Portal:Basque (DELISTING)

This is a Featured Portal delisting review. The purpose of this discussion is to determine whether or not the portal meets the Featured Portal criteria. If the determination is made that it does not meet those criteria by the end of the delisting review period (one month), it will have it's status as a Featured Portal revoked. Improvements can be made during this procedure, and indeed are encouraged, however because many improvements are promised but never delivered, a commitment to improve the portal in the future is not a valid rationale for keeping the portal at Featured status.

Rationale: Requesting summary delisting per requirement 1(d), which states "Featured portals that require maintenance and are not updated for three or more months are summarily demoted.". This portal requires manual maintenance and was last updated in 2007. Additionally, the quality of content is low, there are serious formatting issues, and all of the key sections are underpopulated (only seven articles, seven biographies, and a dozen images).

Husond, could you comment here? If you start work on changing the portal to a more dynamic format, such as for example Portal:Arts or Portal:Society, I'd be more than comfortable giving you some time to make progress on it. Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 05:51, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I've fixed the small font problem, so reviewers can see how the portal is (I think) intended to be viewed. Espresso Addict (talk) 04:02, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Let's wait one more week and revisit to see if there's any progress here, and unfortunately, if not, probably not going to stay at this level of quality. — Cirt (talk) 05:03, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Husond or Espresso Addict, any chance you were going to address above? — Cirt (talk) 06:32, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delist Why is this not delisted yet after over six months of "review" without any improvement? The portal has been last updated in 2007. Featuring a portal that displays "news" from 2007 is really embarrassing. --ELEKHH^T 08:25, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Closing as delisted. Bencherlite ^Talk 11:13, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
