23 recently created Portals for neighborhoods in Portland. We do not need portals on every neighborhood for every medium size city in even the USA. Portal:Portland, Oregon and Portal:Oregon as well as Portal:Portland Timbers, Portal:Portland Trail Blazers and Portal:University of Portland for good measure. I have have not tagged every portal listed as it would flood the creator's talkpage. Legacypac (talk) 08:07, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion on Portland, Oregon neighborhoods Portals
[edit]
(ec) These are indiscriminately created with no thought put into what they should display. Creating these portals was irresponsible. We don't need portals that are so narrow a topic as to have individual houses as feature articles, or in one case a burned building as a feature photo. Since there is no guidelines that govern creation of automated portals, I don't need to cite any guideline for deletion - just that we don't need them.

In the absense of any approval or guideline for the mass creation of portals, "we don't need them" is as good a reason as any to seek deletion, but in this cases a number of very good reasons have been identified. Legacypac (talk) 04:09, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
How or how many portals were created is irrelevant. You need to show how the pages do not meet current portal standards, and these do.
Also, notice must be posted at the top of each page to be deleted, per Deletion policy. Something you are quite familiar with.    — The Transhumanist   10:38, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have tagged each page at your request. This creates many unneccessary deletion discussion pages. I will seek a relaxation of this requirement now. Legacypac (talk) 17:55, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Legacypac: That template was designed for deletion discussions with a one-to-one ratio to pages nominated for deletion. For multi-page nominations, you can use a copy-pasted notice that leads them all to the same MfD page, avoiding the creation of superfluous mfd pages that do nothing but point to the multi-mfd nomination page as soft redirects.    — The Transhumanist   20:26, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
So you want me to manually nominate for deletion your script created portals? Legacypac (talk) 20:34, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is fairly normal that the community's actual standards are decided at MFD, and then codified into a guideline later. We are not bound by the description at Wikipedia:Portal (which was mostly written by you). There is evidence of strong opposition against micro-portals on the talk page, so it should not come as a surprise that people want to delete these now. —Kusma (t·c) 10:56, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
