The result of the discussion was Delete, better served by a category, or by more specific (and smaller) templates, since all concerts with WP articles are notable. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 00:55, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Notable Concerts (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The scope of this template is ostensibly all "notable popular music concerts and festivals". As you can tell from looking at Category:Music festivals and Category:Concerts, the number of articles this scope covers is in the hundreds. I propose that there is an upper limit on the number of articles a navigational template can have before it stops being a useful resource for readers, and that if the scope of {{Notable Concerts}} were consistently applied, this template would far exceed it. I don't think the scope can be narrowed to "only the most notable of concerts" in a way that isn't arbitrary or subjective. Rather, the best thing to do with this is to split it into smaller templates of different scope, perhaps based on geography, era, activity status, music genre or similar factors, but I'm open to suggestions. Please feel free to shout if this is the wrong forum, but proposed splits don't seem to be covered by the guidelines above. Skomorokh 16:46, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redundant, superseded by {{16TeamBracket-Compact-NoSeeds-Byes}}. Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 09:29, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, didn't realize {{16TeamBracket-Compact-NoSeeds-Byes}} actually supported seeds. Adanner —Preceding undated comment added 02:35, 3 June 2011 (UTC).[reply]
