Template:Power Rangers 2 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This template was an attempt to create a sidebar topic template like those found on articles such as Evolution or Judaism, however, it was subsituted for the longest time until I found it through a Special:Whatlinkshere for one of the articles linked through it that I cannot remember. Now, the only edits to it are short term edit wars over the image within, switching between a fair use image and a crappy logo that I made myself that's GFDL and cannot be construed as fair use. Seeing as the template was phased out for the longest time, I see no reason that it can't be phased out completely.—Ryūlóng () 21:14, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Bus Terminals in Moscow Oblast (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

All of the pages contained in the template are now redirects following a merge performed per this AfD. Thus, the template is no longer in use. -- Black Falcon 17:42, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - or if there's an appropriate page for the content of this template, then subst there before deleting. Mike Peel 22:25, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Most users supported keeping these articles, not redirect. And nearly all who supported redirect also supported keeping hence I have no idea why these articles should be redirects.--Dojarca 07:07, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • My nomination is largely procedural. If you can create the articles with more content, please do so. If you intend to recreate the articles (with more content) in the future, please note so here and I will ask the closing admin to userfy the template. I am all for there being individual articles on the bus terminals (and thus, in support of there being this template), but until such articles do exist and this template is in use, I think it will be deleted. -- Black Falcon 07:55, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • There were valid stubs and I think they should be expanded by those who live in those cities. If we did delete all stubs, we would never get articles on Moscow Metro stations for instance. Or should all stubs be deleted? Ok delete Ryazan Central Bus Terminal and Moscow Central Bus Terminal then. Second, it seems that the vast majority of users (including you and me) do not support turning those articles into redirects and seems that the closing admin made his desision unfairly and ignoring the will of the community. I see no reason why the template should be userfied if it is possible to keep it. --Dojarca 09:52, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        • But the template can't be kept if it links only to one article (the main list of bus termainals). I agree that the decision should probably have been no consensus keep rather than merge as a supermajority of editors argued for keep or keep/merge. However, the problem was that the articles did not do enough to establish notability, which even stubs should do. If the template is userfied, it can always be remade as a template if the redirects are ever turned into articles once again. I have tagged all of these redirects as {{R with possibilities}}. -- Black Falcon 23:15, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
          • Notability is a property of a topic, not of an article, isn't it? Anyway each article may say that the Bus Terminal is the principal bus transport hub in the city. Is it enough to establish notability?--Dojarca 07:00, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
            • True, notability is a property of the topic and I believe the bus terminals were notable. However, to prove notability, it is necessary to provide multiple, reliable sources that discuss the subject in a non-trivial manner. -- Black Falcon 16:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
              • If so, then the creation of any stubs is impossible.--Dojarca 07:33, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
                • No, because stubs too should try to establish the notability of the topic via, I would say, at least one source. Besides, the histories still exist. You can revert and expand the articles at any time. And if this template is userfied, it can be restored at any time. However, the point is not whether the articles should or should not have been deleted. It's that this template cannot remain in the template-space as long as it only links to redirect pages. I think this is a good/useful template that should exist, but only if it links to real articles. I think it's safe to say that if you turn even just one or two of the redirects into stub-class articles (hopefully with one or more sources so that it's not automatically changed back to a redirect), this template could and should stay. I will research some of the bus terminals tomorrow to see if I can find multiple, reliable, non-trivial sources to establish notability. If I can find such sources, I will recreate the articles myself and withdraw this nomination. Cheers, Black Falcon 08:20, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete without prejudice for recreation if the now-redirected stubs become full articles. --Iamunknown 19:57, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment as nom. I just now noticed that I had not specified my desired outcome in my nomination. Although it should be clear from the above discussion, I support userfying the template prior to its deletion from the template-space. -- Black Falcon 23:46, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:World Leaders in the 2000s (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This was used on one article page which is now deleted. Only remaining transclusion is in user space. Could be userfied or substituted, and deleted. It would be almost useless as a navigation template in its current form. Gimmetrow 17:08, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Big Love episode (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This infobox is not in use. (probably after most of it's articles were deleted as copyright violations???). In case new articles are created, {{Infobox Television episode}} can easily be used TheDJ (talkcontribsWikiProject Television) 17:03, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Desperate Housewives episode (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Template:Infobox DuckTales episode (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Template:Infobox Entourage episode (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Template:In the Heat of the Night episode (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Template:SATC episode (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Template:SeaQuest episode (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Template:Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Template:Super Mario World episode (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Template:M*A*S*H episode (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Template:Infobox Blackadder episode (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

All these infoboxes are duplicate with {{Infobox television episode}} with the exception of carrying a color in it's headers. Since I cannot find enough concensus for adding a color option to {{Infobox television episode}} (people seem to fear it will result in skittlepedia, even after I found a way to keep it consistent for a series). This leaves me with the options of either ignoring the huge amount of duplicity in showspecific infoboxes, for the sake of color, or simply removing the color from all these pages. This can be seen as my attempt at the latter option.
