Portal:Kazi Nazrul Islam

Portal on a subject for which we have only a few articles. While this topic might justify a portal on an indian language WP, there isnt enough content here. this entire portal could be duplicated with "see also" links at the few articles on him and his creations.

Though, the portal has some few articles, but some pages have created by other Wikipedians a few days ago. I created that page within a short time and when I get time, I will try to expand this portal. Other Bangladeshi wikipedians will also try to expand the page. Because of the importance, this portal shouldn't be removed.(Mohd. Toukir Hamid (talk) 06:03, 18 September 2014 (UTC))[reply]
its not that the portal has few articles, its that the topic has few:
Chol Chol Chol, Bidrohi and marginally Firoza Begum (singer) and other singers of his works. This isnt even enough for a navigation box, though if that was created, it would allow for any future articles to be put there. Generally, portals are for topics for which there are hundreds, or thousands, of articles, with the portal highlighting the FA, GA, or perhaps B class articles (and not stubs tagged for notability), and providing for category trees and other navigation aids. again, this topic doesnt need any of that. for someone, every single topic on WP is important. we dont create a portal just cause someone likes a topic (I like Jim Starlin and Neem Karoli Baba, and i dont need portals for them). I know this person is important to bangladesh, not just yourself, but WP doesnt have a portal on Mahatma Gandhi either, who is unarguably more notable than this subject. creating a portal gives the impression that a topic must be of huge general importance. that can qualify as promotion and POV pushing if taken too far, which this portal does. when i saw his name listed in the poetry portals, i said "oh, cool, that must be a whole genre of poetry i had not heard of, someone must have done a great job of fleshing out hundreds of articles. imagine my surprise when i discover its one person, and definitely not a poet to be ranked next to shakespeare (in terms of english language coverage), who has a portal. ps: There is too much quoting of his poetry here, i think its a violation of copyright.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 14:52, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply
