Portal:Silent film[edit]

(convenience link: subject article Silent film)

Delete Multi-page portal covering a subtopic that does not meet the breadth-of-subject-area requirement of the WP:POG guideline and is more than adequately covered by Portal:Film. UnitedStatesian (talk) 22:39, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Portal created in 2015, the old-fashioned way, but seems to have received limited attention and only seems to have had one Selected article, two Selected biographies & three images without captions. Currently appears to be broken and perhaps was never finished. The topic, however, is plenty broad enough and I don't think it's existence is precluded by Portal:Film, which has a huge breadth of articles and does not break out films by type (or in any other fashion).

Delete the failings of the portal already covering the topic are not a reason to keep a portal duplicating the early subset of the topic. Legacypac (talk) 05:20, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Old portal, 27 subpages, created 2015-09-28 19:19:50 by User:Batfan1966. A comment by a maintainer, if any, could make the day. Portal:Silent film. Pldx1 (talk) 15:33, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete based on this being a subset of another portal and too narrow a focus. Originator of this heritage portal is either inactive or semi-active. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:00, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
