Single TV show portal (and a couple related films) that fails WP:POG for lack of scope. Legacypac (talk) 18:18, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - This portal has a strange history. An earlier version of the portal was first userfied and then deleted. This version appears to have been created by a now-inactive user. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:07, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Insufficient scope for a standalone portal. Tazerdadog (talk) 22:14, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. This is a cult piece of television, with a huge influence on television not just in the States. I don't agree that the topic is too narrow for a portal; just take a look at the very long list of FAs, FLs & GAs at the bottom of the portal. The series ran for eleven seasons plus some films and nearly all episodes seem to have articles. There's also characters, actors and lots more material in the category tree. There is a Wikiproject though it seems semi-active. All that said, however, the current portal is underpopulated with only 9 articles, so I'm not sure how much of a loss it really is.

- Comment As someone who was really active in the X-Files project a few years ago, I can say that I never used this.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 15:12, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - Old portal, 37 subpages, created 2012-09-30 06:48:11 by User:Ecpiandy. There are 247 Great Articles about the X-Files. This portal only navigates among NINE of them. Not compliant with the Guidelines, to be deleted. Without prejudice to a maintainer falling from the stars. Portal:The X-Files. Pldx1 (talk) 15:38, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - This is a zombie portal. No wonder the portal platoon didn't fix it. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:21, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
