Portal:Poetry[edit]

This portal hasn't been maintained since January. The editor who was responsible for it has drastically dialed back his Wikipedia involvement. I've placed a notice on both the portal's talk page and the WikiProject talk page and no response has come in a week's time. I'm in no position to do anything with this portal, as I'm no expert on the subject and am already maintaining two portals that are featured portal candidates. Unless someone wants to step up, this portal needs to be defeatured, as its current state is somewhat embarassing. Planetneutral talk 02:37, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Remove Keep- I've done some to keep this alive, but don't think it's the best use of limited time right now. Unless someone's ready to really carry it forward, it's time to let it pass on painlessly. A Musing (formerly Sam) 02:33, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Wow, I hadn't even had time to write my comment before you'd responded. Remarkable. Planetneutral talk 02:37, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I've been watching for a while hoping someone would pick it up before we got to this process; I'd be happy to be one of several people maintaining it, but a portal that seems to interest only one person doesn't seem worthwhile, now, does it?

    Comment I greatly appreciate the work done to randomize this; I'll make an effort to periodically add material with a good mix of cultures, time periods and languages. Best, A Musing (formerly Sam) 17:34, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove in the absence of a maintainer or action (ie, randomisation) to rectify the situation.--cj | talk 13:20, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Support keeping thanks to the excellent work by SD.--cj | talk 04:07, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    A few more comments:
    • There are more poems and quotes in the archive that can be randomized.
    • If you would like, I can readd the Did you know... section and randomize the facts using {{Random subpage}}, removing the need for an dyk archive. Happy editing, S.D. 18:02, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very nice. I think I can change my vote to keep (or withdraw my nomination if that's more appropriate). Planetneutral talk 18:24, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep looks ok now after making it randomized. feydey 14:24, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
