- Portal:United States Coast Guard (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Poorly maintained, narrow subject area compared to other armed services portals. The only selected article does not meet the standards of WP:POG. Also only one of the five selected biographies meets this guideline. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 02:18, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - Portal has 18 average daily pageviews, as opposed to 2642 for main article United States Coast Guard. A heritage-style portal with subpages, has five biographies and one article, meant to have multiple articles. Last additions appear to have been in 2011. Originator edits sporadically. Maintenance is done sporadically but does not include updating of content. Portal guidelines recommend at least 20 articles, not 6. A little-used subportal of Portal:Military of the United States.

- Delete this abandoned micro-portal. It has only 5 selected articles, and the most recent is Portal:United States Coast Guard/Selected biography/5, which was added in 2011.
- WP:POG requires that portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers". But in practice, this portal has not attracted maintainers for nearly a decade, and nor has it drawn in the readers: only 18 per day. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:11, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

- Delete both as inadequately maintained, and capable of being covered in Portal:Military of the United States if the latter is properly maintained., Robert McClenon (talk) 23:20, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - But the latter was deleted, and this one is still not being maintained. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:54, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Does not meet the breadth of subject area requirements of the WP:POG guideline. UnitedStatesian (talk) 04:25, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
