The result of this discussion was delist. Here is my rationale. It failed to meet 1(a) and 1(d) of the criteria. The subject of this portal is substantial enough to provide large selections of high-quality pieces to the portal (as shown by a long list in the "Recommended articles" section). Yet in each component of the portal (DYK, biographies, pictures & articles), the number of pages showcased is much less than desired. On top of that, during a quick spot check, I observed that quite a number of article selections showcased aren't of high quality (good or featured articles). Also, the portal seems to have stopped updating since June 2011. Photos did not provide linked credits so it also failed to meet criteria #3. Hence my decision is to remove/delist this portal of its featured status. OhanaUnited Talk page 00:36, 1 June 2012 (UTC) reply
This portal hasn't been updated since 2009, and doesn't select content randomly; in its current state it offers no content. -- Gyrobo ( talk) 15:44, 10 June 2011 (UTC) reply

Update we are no longer in speedy delisting territory. WhisperToMe has almost finished rebuilding the portal using random components, and then it should be a relatively simple matter to make the last few tweaks to finish bringing it up to modern standards.

The last thing we need to do is fill up the quotes section: Portal:Houston/Selected quote WhisperToMe ( talk) 02:33, 26 June 2011 (UTC) reply
As I said at user talk:Cirt some days ago after he asked me what my views now were, "Well, it would be nice to have more than 4 quotes but that's hardly a deal-breaker. Close it as a "retain status", I suggest." Hopefully someone will do the honours sometime soon... Bencherlite Talk 11:01, 3 May 2012 (UTC) reply
