This portal is obviously not being maintained, since it states that Mr. Mugabe is the President, but he was overthrown in 2017. Such a portal is useless. This portal has 16 daily pageviews, as opposed to 4763 for the article. Although a country is a priori a broad subject area, it is not attracting readers or a portal maintainer. It should be deleted without prejudice to a future human-maintained portal. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:59, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. No, it is *worse* than useless. Any reader finding this reader-facing page will see unmaintained, out of date, wrong information, and with its highly complicated wikimarkup, they will likely be dumbfounded by any attempt they may make to fix it. Compare with Zimbabwe, which is easily edited, and existing text is directly coupled to sources, which is what we want readers to see and understand. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:05, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
