The result of the debate was keep. Garion96 (talk) 17:28, 11 August 2008 (UTC) Redundant. All 3 of these articles link to each other anyway. — Dalejenkins | 22:02, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, what's that got to do with it? Dalejenkins | 23:33, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Unless you nominate the other Firstdoctorcompanions to Tenthdoctorcompanions as well, a lot; this template maintains symmetry, gives a consistent look-and-feel to the category and eases maintenance. It would make no sense to transclude templates from the other nine and put this one in-line, or to have a link template under companions for only 9 out of 10 doctors. It also reveals that the template holds timeline info (which is not clear from this single template as this doctor happened to have the same single companion throughout; comparison with others would make this clear) --Rogerb67 (talk) 04:04, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Reqstable (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Stable review version header (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template was used for stable version request, but since the process is dead, I'm nominating for deletion. Other templates used for this process were deleted, but I don't see anywhere that says why this one should be kept. Pie is good (Apple is the best) 16:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Non-free reduced (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Furd (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Deleting early versions of images is going to screw up the upload history, making it look as if the person who reduced the image is the original uploader. Further, the rationale used, CSD I5 (Unused unfree images) doesn't seem to make sense, as the old versions of images can't be used short of a direct link to the file on the upload server, and presumably the scaled down version is used in an article.

  • Comment This probably should be discussed on a project talk page. Even if we delete these templates, a lot of admins will still be under the impression that this is an ok thing to do. -- Ned Scott 08:25, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I don't see the problem here. Anyone can revert to an old version of an image, so it's only correct that we delete previous versions that don't meet fair use guidelines. (And yes, that does make them "unused unfree images"). We don't otherwise retain the upload history for deleted images, so why should this be any different? PC78 (talk) 11:56, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - It doesn't matter who appears to have uploaded the image. If it is fair use, the uploader doesn't own it anyway. Wikipedia shouldn't be hosting versions of the image too large to meet fair use criteria. Eliminating those large versions is the whole point of creating the smaller copy. -SCEhardT 15:35, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Green tickYStrong Keep If an image is not fair use, it should be deleted; if someone hadn't replaced it, it would need deleting anyway. If it doesn't meet WP:CSD#I5, it meets WP:CSD#I7, as the whole point of this template is it asserts the previous version was too big to meet fair use (doc updated appropriately). --Rogerb67 (talk) 03:01, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The nom raises a very valid concern. If this is kept we should probably require that it be noted in the text of the description about who originally uploaded it, pending some other technical means of tracking the original uploader. -- Ned Scott 09:01, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Per SCEhardt, I don't think this is a valid concern. These are copyrighted images, they aren't owned by the uploader, so if the original revision is deleted it doesn't really matter who contributed it. That said, while this information is removed from the "File history" on an image page, I believe it is still retained in the "Revision history". PC78 (talk) 11:15, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Also by clicking on history and then "View logs for this page" on the image page you can still see the upload log entries for deleted versions if you rely need to know who uploaded the first version. --Sherool (talk) 14:34, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I will concede that the current system probably causes a fair amount of aggravation in regards to deletion notifications; the person who resized the image ends up getting the notifications rather than the original uploader (who probably has more of an interest in the image). This might be fixed by having the bots look at the page history, although I'm not sure how they would know whether the earliest entry is related to the current image or simply a previously deleted image with the same name. -SCEhardT 02:25, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The nominator's rationale for deleting the template is not a very good one. The template serves its purpose, and you can still see who originally uploaded the image by looking at the "history" tab, just like on any other page. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 00:31, 5 August 2008 (UTC))[reply]
  • Keep per Ibaranoff24 and PC78. As an aside I used to do quite a lot of these deletions and always felt that it would be nice if re-uploaders added a little thing about who'd originally uploaded the image in their upload comment, in case people can't be bothered looking into the history - but I don't feel too strongly about it. :) ~ Riana 16:02, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep- on a fair use image, the upload history is not required for attribution reasons (it is in the text, but the text history isn't being deleted). There is no reason for us to be storing high resolution images on our servers. J Milburn (talk) 09:44, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
