Portal:Guernsey

Portal:Guernsey ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Single navbox automatically created portal, not sure why it was missed in the recent sweep but I suspect it's because it was created by overwriting a redirect. The scope isn't vast (Guernsey has a population of 63,026) and there is a large degree of overlap with Portal:Channel Islands, as Guernsey is one of the two main islands of the Channel Islands.

  • Delete. This is pure portalspam, a WP:REDUNDANTFORK of the navbox {{ Guernsey topics}} and the head article Guernsey. (For a full explanation of why this type of portal is redundant, see the two mass deletions of similar portals: one, and two, where there was overwhelming consensus of a very high turnout to delete a total of 2,555 such portals).
The nominator @ Hut 8.5 is correct that the reason this was omitted from the mass nominations is because it was previously a redirect. The pair of mass nominations were built from analysis of lists which started with @ The Transhumanist's page creations. However, this discovery by Hut 8.5 prompted me to do a search of the rest of the 69 portal redirects which I created over the years. Those which have been created to automated single-navbox portals are now listed at MFD:15 pseudo-portals built on former redirects. Many thanks, Hut 8.5! -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 22:59, 24 April 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Even if you think automatically created navbox portals have value and that Guernsey is sufficient scope I don't see any reason to have a separate portal from the Channel Islands one. Jersey and Guernsey comprise practically all the population and land area of the Channel Islands. Furthermore the smaller islands are all administratively associated with either Guernsey or Jersey, and that also seems to be in scope for the portal. Therefore having portals on Guernsey and Jersey would exactly duplicate the scope of the Channel Islands portal. Even in the main Guernsey article the only link to the Guernsey portal is hidden inside a closed navbox, whereas there is a prominent link to the Channel Islands portal.
