Delete or archive. Nearly all Portals should be archived. They are a relic of the rapid growth phase of Wikipedia and are no longer sustained. --

SmokeyJoe: I have no objection to archiving, but I wonder if its worthwhile when there is is little content here? There are other bigger portals which are no longer maintained, and they do have substantial content which would be worth archiving. But I don't think this one ever got beyond the skeleton phase of construction. --

Redirect to
Besançon is another viable alternative. Redirect would be nicer to offsite links, including Wikipedia forks and downstream uses that may lead to a downstream user backtracking to this page. That backtracking downstream user would be best served by going to the mainspace article, from which they could, in the extremely unlikely chance that they wanted to, examine the redirect history to see the trivial history. NB. I am not opposing deletion. --
