Labour Movement of Pakistan - Portal[edit]

Hello Admins,

I Would suggest starting a portal on labour movement in Pakistan. As I have plan to write different articles, can we build a portal.Umar shahid (talk) 21:50, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi Umar shahid. First there must be sufficient articles on a topic of sufficient quality for a portal, then we make the portal for them. How many articles are there so far? Is there a navbox or category which covers the topic? Cheers, · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 20:09, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Holiday portals[edit]

@Northamerica1000, AmericanAir88, BrantleyIzMe, Emir of Wikipedia, and Robertgombos:

We should make sure portals for all the major holidays are created/checked long before their respective dates arrive. That way, we can avoid a last minute rush to fix bugs (like in Portal:Halloween).

Which brings a question to mind: what other holidays should have a portal?

I look forward to your replies. Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   04:39, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

@The Transhumanist, Northamerica1000, BrantleyIzMe, Emir of Wikipedia, and Robertgombos: Here is my view: First off Portal:Christmas needs to be updated to fit the new automated design. We should also have a portal for Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Years. The first two are to represent that wikipedia acknowledges every religion during the holiday season and not just Christmas. New Years (or New Years eve) should have a portal because it is a universally celebrated holiday and it would be beneficial to link its to various New Years articles.

As for the future holidays: We should look to having a portal for St. Patricks Day and Easter. This portal project has been very actively recently and I love that it is at a peak. While we should continue to make portals about various every day items and the world around us, we should work on holidays portals as they begin to approach, such as maybe a few weeks before.

Thanks for including me on this. AmericanAir88(talk) 12:01, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Good ideas. I got a start on the conversion of Portal:Christmas. Needs a couple more sections.    — The Transhumanist   13:43, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
P.S.: @AmericanAir88: ping

Portal:Pendeli tagged for speedy deletion[edit]

@Primefac, Waggers, Amorymeltzer, and Pbsouthwood:

Portal:Pendeli has been sitting in an underpopulated and incomplete state for years.

Unlikely to have enough scope for completion.

Please speedy delete it and its subpages.

Thank you.    — The Transhumanist   02:57, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

 Done, · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 05:15, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Please speedy delete Portal:Salem, Oregon[edit]

Per g7 (author) and p2 (underpopulated).

It's a single-page portal.

Thank you.    — The Transhumanist   03:07, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
