Portal:Niger[edit]

Stillborn portal. Only six selected articles and two bios that haven't been updated since 2010. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 18:12, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the nom. This junk micro-portal has been abandoned for over nine years after being dumped immediately after it was created. 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 nine years of no maintainers and it had an abysmal 12 views per day in June and July 2019 (despite the head article Niger having 2380 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 nearly a decade of hard evidence shows Niger is not a broad enough topic to attract readers or maintainers.

Delete as per Mark S and NH12. Another incomplete abandoned portal. Any re-creation should only be via Deletion Review.Robert McClenon (talk) 00:46, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator and per @Newshunter12. This is yet another a long-abandoned portal.

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 has attracted only trivially small numbers of readers, and no maintainers.

I also oppose recreation. The evidence of the last decade is that editors don't want to maintain this one, let alone build it up to the POG minimum of 20 articles. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:26, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
