Portal:Mauritius[edit]

Six selected articles, four bios. Selected articles two and three and first two bios are unupdated entries from 2010. All others were created or updated in April 2012. Errors introduced by lack of maintenance:

Patrick Kisnorbo has not played for Leeds since 2013. He has retired from playing.

Anerood Jugnauth is not prez of Mauritius. He resigned in 2012. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 08:23, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator. A clearly abandoned mini-portal which never got near the minimum levels of content, and through neglect is now actively misleading readers.

WP:POG requires that portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers". This long-term absence of maintenance shows that this is very NOT likely to attract large numbers of maintainers. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:40, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the nom and BHG. This portal has been abandoned for over seven years and was never completed. It clearly fails WP:POG's requirement that portals should be about subjects broad enough to attract large numbers of maintainers and readers. This portal has had over seven years of no maintainers and it had an abysmal 15 views per day in June and July 2019 (despite the head article Mauritius having 7722 views per day in the same period). Portals stand or fall on their merits in the now, not what could someday hypothetically happen with them, and this one falls flat. I am strongly against allowing recreation, as over seven years of hard evidence shows Mauritius is not a broad enough topic to attract readers or maintainers.

Delete as per Mark S, BHG, and NH12. The use of forked subpages makes the lack of maintenance even more of a problem, but it is always a problem. Any re-creation can go to Deletion Review. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:12, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - This portal is not in much better health than a Mauritian bird, the dodo. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:18, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
