Portal:Rock music

This old portal is essentially duplicate scope to Portal:Rock and Roll also created long ago. Delete and create a redirect to Portal:Rock and Roll. Legacypac (talk) 18:34, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Need a rationale for why Portal:Rock and Roll is superior. If the two are just essentially to be merged there's no need to delete either first. Espresso Addict (talk) 03:51, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated the newer one for deletion. I have no preference for the presentation of either one. Legacypac (talk) 04:04, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Portal:Rock and Roll seems to have been a static selection before Transhumanist overwrote it, unless it used code I'm not familiar with, whereas Portal:Rock music had rotating content. Espresso Addict (talk) 05:41, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete without prejudice to also nominating the other one. Noting that this portal was created by a banned sockpuppet. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:56, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Old portal, 121 subpages, created 2008-06-24 08:32:51 by User:Linkins Parkl~enwiki. A comment by a maintainer, if any, could make the day. Portal:Rock music. Pldx1 (talk) 13:57, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for now. I would support an actual merge to either title, but randomly choosing one of a pair is not a valid reason to delete rather than do a considered merge. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:12, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete both - (and the other more than this one). Thus: procedural close, followed by a bundled MfD. Pldx1 (talk) 14:51, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – A broad concept topic that passes Wikipedia:Portal/Guidelines. Also expandable, with a decent amount of content already at Portal:Rock music/Selected articles and Portal:Rock music/Selected pictures. Also, this portal has rotating content, whereas Portal:Rock and Roll does not. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 02:58, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - This Mfd created the best days of this portal. Jumping from 20 views per day to 90 [wmflabs], whaow ! Perhaps, we should let this MfD run for ever, it would be a so rock and roll way to prove how expandable the portal was. Pldx1 (talk) 08:03, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep without prejudice to a merge with Portal:Rock and Roll in either direction (I don't have a preference) per BHG and others. Thryduulf (talk) 13:07, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