Note that more episode boxes have colors, but these have additional issues, such as information from the fictional world or plot elements contained in them, which makes them unsuitable to treat them here in this discussion. This is part of a larger effort to remove duplicity in episode infoboxes. TheDJ (talkcontribsWikiProject Television) 16:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment it's worthy to point out that, some of these infoboxes were created long before the more general "Infobox Television episode" was created. As such it's not bypassing the concensus, it's maintenance to get them replaced with a newer template, which doesn't provide 100% feature compatibility. TheDJ (talkcontribsWikiProject Television) 20:41, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment As the one who redesigned the M*A*S*H template, I'd like to point out that while they look the same, I redesigned the box to add missing fields from the standard box, but while not breaking every existing use of the template. Therefore, in the event that this template be deleted, a good deal of maintenance would need to be done to synchronize the fields with the standard box to avoid busted infoboxes. Hotstreets 21:16, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's one of the reasons these boxes need to go. It's a problem maintaining so many of them, while they all actually wanna carry the same information. TheDJ (talkcontribsWikiProject Television) 21:45, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment you didn't read the nomination correctly. It's not about the information in the boxes that will be deleted, it's about replacing those boxes with a more standard one TheDJ (talkcontribsWikiProject Television) 05:19, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I believe he means the colour conveys useful information, I believe it does as well. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 08:47, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, fork. >Radiant< 11:33, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Replace with the primary infobox, after the color option is added to it. There's no reason to have several infoboxes, when one will do. --Elonka 00:20, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep till a colour option is added to the main infobox. Stickeylabel 13:35, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, add colour option if necessary, though I'd neutral on that. Just add the colour option now, no need to keep until its added. --Iamunknown 19:02, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Addendum to my original comments: I still support deletion. This is a fork, and an unnecessary one at that. If their is consensus to add color options to the main template (Template:Infobox Television episode), then add it. If not, then don't. Please note that with the proposed template additions on the talk page (i.e. style="{{#ifexist:Template:{{{Series}}} colors|color: {{{{{Series}}} colors|headertext}};|}}background: {{#ifexist:Template:{{{Series}}} colors|{{{{{Series}}} colors|header}}|#DEDEE2}};) every single ''Template:{{{Series}}} colors'' template would have to indefinitely protected from image vandalism, which would be incredibly easy with background-image: and some resizing magick. The forks should be deleted, the content dispute should be dealt with on the talk page, simple. --Iamunknown 20:08, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"*Delete. It is true that color can convey information, but in these cases, it does not convey anything useful or interesting. There are thousands of television programs, and if each program has its own semi-arbitrary color, any attempt to discern meaning is doomed to failure. Before any colors are used, a scheme for assigning colors should be devised. Otherwise, it's simply arbitrary, and, well, meaningless. For a good example of colors used properly to actually convey information, see {{Infobox Album}}. The Album Wikiproject could have allowed each artists albums to have a common color, but that would be foolish and pointless, just as these color assignments are foolish and pointless. Xtifr tälk 17:32, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not totally. These are episode infoboxes, but the color would be consistent per television series by use of a template color table. So Simpsons yellow on the Simpsons articles could be possible. The use of templates could simplify deleting a colortable by simply putting it trough TfD/MfD. --TheDJ (talkcontribsWikiProject Television) 19:51, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:MWRInfobox (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This template was created for only one team, is a duplicate of {{NASCAR_Owner_Infobox}}. The only difference is a manufacture space, which requires a logo, which I doubt is fair use in a template. This template isn't necessary, therefore, strong delete. --D-Day 15:03, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Groups supported by Islamic Republic of Iran (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

