Port 80

First of all, welcome to wikipedia. Please read WP:Tutorial for help on editing.

Your article on Port 80 Breaks with wikipedia's style guidelines.
It contains unencyclopedic information, which could've been explained in a better way. It really holds some potential, but also a lot of nonsense.
Consider what happends if all 65536 ports need their own page.
The topic is covered in the HTTP article.
Such services should be covered by name, not by port numer, like the case is with HTTP, DNS, FTP etc etc. I see that some people might look for port 80, but then it is better to add a redirect.
It really does not cover technical aspects of the HTTP protocol.
It has no inter-wiki links. It is not linked from any article.

For the reasons outlined, I don't think this page should exist on wikipedia, however, I'm not going to suggest it on the Articles for Deletion page. I however encourage you to list it as a candidate for speedy deletion yourself, since you're the sole editor of it so far, or add a redirect to the HTTP article.

Good luck in further edits. And you can always reply on my talk page :)
