Unused, single editor, probably test page.

Keep - on the way to being a decent portal, someone might want to pick up where the editor left off. Deletion does not save space. I left a note for the WikiProject. –

Keep - a good start for a Portal. I know nothing about creating them, so I can't work on it, but I think this would be a useful portal. -- PhantomSteve (

Strong keep these portal deletions, which everyone disagrees with, are starting to become
WP:POINT nominations.

No. I am not nominating to
WP:POINT something. I never do that. --

Keep - as the originator of this portal, I can assure you it's not a test page - I'd do that in my namespace. I had every intention of working more on this, but life got busy and it didn't happen. I'll admit I'm not familiar with deletion policy in this case, but what evidence is there that it is 'unused' and what difference does it make if there is a single editor? —

That only you contributed on this one is a strong evidence that the community doesn't feel like maintaining a portal for the subject. Sorry for thinking it was a test page but there seem to be four subpages missing. It's incomplete and
Portal:Monty Python/Selected skit is just complete of red links. --

Are these grounds for deletion? From my looking around there really isn't any criteria for Portals. This portal is, admittedly, unfinished, but that's not a reason to delete, in my opinion. We're not on a deadline. —

Delete No one seems to understand the basics of portals (and I think it is stupid that this is hidden behind guidelines) but they should not be a disambiguation to just articles. They represent multiple topics and this one is just a portal about a group of people from a comedy show (we aren't going to create a portal for every band or club, are we?). Construction and inactivity is not what bothers me, but the uninteresting topics that are created. ZooFari 21:24, 29 August 2009 (UTC)reply
Keep If ZooFari's hypothetical band or group had 5 feature films, a TV series, 18 albums, and several stage shows, books, and computer games, then yeah I think they might qualify for a portal as well. I don't see a lack of breadth for this topic!

If this group has that many acknowledgements, I'd be happy to change to keep. ZooFari 04:36, 30 August 2009 (UTC)reply
Weak keep page is harmless and has the potential to become a fine portal. Nonetheless, if we come back in a year and the history is still this short, deletion/userfication as abandoned may be appropriate. --Thinboy00 @238, i.e. 04:42, 31 August 2009 (UTC)reply
Keep this clearly isn't a test page and there is plenty of scope here. Whilst it doesn't look completely finished it is almost entirely there and there's no reason to delete it. Hut 8.5 14:15, 31 August 2009 (UTC)reply
Keep, potentially a fine portal. Perhaps some younger editors are unaware of the impact and influence of Monty Python?
