Portal:Furry

This portal is moribund, and many of the sections, such as Conventions and In the news, have no or nearly no links to WP content. There is a Wikiproject, which should suffice for fans to coordinate the articles, but i dont see this portal doing anything but helping fans find web resources. thats not our purpose here.

Keep. I am not interested in the topic, but currently the WikiProject is tagged on 88 articles, which should be (just) enough content for a potentially higher-quality portal. SST flyer 13:04, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (but update). Portals are "intended to serve as "Main Pages" for specific topics or areas". They're not for article development, but to serve Wikimedia's mission and vision by drawing readers into learning about a topic. Summarizing articles hosted on specialist wikis can be beneficial for this purpose, especially where it discourages serial article creation on Wikipedia for sub-topics which may not themselves be notable. It's true that some of the portal's content is dated - and that is a problem. But it can be fixed… and those "web resources" can help. GreenReaper (talk) 18:13, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
