Template:Top ten tennis players (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template is similar to the ones the golfer ones are based upon, and if it is consensus to delete the golf ones it should be the same for this tennis one to be deleted!98.240.44.215 (talk) 18:46, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not really sure how those apply here, can you elaborate? Morhange (talk) 07:24, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I would think it should be deleted? Why should it be kept!88.208.222.14 (talk) 03:05, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I believe it should be kept because it provides up-to-date information on who is ranked where in the tennis world. There is not a single article on Wikipedia that provides all of this information on all four different ranking lists. There is no article (that I can find anyway) that even lists the doubles rankings for men or women, and there isn't an article that lists the men's and women's singles list in one article. I think the template is fine. Morhange (talk) 23:45, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, JPG-GR (talk) 19:29, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - It's not really a "news" item subject to "rapid change." It changes once a week, every Monday morning and the ATP singles Rankings page changes right along with it. Morhange (talk) 05:11, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Seeing as the player articles are update as often, should they therefore be deleted? Once a week changes are not rapid. Alan16 (talk) 20:29, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The nominator is just being WP:Pointy. ShondaLear (talk) 01:37, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep No reason for delete it. If you want to delete it, delete everything that updates like sports, songs music charts performance and reality show updates. that is what the people that want to delete it is saying. wikipedia is a place now were poeple can find facts rather than deleting this cancel the accounts of popel that are putting things that are not true on some wikipedia profiles.

  • Delete. Any template that requires constant moving in and out of articles isn't very stable. And one a week here with articles going on for years without edits is very rapid. Templates should be for things that have been done and are set about a person, not details that constantly change. Also, why only top ten? The article lists twenty and the website lists 100. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 22:42, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There isn't really much constant moving with this template aside from the bottom two positions. The top 5 usually remains pretty consistent in men's, and the template only requires removal or additional once a week and only in a couple articles. And the top ten is usually the premier location for where a player wants to be. You see articles all the time about so-and-so entering the top ten for the first time. Morhange (talk) 04:39, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In fact, I just updated it with the new rankings and of all 41 people currently listed in the template, with the new rankings released this week, I only needed to remove it from two pages and add it to one. Morhange (talk)
Still, a template that requires constant moving isn't really stable. Just because it's only a few changes doesn't mean it's a good idea. For our articles to be rated highly, we want them to be stable. Why make templates that counter that? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:49, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A series of article talk banners related to Wikipedia:WikiProject Los Angeles. All of which do not add actual task forces or any maintenance categories and appear to serve as recruitment efforts. Several had fair use logos which were removed. Templates don't appear to add much aside from recruitment efforts on article talks. I've already proposed the entire project for conversion into a task force of Wikipedia:WikiProject California and this is just part of the cleanup for that merge.

Template:Cite GG01 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

We don't need specialized versions of template:cite book. And, yes, while using q instead of quote and pp instead of pages seems like a cool idea if you want to, that doesn't mean you get to make your own template with your own syntax for fun. Ricky81682 (talk) 06:09, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
