More from the Sea of Abandoned Portals. This one has been abandoned since 2007 as a static page, with one selected article, one biog etc. All the same topics as 12 years ago.

Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Messianic Judaism shows a small set of sub-pages:
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 140 consecutive updates.
This seem to be a narrow topic. Messianic Judaism originated only in the 1960s and 1970s, and has only about 350,000 adherents worldwide. And in practice, it has not met the WP:POG requirement that portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers". This has not attracted maintainers, and in Jan–Feb 2019 got only 4 pageviews per day.
Per WP:PORTAL, "Portals serve as enhanced 'Main Pages' for specific broad subjects". But despite the effort put in here, the result is a much less effective introduction to the topic than the head article Messianic Judaism.
So I propose that this portal and its sub-pages be deleted, with prejudice against re-creating it. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 15:55, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
