The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
There is no manual version to revert to. For over 13 years after its creation in 2005, the page was a redirect to
Portal:Agriculture and agronomy (which was renamed a few times along the way). Then in January 2019, @
The Transhumanist converted
[1] it to an automated portal.
Delete - TTH automated portal, built above an old portal, created 2005-10-24 18:39:00 by
User:Altenmann. This one is to be deleted, to give space to grow to the other one. Nevertheless, it should be noted that
Portal:Agriculture and agronomy was not maintained since 2011, and needs a full revision. Portal:Agriculture.

Delete, though I certainly hope that the Portal:Agriculture and Agronomy will be properly maintained (which seems a tad unlikely given that none of the portals have had any TLC for years). For the info of other editors who may be hesitating, I brought
Agriculture and
History of agriculture to GA and have no time for automated regurgita-portals which just chop pre-existing straw and lavishly blow it about the fields until somebody notices and switches them off.

Delete good topic for a portal, but it doesn't significantly expand on the main article, like other the navbox portals. Happy to see a manual portal constructed or resurrected here if someone is willing to maintain it. Hut 8.515:36, 27 April 2019 (UTC)reply
We're not saying there couldn't theoretically be a decent portal; we are saying that this particular one is quite useless and redundant, and hasn't been maintained for many years, nor does there appear to be anyone around now with the time and skill to do that job. I'm certainly not interested, and I brought the main articles on the topic to GA; and it was hard to find anyone to assist me with that one-off task, let alone the unending work of keeping a portal vaguely interesting and fresh. Read the other editors's comments above.

"Useless" is a matter of opinion; failure to maintain is not a reason to delete; and there is no deadline. Redundancy, however, IS a good reason. I'd prefer redirecting the Ag&Agron portal to this one and sorting out the content through editing, but Wagger's suggestion below is just as acceptable.--
