Every one of the 1,165 portals included in this mass nomination is part of a mass creation of portals based on a single navbox. That is, in each case the list of selected articles (using {{ Transclude list item excerpts as random slideshow}} or {{ Transclude linked excerpts as random slideshow}}) is drawn solely from a single navbox. For example, Portal:Comcast is based solely on Template:Comcast.
This makes each of these portals merely a fork of the navbox, with much less utility than the navbox because:
The topic's main page works much better as a navigational hub, because it includes:
I propose deleting all these portals in one go because,
Some of these portals cover narrow topics which should never have a portal. Others cover broad topics which might be capable of supporting a thoughtfully-designed and properly-curated portal which used a selected article list extending way beyond the navbox. So, as in the first mass nomination, I propose that these pages be deleted without prejudice to recreating a curated portal not based on a single navbox, in accordance with whatever criteria the community may have agreed at that time. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 19:30, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
The process by which the main list below was made is set out at WP:Miscellany for deletion/Second batch of mass-created portals based on a single navbox/Selection process. The AWB module which I used is at WP:Miscellany for deletion/Second batch of mass-created portals based on a single navbox/AWB module.
I welcome and encourage all scrutiny of the list and of the list-making process. If you would like assistance in replicating or testing my work, please post at WT:Miscellany for deletion/Second batch of mass-created portals based on a single navbox/Selection process, and ping me. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 19:32, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
The secondary list is a subset of the 36 portals which I removed from the first mass nomination, because checking revealed that they did not meet the criteria.
I processed that list to remove duplicates, non-existent pages, and pages already tagged for MFD; and then processed it again to keep only pages based on a single navbox. That left 21 pages. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 19:50, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
