Poor-quality automated portal on a marginal topic, based on a subset of a single navbox: {{ Commercial air travel}}.
Airport is only a Level 4 Vital article, i.e. in the 1,001–10,000 range of priority topics. Given the very poor shape of many higher-priority portals and the neglect of this portal since its creation in September 2018, there is no reason to expect an influx of editors to curate and maintain it.
This consists solely of a DYK section with one trivial item and a "selected articles" list which is built on an embedded list of only 15 pages:
These are the 15 items in Group6 of the navbox Template:Commercial air travel, which is transcluded in the head article airport. Though note that the list was copied so sloppily that two of the 15 items ( Boarding and Gate) need disambiguation.
Per WP:PORTAL, "Portals serve as enhanced "Main Pages" for specific broad subjects" ... but this is a significantly degraded version of main page for the topic.
Readers already vastly prefer the head article. In January–March 2019, the head article got 1,098 pageviews per day, but the portal got only 11 pageviews per day.
Readers will be much better served by us having no Airports portal. Just delete it. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 23:24, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
