Portal:Greek alphabet[edit]

Particularly ugly specimen of the recently mass-created "automatic" portals. This one is especially bad in its "selected images" section, which (like all these autopseudoportals) just randomly draws from whatever images are used in the main article. The Greek alphabet article happens to use dozens of small, very simple inline SVG graphics representing historic letter shapes, and so the "selected images" now mostly displays those, in bizarre magnification and with no caption. Just goes to show that an automated process simply cannot select material that would fill a portal with useful and interesting content. Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:19, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is a particularly useless page. Johnuniq (talk) 09:11, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Wow. Portal creators should be forced to actually read and use their portal for five minutes before being allowed to create another page. There could be ways to make a semi-useful portal here (say, a nice way to click through the letter articles, probably in non-random order), but if somebody wants to do that, they should also get credit as "creator" of the portal. (In other words, no prejudice against creation of a better page in this place). —Kusma (t·c) 09:46, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete we already have a much better presentation of Greek alphabet right where the internet world goes looking for it - mainspace. This adds nothing to the topic and helps no one. Legacypac (talk) 16:52, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Some of the images aren't even current Greek letters because they are only historical symbols. This illustrates that, even if the content of the portal is interesting to a reader, the portal may not provide a service, which further illustrates that the need for and use of portals should be discussed before creating portals.

Delete. Adds nothing to the encyclopedia. — pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 01:08, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
