Portal:British Overseas Territories[edit]

Unfinished portal sitting unpopulated for years Moxy (talk) 07:44, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete most portals are useless and should be rolled up. So 15 years ago. Legacypac (talk) 07:48, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to British Overseas Territories, per arguments at Wikipedia_talk:Portal#Portals_are_moribund. Keep the history available behind the redirect for any of many possible though unlikely future uses. Redirect to send anyone interested in the topic to the page requiring attention. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:41, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per SmokeyJoe in this case. Agathoclea (talk) 15:02, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect sounds ok, but please mostly orphan it as well (Template:WikiProject British Overseas Territories plus some mainspace uses). —Kusma (t·c) 20:17, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Portals are not inherently bad, but this one is. In the light of Wikipedia:Portal guidelines: it severely lacks content (it even lacks one required item, namely the Topics list), it isn't maintained to keep it fresh and relevant, and includes nothing in the way of encouraging reader–editor participation.

No redirect, because when people click on a portal link, they want to see a portal, MOS:EGG. Let's not pretend that WP:DEL#Access to deleted pages is an issue either when its not: edit histories of deleted pages are kept and anyone can ask for a copy if need arises (which, some note in this discussion, is unlikely in the first place). – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 15:13, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
