It's fine to drop that section. What do I have to do to comply with this WikiProject? What did the RFC to delete portals decide? -SusanLesch (talk) 14:09, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
The RfC decided to keep portals. You don't have to do anything to "comply", but this project is developing some useful tools. You can invite us to use them on the Minnesota portal, use them yourself, or simply leave the existing pages as they are. Most of our work is in replacing neglected portals by a simple no-maintenance pattern, but that's not appropriate for Portal:Minnesota as it already exceeds that basic standard.

@The Transhumanist: Before I go through and double check all these, I just want to note that you've made a fair number of editorial changes in terms of content to display. This page has seemingly been inactive for nearly a decade, so that's fine, but it should at least be noted. ~ Amory(u • t • c)01:19, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
Portal:Chess/Selected article list is linked on many articles from their talkpage. It shouldn't be deleted as long as it's used in the wikiproject template, and should be updated to reflect the new format of Portal:Chess, in particular the table and instructions on how to add someone.
I've gone and done this. I ended up removing the link, I didn't think it was salvageable or particularly helpful/productive in the new format. ~ Amory(u • t • c)01:08, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
@Primefac, Amorymeltzer, Pbsouthwood, and Waggers: Yesterday, @RL0919: deleted the box-header pages for Portal:Narnia, which is great. I'd like to get your opinions on Portal:Narnia/Narnia topics. I tagged it three months ago, but I'm not sure the categories showed up to let you and others know that it was nominated for deletion. However, I did notify the creator of the template. Can it still be deleted, and if so, is T3 the right criterion?
I Would suggest starting a portal on labour movement in Pakistan. As I have plan to write different articles, can we build a portal.Umar shahid (talk) 21:50, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi Umar shahid. First there must be sufficient articles on a topic of sufficient quality for a portal, then we make the portal for them. How many articles are there so far? Is there a navbox or category which covers the topic? Cheers, · · · Peter (Southwood)(talk): 20:09, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

We should make sure portals for all the major holidays are created/checked long before their respective dates arrive. That way, we can avoid a last minute rush to fix bugs (like in Portal:Halloween).
Which brings a question to mind: what other holidays should have a portal?
@The Transhumanist, Northamerica1000, BrantleyIzMe, Emir of Wikipedia, and Robertgombos:
Here is my view: First off Portal:Christmas needs to be updated to fit the new automated design. We should also have a portal for Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Years. The first two are to represent that wikipedia acknowledges every religion during the holiday season and not just Christmas. New Years (or New Years eve) should have a portal because it is a universally celebrated holiday and it would be beneficial to link its to various New Years articles.
As for the future holidays: We should look to having a portal for St. Patricks Day and Easter. This portal project has been very actively recently and I love that it is at a peak. While we should continue to make portals about various every day items and the world around us, we should work on holidays portals as they begin to approach, such as maybe a few weeks before.
