Portal:Blackberries

Fails WP:POG as not enough scope of articles. The featured articles include much broader pages like crumble, Drupelet, invasive species and Aggregate fruit. Below 20 articles. Mass creation by User:The Transhumanist. I'm not convinced that Wikiproject Food and drink or agriculture wants to support these mass created portals.

Delete same issues as with the blueberry portal. Rubus is a massive genus, and every species has edible berries. There a few cultivated species that are called blackberries. There are many wild species with black fruits, some of which are called blackberries and some of which are called dewberries. The genus Rubus would be a better scope for a portal rather than arbitrarily picking a handful of the species that are called "blackberries". But Rubus fruits are still of pretty minor importance as human food source, and a portal isn't needed. Plantdrew (talk) 16:33, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. An automated portal only worth of an automated deletion. Pldx1 (talk) 18:27, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No category, which is a required portal element (WP:POG). —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 22:24, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
