• Is this "Signpost poll" thing new? I don't recall seeing it around before. --Joshualouie711^talk 03:11, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

The poll script has been around for a long time. Just not used very often. A very effective tool (sometimes) in electronic newspapers and blogs for basically measuring reader opinion. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:26, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

• The poll does seem misplaced here. What weight could anyone put on its yes/no figures, especially as the RfC: Ending the system of portals remains open and providing more nuanced opinions? AllyD (talk) 08:35, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

• The poll was just a thing to get readers more engaged. Someone mentioned it when the article was being edited, so I put it in. — pythoncoder  (talk | contribs) 11:34, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

• For everyone's information, some generous souls have compiled a very thourough and informative write-up of the discussion. Zarasophos (talk) 10:54, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
