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

Template broken by changes in how wikimedia handles "=" in parameters, so template no longer works. Withdraw delete request if someone knows of a way to fix this template, but AFAIK there's no way to do that. — System86 (talk) 23:42, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - not only can I see no way of fixing this [although I only had a cursory look], but the template is deprecated and orphaned. I fail to see where this template would be useful, and any possible uses can probably be coded in manually unless they require the function across many pages.

Template:Resolved comments (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This template is redundant to {{Resolved}} and {{hide}}, but without their functionality. It does not include the possibility of a signature and timestamp being shown in the cap. It is being used disruptively throughout WP:FAC and WP:FLC to hide comments without the benefit of a signature and timestamp, so it's difficult to determine who capped the comments. The other templates (Resolved and Hide) serve the purpose of capping off resolved comments, while including a signature and date/time to show who capped them and when. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:01, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • It will have no effect on FAC archives, as I remove this template whenever it occurs. We can't have unsigned hiding of comments at FAC, and I made that clear early on, and it has always been part of the WP:FAC instructions that caps must be signed. Since there are very few editors using this template, in spite of these issues being highlighted from the moment the script was created, they should correct their unsigned caps at FLC themselves. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:16, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Delete It seems my ignorance regarding the use of this template has stimulated this deletion debate, but I wonder why this couldn't be fixed by changing the template. I have some moderate skill with parser functions and template creation, this could easily be fixed with five minutes of work. Although I have no idea how it will affect the archives, which is another issue that affects the deletion of this template. --ErgoSum88 (talk) 16:10, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I checked what links to the rs template and there are so few that any pages affected by deletion of this template could easily be fixed without bot intervention if anyone really wanted to do so. --ErgoSum88 (talk) 16:59, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's currently used in two Roads peer reviews, four Featured list reviews, and one Portal review, by only a couple of editors.[1] Thankfully, it hasn't done too much damage, and deleting it won't wreak havoc. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:05, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Irish songs (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

previous nom as per the reasons listed as the previous nom and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of patriotic songs Gnevin (talk) 09:26, 15 May 2008 (UTC) This has been listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Ireland Gnevin (talk) 09:31, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong delete per nom. Like the recently deleted list, this template is an arbitrary collection with no clear inclusion criteria. If it's just a list of notable songs from Ireland (as the template name suggests) then this template is deeply skewed towards songs celebtrating nationalism or republicanism, and most of it looks like a list culled from songs recorded by republican band The Wolfe Tones. If the template title "Patriotic music of Ireland" is the intent, then it's deeply POV: songs such as Say Hello to the Provos and Little Armalite are in praise of the Provisional IRA, which is a paramilitary organisation banned by the Irish government, and since the majority of Irish people who don't support the Provisional IRA, it's deeply partisan to describe such songs as "patriotic" (supporters of the Provisional IRA would indeed describe them that way, but that's a minority view) — while U2's very popular song Sunday Bloody Sunday (written from a very different perspective) has just as great a claim to be regarded as "patriotic", and so do the apolitical The Bells of Shandon and Banks of my own lovely Lee.
    I can't see any definition of "patriotic" which isn't POV in Ireland, and whatever the inclusion criteria, I can't see any way of avoiding a list defined that way from becoming a highly POV form of original research. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:13, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and BrownHairedGirl. Appears to be an arbitrary collection, with no clear inclusion criteria, and therefore services no purpose as a navigation aid. (Personally I can see no value or reason for "grouping" a song like The Sash with a song like Oró Sé do Bheatha 'Bhaile. It's akin to creating a template called "American songs" and grouping Stars and Stripes Forever with I've Been Working on the Railroad.) In short, it's pointless. Guliolopez (talk) 09:11, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per BrownHairedGirl and my reason in the previous nomination: the template inherently requires original interpretation, as one cannot both objectively and non-arbitrarily judge whether a song is 'patriotic', since the meaning of the term itself is ambiguous. –Black Falcon (Talk) 23:10, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete. Seems redundant. We have both <references/> and {{reflist}} if people want different sizes. FYI, the template was previously nominated here. — Rockfang (talk) 07:54, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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

Has a couple of problems: Supposedly this should be used to tag articles with too many tags: of course, this adds yet another tag to a page with too many tags already, worsening the problem it's supposed to solve. Also, as the template itself says, there's already a template used for consolidating issue tags: {{articleissues}}. If you're going to spend the time to use this template, you might as well spend the extra 2 seconds to use {{articleissues}}.— Aervanath's signature is boring 03:34, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete poorly named template for films linked only by a single actor. We have long since estaglished that it is impractical to create performer by performance templates for every actor. — Doczilla STOMP! 02:32, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Good Liar Barnstar (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Not sure how to categorize this—a WP:HOAX, a violation of WP:POINT—but it tries to reward people for breaking Wikipedia guidelines. The author even rewarded himself with the award. Anyway, this one doesn't pass the "smell test" and I hope others will weigh in. — Eustress (talk) 02:03, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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

Deprecated image license tag that has now been removed from all usages. The associated Category:LOC images needing copyright status check can also be deleted. Kelly hi! 23:34, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Does this interact at all with the LOC page at Commons here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:LOC_images_needing_copyright_status_check ? Guroadrunner (talk) 02:29, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, other than the fact that both were the result of the PD-LOC template being deprecated both here and at Commons. Kelly hi! 02:45, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is the same template as Template:Shia. So one of them should be deleted. . BigDevil Talk 20:48, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
