Dallas - Fort Worth Metro Area Portals
- Portal:Arlington, Texas ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Portal:Garland, Texas ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) for exactly the same reasons
Mass created TTH portal a minute job that duplicates scope with Portal:Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex where Arlington is listed as one of the three main cities in the infobox. The silliness of auto harvesting topics leads to assorted high schools and a shopping mall as feature articles. This informative gem of a feature article excerpt "The following is a timeline of the history of the city of Arlington, Texas, USA. " (and nothing more) which tells you nothing that a Timeline of Arlington, Texas link does not tell you. Legacypac ( talk) 16:42, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. An automated portal only worth of an automated deletion. Pldx1 ( talk) 18:27, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- I've bundled Garland which is within Dallas County so clearly within the Metroplex portal scope as well. Legacypac ( talk) 20:00, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete As per nom—We already have a portal for these cities. – eggofreason( talk · contribs) 01:07, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete As a Texan, and resident of the DFW area, I demand satisfaction Legacypac. Wet Trouts at midnight! /sarcasamoff If there was some curated content (or thoughts about how to create the portal) I could see Arlington as a potential sub-portal of DFW (Texas Rangers, Dallas Cowboys, Six Flags over Texas, Wet 'n Wild/Hurricane Harbor, University of Texas - Arlington, etc), so I recommend a Soft Delete for that (no objections to a thought out/planned portal in the future) Hasteur ( talk) 13:48, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - Ambiguity also applies to Arlington. I know where Arlington is. So does a Texan. The fact that we know different answers proves that neither is obvious (and it looks as if there are 26 towns with that name). Seriously, we don't need these portals.
