? 20:30, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Can you explain in more detail why you haven't worked on this since 2007? I am minded to say 'delete' but would like to understand your rationale before I decide. --Kleinzach 01:22, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- Have you checked all of the portal pages to come to that conclusion? The main page of the portal doesn't have to be changed for it to be maintained. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 05:16, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- As 日本穣 says. If this portal hasn't been worked on this since 2007, then how do you explain a thing like Portal:Constructed_languages/Language of the month/October 2011? Look at the history of these three pages and you'll be proven wrong: [1] [2] [3]. Let me add that these three pages are basically the only parts of the portal that require maintenance. —IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu? 08:07, 17 November 2011 (UTC) (changing my vote to "speedy keep", because this template looks horrible on a (featured) portal)
- Speedy keep - Wikipedia articles and portals don't need to be constantly updated to be valid and encyclopedic. If this were the case, then likely over half of the articles would be removed from Wikipedia. Northamerica1000(talk) 20:50, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Speedy keep - I agree with Northamerica1000. There is no rule that says portals must be edited often. Suggest TPH stop wasting everyone's time with these clearly meritless nominations. Reyk YO! 03:13, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep, agree with Reyk (talk · contribs) that these frivolous Miscellany for deletion pages being created by nominator appear to be a waste of the community's time. — Cirt (talk) 03:56, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- Speedy keep per all the reasons already given. No valid reasons have been given to support deletion. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 05:16, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
