Portal:Iceland

It seems that this portal fell into some kind of permanent hibernation shortly after receiving the promotion to featured portal status in 2008: The latest "news" are from January 2008 (e.g. Bobby Fischer's death in Reykjavík), and there wasn't much change in the other sections as well. For example, the selection of 13 pictures for the "Selected picture" section is from 2007 and was not changed or expanded since then. So, in my opinion, it doesn't fulfill Featured portal criteria (d) - it isn't well-maintained. It is a nice-looking portal for sure, but unless there are people willing to rejuvenate and maintain it, I do not think it deserves the "featured" status anymore. In fact, criteria (d) states "Featured portals that require maintenance and are not updated for three or more months are summarily demoted"... so is there even a discussion needed? The news section at least certainly would require maintenance and updates, but was ignored for years... But I would like to give the portal a chance. Maybe an option would be to re-design it in way that needs less maintenance, e.g. by removing the "news" section? Gestumblindi (talk) 14:12, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Keep as long as being maintained. Sadly haven't got much time lately for editing. Húsönd 19:07, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
