Portal:Wikiatlas[edit]

It's not a portal and cannot be one. It is untenable as a normal topic portal because the topic – Atlases on Wikimedia Commons – is not notable and so there is absolutely no articles to link to. As an exceptional meta portal like Portal:Contents it's also pointless because Commons Atlases have nothing to do with Wikipedia and are already adequately explained where they should be: c:Atlas. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 16:08, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This sounds like a thread for Wikipedia_talk:WPPORT, not MfD. No deletion rationale vs archiving or redirection to a broader portal. MfD is not a forum for Portal management, try WPPORT. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:54, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Move to the projectspace. Likely inappropriate for the mainspace, but has some project interlinking potential. — Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 06:44, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – @Finnusertop, SmokeyJoe, and Godsy: This is not a portal, but an attempt to create a wiki within Wikipedia, and therefore violates WP:NOTWEBHOST. This page is a list of external links to atlases on Wikimedia Commons, and therefore also violates WP:NOTDIR. It is essentially a Wikimedia Commons page redundant to Commons:Atlas, and a link to that page, wherever needed, would be superior to a link to this page. Please delete. Thank you. — The Transhumanist 17:09, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete there are far too many portals and this one is broken. Legacypac (talk) 18:43, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Many more subjects could benefit from a portal. But, this is not a broken portal. It isn't a portal at all. — The Transhumanist 05:31, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not a useful page for organizing Wikipedia content. UnitedStatesian (talk) 03:39, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
