Portal:Mitochondria
Yet another abandoned portal. This one has been abandoned since 2015 as a static page, with one selected article, one biog etc. All the same topics as 4 years ago.
Created[1] in July 2015 by Aogarlid (talk · contribs).
Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Mitochondria shows a small set of sub-pages:
- Portal:Mitochondria/Selected article/1, Portal:Mitochondria/Selected article/2 & Portal:Mitochondria/Selected article/3. All unchnanged since creation in 2015, and all with the same redundant topic: the head article Mitochondrion.
- Portal:Mitochondria/Selected biography. Same topic (Peter D. Mitchell) since the page was created in 2015[2]
- Portal:Mitochondria/Selected picture. Same image (File:Mitochondria,_mammalian_lung_-_TEM.jpg) since the page was created in 2015[3]
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 45 consecutive updates.
This seems to be narrow topic.
WP:POG requires that portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers". This has not attracted maintainers, and in 2018 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) 17:04, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - Agree that this is a detailed narrow subject area, and will never be a broad subject area. The portal has 8 daily pageviews, with 2326 daily pageviews for the head article. A thorough knowledge of biochemical power plants. If Portal:Organic chemistry has failed pre-medicine, it is not surprising that Portal:Mitochondria has also failed.

- Delete This portal does not meet the breadth-of-subject-area requirement of the WP:POG guideline. UnitedStatesian (talk) 12:38, 27 May 2019 (UTC)]
