Random US Counties:
(the redlinks were deleted by creator request after they were nominated here)
55 of 58 counties in California (not sure why 3 were not worthy of a portal)
and these were created without consideration of overlap between existing portals:
Evidently the plan was to create portals for all 3,142 counties and equivalents in the US, starting with California, with no thought to which locations warrant portals. Creating portals for them all or even a few is a bad idea. An even worse idea than portals for the 723 Indian Districts, which generally have much larger populations.
The Portal guidelines drafted by the creators of these portals say " portals should be about broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers." I submit these county level portals are unlikely to attract large numbers of interested readers or maintainers." Some of the listed California counties have 20,000 people in them. Some Texas counties (not created yet) have less than 1000 people. This is indiscriminate creation of portals. Legacypac ( talk) 07:03, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
