14 page scope, no category. I thought this was about Grand Forks, British Columbia home of the best Doukhobors food around but it's about another Grand Forks. Auto created because there is a nav box Legacypac (talk) 00:05, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - There are only two cities of Grand Forks, but we still don't need recklessly created portals about medium-sized cities. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:33, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. I don't feel too strongly about this, but I'll register as a "Keep" !vote. I happen to have created more than 50 articles about historic sites in Grand Forks (North Dakota) (most linked from National Register of Historic Places listings in Grand Forks County, North Dakota), and maybe a couple about architects and builders active there (yep, including Joseph Bell DeRemer). Some categorized by Category:Houses in Grand Forks, North Dakota or Category:National Register of Historic Places in Grand Forks, North Dakota. It's home of University of North Dakota. When I started working on those articles, I was hoping some university students might get interested in taking photos and otherwise adding to the articles, and developing more about their city. Like i wanted there to be a portal. :)
- Note the nomination states "14 page scope" which appears grossly wrong for what the scope of the portal is or can be or should be. --Doncram (talk) 01:29, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
- You are focused on content which is perfect. You know that quality content takes attention to detail. An automated portal that took 12 seconds to make with a script and that got 12 page views in the last 30 days (including us looking at it) is not the answer to share your great city with the world. The 14 pages was based on subtopics I can see on the portal. Generally portals on cities of this size have been deleted and they generally lack the breath and depth of material to justify the topic as a portal. Hope that helps.

- Delete - While it makes sense that Doncram would like a portal on this topic, the portal right now is just another TTH navbox generation portal - which is nothing more than a fancy navbox, and of which so far it looks like the community is generating a consensus that such portals are spam and thus should be removed.

- Delete, insufficient scope to meet the goal of a good portal: presenting as an alternate "Main Page" for broad topics. (On a side note, Doukhobors food sounds interesting - Russian Christian anarchist vegetarians? I might have to wander out to the BC Grand Forks sometime.) ♠PMC♠ (talk) 15:49, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
- Best eaten in the kitchen of a babushka :) As a side note, these people are the less obvious reason we can't run around naked in Canada. Legacypac (talk) 17:59, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
- Holy shit, I had no idea. That's incredible. "Nudism and arson were the highly visible methods of protest used by the Sons of Freedom." These people sound amazing. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 19:43, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
- I thought the laws of physics are sufficient reason not to run around naked in (most of) Canada. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 11:10, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

- Delete - An automated portal, created 2018-08-23T01:05:09Z, only worth of an automated deletion: Portal:Grand Forks. Pldx1 (talk) 17:21, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
