Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Nanotechnology

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was: delete. Ultimately, the fact that this portal served incorrect information to readers (albeit not many readers) for several years is the most concerning point brought up at this MfD, and while it's true that someone popped up to fix some of these errors once this MfD is created, I don't see strong consensus that there is an adequate plan to prevent this portal from misinforming readers again in the near future. The consensus among delete voters is more convincing in this case, that a combination of various factors sets this portal up for failure: no active WikiProject supporting the portal, no likelihood of long-term regular maintenance, an overly complex subpage structure that would be difficult for most other editors to comprehend, and a topic that is on the forefront of current scientific research and therefore is constantly changing and updating. ‑Scottywong| [talk] || 22:34, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
