Portal:Kirby[edit]

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

Bare bones portal on a video game series. Not WP:X3 as a different creator. Legacypac (talk) 06:34, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Too narrow portal. jni^{(talk)(delete)} 09:37, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - A single video game and the unreal world created around it do not require a portal. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:17, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep – Meets WP:POG and i am not conivnce it need to be deleted.-- Happypillsjr ✉ 07:27, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Happypillsjr you need to stop creating portals. The community RFC also applies to your many automated portal starts. Legacypac (talk) 04:03, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep – Just meets WP:POG, although some may consider the topic range to be too niche. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 07:44, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Nobody in WP:VG uses or maintains portals. TarkusAB^talk 09:23, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment – How can you be certain that none of the WikiProject Video games members have ever used portals? Members of the project are denoted by placing {{User WPVG}} or Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Advert on one of their user pages. For example, regarding the {{User WPVG}} template alone, there are over 1,700 users that are a member of the project:

• List of first 500 users • Next 500 • Next 500 • Last in list.

It seems unlikely that all of these users have never used a portal before. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 09:49, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I should be more clear. I don't know if any VG member has ever used portals. Rather, I am saying that as a very active Project VG member, I have never seen VG portals discussed or edited by other members of the project. If you look that the histories of the VG Portal, Nintendo Portal, PlayStation portal, Sega Portal, and Xbox portal, you will see that they were virtually unmaintained for years, and the only recent edits have been WP:Portal project editors. I feel that no one at the project cares for these, would rather see them go, and (personally) I would prefer that editors stop mass-imposing this system across the website when many already voiced their aversion to it.

• Delete. Way too narrow. A Nintendo Portal makes way more sense. Way more history, way more broad. Harizotoh9 (talk) 00:39, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Portalis deletus. I agree with the others. Put in a critic's language, Portal:Kirby tries so hard to imitate a Wikipedia portal that it takes every one of the very few Kirby concepts within the encyclopedia and carelessly jots them all down. The pencil-sized "portal" ends up leaving us the readers bored and slightly annoyed by the confusion caused by its disorganization in that there are more links to somewhere other than a Kirby article than it likes to boast, and it ends up being a distasteful waste of code and impostor.
