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.
Not that inhabitants should have anything to do with pageviews, as those would rather look at the Portal located on deWiki. Nevertheless a redirection of Portal:East Frisia to either target is fine with me.Portal:Germany is not in scope here and is although in low volume still active with new article announcements and mainpage content (ITN/DYK) filtered to a Germany level as well as an active todo list.

Sorry, it is my fault that I haven't updated this as I've been working on other articles, but am happy to pick this up. After all the work to put it together, I'd be disappointed to see it deleted without a decent second chance.
BTW it's not quite fair to suggest it's moribund. One smart feature is that the articles and images of the month automatically change on a monthly cycle. So it does get refreshed, but more could be done.
To be honest most of the views above are to do with whether Wikipedia has portals at all; views which ought to be expressed at
WP:PORTAL before proposing portals for deletion. I fully support the rationale at
WP:PORTAL which, nowhere, suggests minimum requirements for them - perhaps it should. Portals are not articles; they are there to help readers quickly and easily find links on e.g. a region which may not be at the main article or at least aren't so clearly laid out. Portals also help project editors identify where the gaps are, where new articles are needed and so on. All of that seems reasonable. But this one needs a kick restart which I'm happy to facilitate.
