Portal:Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant

Portal:Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Unneeded as a portal and if a misplaced article submission, currently exists at the same name in article space. Safiel (talk) 04:47, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Oppose there ware many articles relating to the islamic state. Such as Jihadi John. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JhonsJoe (talk • contribs) 13:03, 25 October 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]

• Support. There is no need for a 'portal' right now. No justification yet. Coltsfan (talk) 20:02, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Oppose. A portal isn't necessary due to the low number of articles on the subject matter, but it is a well-designed page aiding general access to information about IS. It is a different, less detailed, way of providing similar information to that found in the article. I see no reason it should be deleted. Chessrat (talk) 21:04, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Oppose I see no justification to delete this portal Abdesk2008 (talk) 18:19, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment by nominator At the time I nominated this 4 days ago, the portal was essentially just a piece of crap. The portal had been tagged for speedy deletion, which I declined as inapplicable, but prompted me to start this MfD. However, it has been totally rewritten into something that resembles a portal. :) I withdraw my nomination. HOWEVER. Since there is an active and valid support vote and comment in place, I cannot close this speedily, otherwise I would do so. However, for the closing administrator, please accept this comment as a withdrawal of the nomination, however, I will not endorse keeping this portal. Thanks.
