Micro-portal abandoned since 2010. Just a static display of outdated content forks of the leads of 4 articles.
Created [1]] in 2010 by Moxy ( talk · contribs), who also created the sub-pages.
There is no selection of topics, and the list of sub-pages at Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Country music just shows a static set of pages:
Per WP:PORTAL, "Portals serve as enhanced 'Main Pages' for specific broad subjects". But this is massively less useful in every respect than the head article Country music.
WP:POG#How_often_to_update? says that unless automated, the content selection should be updated monthly, or preferably weekly. Even on a monthly cycle, this pseudo-portal has missed over 100 consecutive updates, and it is time to stop wasting the time of readers by luring them to this abandoned draft.
Yes, this is theory a broad topic. Wikipedia has extensive coverage of the artists, genres, albums, songs and awards. But WP:POG guides that portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers", and this has not attracted maintainers. The creator @ Moxy is not maintaining it [5].
So I propose that this portal and its sub-pages be deleted per WP:TNT, without prejudice to recreating a curated portal in accordance with whatever criteria the community may have agreed at that time. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 15:50, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
