Most sections of the portal do not appear to have been updated since 2011. Selected article and Selected picture are red links. There is only one image visible (under DYK). The New pages box is empty, except for a link to a bot-created list that has not updated since March 2011. News is automatically generated from WikiNews, but only the first item is reasonably current (December 2012). One of the categories is a red link. The lack of content in the Selected article and Selected picture boxes means that the columns do not balance. I left informal notifications at several related WikiProjects earlier in January, but have received no response.
I believe the portal thus fails under criteria 1b (aesthetically pleasing, no formatting issues, no red links), 1c (ergonomic), 1d (well-maintained), and 3 (images where appropriate). Espresso Addict ( talk) 17:28, 29 January 2013 (UTC) reply

Closed as delist: "Featured portals that require maintenance and are not updated for three or more months are summarily demoted" and we have many more than three months of redlinked sections here. Bencherlite Talk 12:54, 3 May 2013 (UTC) reply
