Portal:Serials

2009 portal classed as under construction since 2013. With this July 2018 edit [1] TTH replace the old static intro with translution of the first few words of a DAB page. Evidently they did not check their work or check how the page looked during the 9 subsequent edits (see history link) because it's been busted ever since. I just love these self maintaining portals! Anyway, since the person who adopted the abandoned page went off and made 3500 more junk pages, and since no one seems to care that the portal no longer has a clear topic since July 2018, why should we retain it?

Delete unless someone can explain what this portal is about, because it isn't obvious what this portal is about. Probably Delete even with an explanation. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:12, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Breakfast? I think movies and books and stuff that have sequels. Even with a fixed lede it is pretty unfocused and useless to the reader. Legacypac (talk) 04:30, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Seems to be about serial movies. Hasn't been edited since last year so not an active portal. Capitalistroadster (talk) 04:28, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Changed intro to Serial film, the likely topic. Just needs some work to update it.--Auric talk 11:19, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How does that not duplicate Portal:Film? Legacypac (talk) 18:11, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's a subportal, like Portal:Silent film.--Auric talk 21:51, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Old portal, 34 subpages, created 2009-01-22 12:41:49 by User:AdamBMorgan. A comment by a maintainer, if any, would be useful. Portal:Serials. Pldx1 (talk) 13:02, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete More than adequately covered by Portal:Film. UnitedStatesian (talk) 22:36, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Other than on the Subportals list, I see no mention of the topic there.--Auric talk 00:32, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
