Portal:Scientific method

This portal is is poor shape and seems to have been abandoned. —G716 <^T·_C> 15:10, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Wikipedia space. I agree, this portal is in poor shape and shouldn't be a live portal, but maybe it should be moved to Wikipedia space (e.g., as a subpage of a WikiProject or some other holding ground) in case someone wants to develop it again.--ragesoss (talk) 15:49, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete creating a portal isn't all that difficult and, should anyone express an interest in reviving this one, I have exactly zero issues with it being restored. But I don't see that happening, so we should get rid of it. — BQZip01 — ^talk 07:57, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A standard prerequisite for any portal is that it be useful as a navigational tool for finding articles related to its topic - and there is no clear navigational benefit to this portal. It provides links to the main article on its topic, to a number of incredibly broad semi-related categories (Category:Nature, for instance, is only tangentially related to the scientific method), and to a few other science-related portals. This sort of portal may have been acceptable four years ago, when it was constructed in almost the exact same form, but standards have increased since then.
