I'm pretty new to Ingress and I noticed there's a huge amount of portals in my city. I don't mind that much, I just wonder: Are portals ever deleted for any reason?

Yes, portals can be deleted. Recently in Germany all 2nd world war concentration camps have been cleared of portals. This is a rather unusual case though. But portals can be deleted by reporting them.
If you feel a portal is against the rules (e.g. I have seen grass and standard road markings...), is removed from the real world or is in a dangerous location, you can report it to Niantic:
While the portal is removed from the game world, I believe your stats (unique hacks & captures) will not be decreased.
