Automatically created portal for a handful of articles. Basically duplicates the template Template:Allen Park, Michigan without additional benefits. The portal shows the same image (map) twice, once at the top and once rather big as the "selected image" (no other selected images available). The "subcategories" is one redlinked cat, and nothing else. The "selected general articles" is one-and-a-half line in a big box of nothingness by default (five articles in total).
All in all, a useless piece of automatically generated junk, visited 20 times a month, and not providing anything not already present in the template. Fram (talk) 12:42, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete, and we really need a bulk process for this, like for Neelix redirects. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:36, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete a ripoff of the template without context or depth. Yes we should be able to speedy this autogenerated junk. Legacypac (talk) 16:20, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete 10 articles listed in Navbox, a bit short of guideline of "about 20". I'm not sure the navbox itself should exist; there certainly doesn't seem to have been any consideration of whether the portal was needed or usable, rather than just generating one because the navbox was available to seed the portal.

- Delete - There are tens of thousands of towns of this size in the United States. Do they all need portals? Given the variety of types of local government in the United States, how does one define what third-level administrative subdivisions are covered? Robert McClenon (talk) 03:35, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- Fringe case according to the creator. [1] Legacypac (talk) 03:58, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - Broken portal.--Auric talk 13:07, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
- Added a few cities that are just like this page. See also Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Portal:Canton,_Michigan were the page was saved because there was no guideline. Rather than even following their own guideline, they made more pages that a lot of editors felt should be deleted. Legacypac (talk) 21:52, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
- Delete, more effort should go into portals. Ann Arbor is a decent topic for a portal, but this is not a decent portal for the topic. —Kusma (t·c) 07:37, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
