[edit] Portal:Recovery

Portal:Recovery (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This portal (subpages) suffers from at least three problems:

  1. Incompleteness: The portal contains very little content, with most of the boxes being empty or in need of a complete rewrite (/Intro and /Categories). While incompleteness is a problem that can be remedied, the effort required to create a new portal would not be substantially more than the effort required to complete this one.
  2. Lack of attention: The portal was created, and all edits to it were made, in May 2007. Moreover, the portal's creator has been effectively inactive for the past 5 months, having made a total of 5 edits since October.
  3. Scope: The focus of the portal is recovery from addiction, with an overemphasis on twelve-step programs. However, "recovery" can refer to many things, including recovery from an illness or injury (healing) and recovery of lost or stolen property, persons (e.g. hostages), or information (see data recovery). A portal with such a general name should not have such a narrow scope. A better title for a portal about this topic might be Portal:Drug rehabilitation (see Category:Drug rehabilitation) or Portal:Addiction (see Category:Addiction); however, a simple rename from this title to another is not an adequate solution.
  • Delete per nom. The portal clearly refers to the Recovery model, but is inaccurately named, as above. Also, while I think that there is sufficient content for such a portal to be created, this one is woefully incomplete and, at present, there is no good reason to think it will ever get enough attention to be really completed.

  • Delete per above. Limited material for a portal and it's receiving little attention. PeterSymonds | talk 11:35, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
