Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Agriculture
Automated pseudo-portal based on two navboxes: {{Agriculture footer}} and {{Agriculture}}. Both are transcluded in the head article Agriculture, making this page a WP:REDUNDANTFORK of the head article.
There is no manual version to revert to. For over 13 years after its creation in 2005, the page was a redirect to Portal:Agriculture and agronomy (which was renamed a few times along the way). Then in January 2019, @The Transhumanist converted[1] it to an automated portal.
This is obviously a major topic; agriculture is a Level 2 vital article, i.e. of the top 100 priority topics. So I propose that this portal be deleted without prejudice to recreating a curated portal which is not a WP:REDUNDANTFORK, in accordance with whatever criteria the community may have agreed at that time.

- PS The old Portal:Agriculture and agronomy currently redirects to Portal:Agriculture. If this page is deleted, the the old Agriculture and agronomy portal should be reverted back to is last live version[2]. It has a minor forest of subpages, as can be seen at Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Agriculture and agronomy: 50 selected articles. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 06:11, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. On the assumption that this portal is deleted, I'd suggest moving Portal:Agriculture and agronomy to this title. I note that UnitedStatesian has already restored the old manual version. Espresso Addict (talk) 03:21, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
- Yes BHG and EA, I went ahead and restored Portal:Agriculture and agronomy to its pre-redirected version, and retargeted Portal:Agriculture and Agronomy to it. No need to wait, and I didn't want to get into a situation where deletion of Portal:Agriculture led to a CSD G8 deletion first of Portal:Agriculture and agronomy and Portal:Agriculture and Agronomy, followed by a CSD G8 deletion of all of their subpages. Also removed the tracking cat from Portal:Agriculture and added it at Portal:Agriculture and agronomy. Agree that a move (including all subpages) should follow any deletion of Portal:Agriculture; I will take care of it should that time arrive. UnitedStatesian (talk) 03:26, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
