Portal:Roman–Persian Wars

Delete Just-created multi-page portal; no evidence for consensus that it meets the WP:POG guideline's breadth-of-subject-area requirement (base article is a Level-4 vital article). UnitedStatesian (talk) 21:14, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi... 1) The portal is still under edit. There are still a lot of battles and biographies that can be added to the portal. 2) The portal is like that of the Napoleonic Wars (since I used that portal as model for the new one), so I think it can be a good one by adding more information.

Neutral, but if kept should be open for renomination within 60 days, and illustrates the need for WP:Portals for Discussion. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:49, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Again, Vital Level 4 (and 3 and 2) are a nonsensical classification system. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:49, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:POG says that portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers", but a single set of ancient wars is far too narrow. It's only a Level 4 Vital Article i.e. it is in the 1,001–10,000 range of priority topics. Many portals on higher-level topics are unmaintained and broken, so there is no reason to expect that this one will be an exception.

The head article Roman–Persian Wars, with its excellent infobox and its navbox {{Campaignbox Roman–Persian Wars}} is already an exceptionally good navigational hub. Per WP:PORTAL, "Portals serve as enhanced 'Main Pages' for specific broad subjects", but this one has a very high bar to cross do better than the fine head article. I see no reason to expect that this will be one of the very rare portals which actually provide a genuinely enhanced version of the head article. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:04, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
