Portal:Computer-generated imagery

Portal:Computer-generated imagery (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Clearly largely redundant to Portal:Computer graphics. Both are old portals. Portal guidelines caution against duplicating the topic of another portal. Legacypac (talk) 21:44, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've no objection to this. However, I'd suggest that CGI is the superior portal by quite a large margin. Personally, I'd prefer a refactor of CGI to CG and deletion of CG. Perhaps a portal on the topic is still a useful resource to some. http://stats.grok.se/en/201904/Portal:Computer-generated%20imagery is giving an internal server error so I can't really assess that.

Portal CGI is running about 11 views a day while Portal:Computer graphics is running 1137 views in 30 days. If the decision is to move CGI over CG and rename that would be fine with me. They are very close to the same topic. Legacypac (talk) 22:28, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Adding the other portal so that one can be deleted and the other kept.
  • Keep one and Delete the other. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:06, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep at least one of them
- Old portal, 22 subpages, created 2008-06-24 15:02:16 by User:Dhatfield. Portal:Computer-generated imagery
- Old portal, 22 subpages, created 2008-06-30 16:33:33 by User:Dhatfield. Portal:Computer graphics
- pageviews = [wmflabs]
one of them should be used to ameliorate the other and then be deleted.
The best would be that someone steps forward as a maintainer, and takes the burden of the corresponding editorial decisions.

  • Merge into Portal:Computer graphics. I believe that to be the more commonly used name, but that's based on subjective experience as opposed to any hard evidence. I think a lot of people recognise the acronym "CGI" without knowing what it stands for. WaggersTALK 14:48, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
