Another abandoned portal, on the Iranian city of Nishapur. Static page, with one selected one biog etc. Very few updates since created in 2011.
Created [1] in April 2011 by Chyah ( talk · contribs), who has been indef-blocked for sockpuppetry since 2017.
Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Nishapur 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 90 updates.
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 Nishapur. The article is a poor C-class, but still much better than the portal.
The city of Nishapur has a long history, dating back to the 3rd century, but Category:Nishapur shows that Wikipedia has little coverage of it. WP:POG requires 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, and in Jan–Feb 2019 it got only 6 pageviews per day.
So I propose that this portal and its sub-pages be deleted, with prejudice against re-creating it. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 18:43, 18 May 2019 (UTC).
