Portal:Crawley (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Automated pseudo-portal built off a single navbox, {{Crawley}}. Formerly a perma-broken manual portal.

Created July 2017‎ as a manual portal. By the time of the last edit[1] to the manual version in August 2018 it was still categorised as under construction, and had 4 broken sections. It was then converted[2] by @The Transhumanist to the automated format, drawing its pagelist solely from Template:Crawley.

So the portal is now a WP:REDUNDANTFORK of Template:Crawley, and there is no good version to restore. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:37, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete just over 100K so unlikely to have enough scope of coverage to warrant a portal. I'd like to see a minimum population of 1 million to ensure there is enough content the article on the city will not do a better job of navigating the material.

Not sure there's any direct relationship between population and wiki-coverage; as you point out, our coverage of some very well-populated Indian areas/cities is thin, and at least the denizens of Crawley speak English and are likely to have access to the internet.

• Delete - Old portal, 16 subpages, created 2017-07-12 00:11:10 by User:Williamtom2. 3 articles + 2 pictures ! Not sufficiently large topic per guideline. Portal:Crawley. Pldx1 (talk) 07:37, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - The creator of this portal appears to have arrived in Wikipedia, created the portal, and departed. The robotic version is not a substitute for the maintenance that there isn't. As BHG and LP say. Robert McClenon (talk) 12:25, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete single navbox portal. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 13:46, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Seems to have been started by a single-purpose account who then abandoned it unfinished with only 3 selected articles & 2 pictures. Crawley is a GA with only the usual problem that the notable people section has flourished without sourcing, but as a fairly undistinguished town with only a moderate coverage here, it probably falls below my personal threshold of "broad". There's no specific wikiproject or taskforce and it doesn't seem to have been a portal supported by WikiProject Sussex; it's not even linked from either Portal:Sussex or Portal:West Sussex. Willing to withdraw if someone from the project wants to take it on. Espresso Addict (talk) 04:53, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or Redirect to Portal: West Sussex - insufficient scope on its own. WaggersTALK 10:55, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
