The result of the discussion was: move to Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany/Portal:Schleswig-Holstein. (non-admin closure) Charlotte (Queen of Hearts • talk) 22:30, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Consensus was reached at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Schleswig-Holstein (2nd nomination) to move this to Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany/Portal:Schleswig-Holstein, but was moved back by its creator in 2022 after zero substantive changes were made to the portal. If this was 2022, I would revert this unilateral move against the MFD consensus. But this is almost two years later and WP:SILENCE is consensus, so I am back at MFD seeking consensus for deletion from portalspace for the same reasons – primarily because This subject is arguably not broad enough to exist as a standard portal
. No objection to projectspace-fying, if the WikiProject wishes to keep it around. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 04:33, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- To make this easier on a closer, I support moving to projectspace. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:21, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to project space per previous discussion. —DIYeditor (talk) 02:43, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to project space as before DimensionalFusion (talk) 11:52, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep - There is no need for this so-called portal and no need to delete this so-called portal. This portal is a large menu. There is none of the usual portal code behind the façade. What is behind the façade is a listing of more than 120 article titles, at which I stopped counting them and did not have a convenient tool to automate the counting. This menu is almost completely unused. In the year 2023, it had an average of 1 daily pageview, while the lead article had an average of 959 daily pageviews. But the user who went to the portal got to look over a list of articles and view the ones that they wanted. I am generally skeptical of portals. This looks like a portal, but it is a menu, and menus are useful for navigation. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:35, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: as a well-known portalista I'm generally inclined to keep the portals which are left as examples of type (like old ships kept in "mothballs"). This is a portal of a very odd style; like User:Robert McClenon, I find this unusual construction compelling as a menu. I'm also interested in the intact digital artifact. Because of the coding, many older-style portals fall apart when moved from portalspace, but this one should move to project space fine. FYI, while pagecreator User:Bermicourt self-reported as retired in January, they've edited as recently as two months ago. BusterD (talk) 14:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- It isn't odd, it's German. This is how they make them over at dewiki. Essentially they are outlines with some added visual structure. —Alalch E. 16:30, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Move back to WikiProject Germany/Portal:Schleswig-Holstein, as per part of the outcome from the previous MfD discussion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Schleswig-Holstein (2nd nomination). North America1000 00:11, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Move back to project space per nom, previous MFD, and other supporters. Not a viable portal topic. SnowFire (talk) 02:45, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
