Portal:DC Universe

Delete ~~Single page unmaintained auto~~ portals that cover company products; do not meet the breadth-of-subject-area requirement of the WP:POG guideline, and adequately covered by Portal:Comics. UnitedStatesian (talk) 04:36, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete same as all the other company/franchise portals. Legacypac (talk) 04:41, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not Delete If Marvel universe can exist as a portal DC should too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Marvel_Cinematic_Universe . I agree we have to expand as it currently does not cover everything on wikipedia about marvel Siddharthmukund (talk) 06:24, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Marvel too. We are an equal opportunity MfD Legacypac (talk) 10:52, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete both per WP:POG's guidance that portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers".

Portal:Comics is a "broad subject area", but the output of a specific publisher is not. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)

Comment. I note Portal:Marvel Cinematic Universe has been bundled post hoc, which was created in 2014 based on hand-curated content. Espresso Addict (talk) 00:29, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, less than 3 hours post hoc; still working on my bundling skills (for which Twinkle is of very little help). Regardless of how it started, the WP:WikiProject Portals team determined a single-pager was far superior. UnitedStatesian (talk) 00:46, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but one is a one-click wonder, the other has some history that might be worth restoring, and certainly should be considered by those commenting. Despite the similar topics, they are not identical cases, and this is unclear from your nomination statement. Espresso Addict (talk) 01:02, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've struck the wording that distracts from the breadth-of-subject area reason for the nom. UnitedStatesian (talk)

Delete both. As noted, very different cases except as to subject matter. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:21, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment to User:UnitedStatesian - Yes, Twinkle doesn't help with bundles. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:21, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Automated portal, 0 subpages, created 2019-01-26 07:11:42 by User:Siddharthmukund, to be deleted: Portal:DC Universe. Pldx1 (talk) 11:27, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Old portal, 46 subpages, created 2014-07-29 04:44:45 by User:Favre1fan93. A comment by a maintainer, if any, could make the day. Nevertheless, {{Portal maintenance status |date=November 2018 |subpages=none |broken= |note= }} gives the impression of an portal that was abandoned circa 2016-2017 before its conversion to automated.

Delete both The first is little more than spam. The second was abandoned for two years. I see no reason to keep them. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 06:33, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
