Fails 1(d) "well-maintained" and 1(a) "useful". Note that the Featured portal criteria say that portals that are not updated for three months are summarily delisted.
As relying on updates by portal maintainers, associated WikiProjects or passers-by clearly isn't working, the portal needs to be changed to one using random subpages, with a proper level of decent content for the article, biography and picture section. The DYK section needs to be expanded to use only hooks that have appeared on the main page through DYK, and lots of them, in random subpages. There is a working " biology news" section at Wikinews, so perhaps a news section ought to be added here. A lot of work is needed to bring this up to current standards.

I note that the selected article, picture and biography have been updated today by MisterDub ( talk · contribs); DYKs are still old. I don't know whether MisterDub intends to revamp the portal to move to random subpages, or to keep up with regular rotation of articles, so I will invite MisterDub to comment here.

User:MisterDub made updates in April 2011. The only component that was not updated is the DYK section (which is not a big deal). It appears that the majority of the concerns have been appropriately addressed. Closing this as keep. OhanaUnited Talk page 18:12, 27 April 2011 (UTC) reply
