We are a small Wikipedia community, struggling to make things work out of Goa (India). To my dismay, some editor has gone ahead in deleting the Goa Portal which we have set up for long (on grounds that it has not been updated).

We got hardly any time to dispute this decision, and began working on the portal, when it was deleted! It becomes very difficult for a small community to fire-fight on such issues, specially when the decisions are taken in such haste. It took years to build this up; if the argument is "how many of our readers visit them?" then much of the Wikipedia needs to be deleted, and only a few pages pertaining to New York, London or some big cities elsewhere in the planet retained. Does anyone consider how much work goes into creating such portals in the first place? We need more of a level playing ground, if the Wikipedia is to really claim to reflect the diversity of human knowledge.
