True. We should have portals for television shows, video game and culture, instead of the portals you mentioned. That's what WikiProjects were made for. Maybe we should have such portals moved to a subpage of their respective projects?
I think portals should be the "public face" of WikiProjects. A portal should only exist if there is a formal set of users dedicated to keeping it maintained. If this is not happening, it should be archived or deleted (preferably archived). Pages like [[Portal:Cricket]], while potentially just fan pages, actually provide an excellent method of navigating appropriate content. If they are kept up, they do no harm. If they are not kept up, they look messy and a messy portal seems worse than an incomplete article.
