- Delete subpage Portal:Slovenia/New article announcements, which has not recieved special attention since 2012. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 23:07, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- Comment – As this is a detailed page that has received a fair amount of edits, it may be better to tag the page atop with the {{historical}} template, which would serve to demonstrate the work that occurred to this aspect of the portal in the past, as well as to retain the page as a general historical reference.

- Delete subpages of Portal:Sports/Selected picture, as they are no longer needed. The "Selected pictures" box for Portal:Sports is now generated by a single page: Portal:Sports/Selected picture. —andrybak (talk) 14:29, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- Ditto for subpages of Portal:Fish/Selected picture. —andrybak (talk) 21:33, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
- Subpages of Portal:Russia/Selected picture, from Portal:Russia/Selected picture/5 till Portal:Russia/Selected picture/25 – they were replaced using {{Portal pictures}} or removed as off-topic, see Special:Diff/989855590/989955952 and Special:Diff/989956373. Note that subpages one through four are still in use. —andrybak (talk) 23:57, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
In the previous discussions in 2019 it was understood that the exclusion of subpages must be by MfD. I believe that this section "Requests for Admin assistance " should be removed from this talk page.Guilherme Burn (talk) 12:02, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- Do you have a link to that consensus? My view is that it's legitimate to request assistance for technical changes, such as when replacing Portal:Foo/Articles/1 to /99 by a template in Portal:Foo which produces similar excerpts, but not as part of demolishing a portal (for example, after quietly replacing its main page by a redirect to a broader portal). Certes (talk) 13:11, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- I don't have the link, I can search for discussions, but this is unnecessary. @Certes: you are a witness, like me, of the thousands of excluded subpages that were restored. I think it is better not to repeat the same mistake again, or we exclude via MfD or leave them in limbo for a while.(Or we propose a new criterion for speed deletions)Guilherme Burn (talk) 14:01, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Wikinews
editVarious portal subpages are being deleted following the closure of the Wikinews project. Some of them are used on their portals' main pages, which may require edits to remove the resulting redlinks or blank sections. Certes (talk) 19:16, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
