Another automated spam portal, which draws it "selected articles list" solely from List of peanut dishes, of which it is therefore a redundant fork. There is no non-automated version.
This portal was created
[1] in December 2018 by @
The Transhumanist (TTH) as a fully-automated portal drawing its "selected articles" solely from Template:{{PAGENAME}}
. That resolves to
Template:Peanuts, which is about the cartoon character.
So in the next edit, TTH switched the source to List of peanut dishes. This makes the portal merely a bloated fork of that list, just as redundant as if the source was a navbox. (For a full explanation of why a portal cloned off a navbox 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).
Since the mass nominations, I have become aware of two newish features of Wikipedia which means that bare List of peanut dishes has all the functionality of the portal:
These functions have also been available since 2015 for users of the Wikipedia Android app.
The list also presents a lop-sided view of the topic. Category:Peanuts shows a lot of other peanut-related articles, which are not included in the portal.
I have some doubts that this single crop actually qualifies as broad topic to satisfy 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". Category:Peanuts isn't v big.
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. But I wouldn't oppose outright deletion on grounds of the topic's narrowness. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 01:51, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
