The Pakistan Super League is a narrow topic, just a single league of 6 cricket teams. This portal is redundant to the broader Portal: Cricket. As can be seen at Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Pakistan Super League, most of its sub-pages have already been moved to the broader cricket portal.

- Keep I have to disagree here; the PSL project is not a narrow topic, but covers a large base of articles ranging from Pakistani to international cricketers featuring in the league, as well as several dedicated sub-articles of its own. I don't understand why all the subpages were moved to the Cricket portal without discussion with any of the editors involved at WP:PSL. There should have been a discussion on it first.

- @
UnitedStatesian: The portal was pretty decently kept up with; but with the same logic as
MFD:P:NHL, I figured this would never survive a deletion discussion here. By moving the subpages as I did, the portal still functions but also serves the wider
Portal:Cricket as well.
Mar4d has a good point that the scope is not as narrow as many here are suggesting (cricket is HUGE is Pakistan), but I do think there is a lot of overlap with P:Cricket. –

- Thanks @
MJL: where do you stand on the salvaging of the other sports league portals, as you said in
MFD:P:NHL that you were working on in advance of a bulk nomination?

- @
UnitedStatesian: I kind of got backlogged with other nominations. There was like hundreds of subpages I could have gone through with this. The main problem as I had was trying to figure out exactly what system of subpage transclusion worked the best, so I gave up on salvaging anything but the initial ones and low-hanging fruit.
Also, my track record for bulk nominations is pretty poor –

- I just thought about this right after I clicked published changes. If I had
pagemover rights, I probably would get that process started again because moving pages was the biggest obstacle tbh. However, I don't want to request additional rights for myself at this time because I don't consider myself a trusted user by the community. –

- Delete barely used portal and the scope is narrow, it's for one competition. Everything else e.g. international cricketers, can be covered in Portal: Cricket. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 06:21, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
- Delete limited scope, minimal usage, pretty straight-forward delete. Harrias talk 09:39, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
- Delete:
- Portal:Cricket suffices.
- WP:POG isn't met here.
- WP:PORTALs require active maintenance.