POV inclusion template. Moreover, the labelling of PLO as 'Sunni' is bizarre. --Soman 13:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closing admin: the main contributor to this template is User:Patchouli who is recently banned indefinitely for his anti-Iranian POV Pushing. see Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive204#POV_pushing--Pejman47 17:47, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep I have included abundant sources in the template's talk page. As far as I know, PLO is predominantly Sunni. If there is a small error, then you can fix it. Deleting the well-researched template altogether is wrong.--Patchouli 13:39, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - could probably be speedy deleted ("Templates that are divisive and inflammatory."). However, it may be worth turning (or merging) into an article. Mike Peel 15:44, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: There could be (if there isn't already) an article discussing allegations of Iranian involvement in foreign politics and aid to political factions abroad. However, its highly unsuitable for a template. What would be the reaction to 'Template:Groups supported by the CIA'? Or a template branding PUK/KDP as recipients of Israeli aid? --Soman 18:47, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, however the distinction between Shia and Sunni groups is unecessary and somewhat misleading. --GHcool 18:33, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It's useful template and we can edit its content.--Sa.vakilian 14:07, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, per Soman and Mike Peel. This template links groups that have nothing in common, like the PLO and the Afghan Northern alliance. It should be turned into an article.Raoulduke47 22:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would certainly not call this template "well researched", but it is still a concept worth noting. The "Sunni" and "Shia" groups are obviously related to geographic locality so sorting the groups by country would be better. However, because of the current inflamitory nature of the template I would say delete. Recreate in a more NPOV way later if you prefer. M i c 09:44, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete, it is a POV fork created just for demonetizing Iranian government.--Pejman47 17:47, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Delete per Soman and Mike Peel, as well as Raoul. .V. [Talk|Email] 19:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, bad idea for a template, and incredibly bad precedent. What if we tried to do this for all governments? Many groups would have more templates than text! And as for calling it well-researched...pah, it doesn't even include the UN! There's probably hundreds of other groups that the IRI supports that aren't listed here. And then repeat for the other nearly-two-hundred nations on Earth....no! Bad idea. As Soman suggests, there might be a basis for an article in here, but NOT, for Vishnu's sake, a template! Xtifr tälk 19:18, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Xtifr above and Soman. An article about the subject might be justified (perhaps as an extension of a "Foreign policy of Iran" article, but not a template. -- Black Falcon 19:54, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Xtifr — if we maintain this template, then we should maintain a template for every other government as well, which is not appropriate. Claims such as these require meticulous sourcing. A template is not the appropriate place for that. --Iamunknown 19:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep
    • If the issue is the POV/content of the template, there are proper wiki channels to ensure NPOV.
    • If the issue is "What if we tried this for every government", what is the harm? The groups sponsored by various national governments have been of global political importance from the days of English Privateers to mondern day Sandinistas. We have templates on other important political, economic, and social issues (for many governments.) Why not this?
    • The groups listed all have large articles of their own.
    • Yes, the Sunni, Shia distinction is bizarre. So fix it -- that's why wiki is open edit.
    • The template is useful as it can lead a reader to other groups that he/she was unaware had affiliation with said government. Of course, if a group's inclusion to the template is contested, there are proper wiki channels to address it.
  • Djma12 22:21, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, so go find a NPOV, reliable, verifiable source that lists which countries support every other country, and then create a list of countries that support each country, not a template, because its going to need quite a few citations. --Iamunknown 20:02, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:PD-ES-Photo (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I am positive that this template is patently false. The citations justifying the 20-year copyright date are from the Argentinian government site, not the Spanish government site. Please read commons:Commons:Licensing#Argentina and commons:Commons:Licensing#Spain for more information. It was deleted at Wikimedia Commons for this same reason.
