[edit]
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was delete, too large of a scope for a navigation template (if it were expanded to complete coverage), and no other nationality-based musical artist templates. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 02:59, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:South Korean music artists (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template lists every music group and artist based in South Korea. I'm not aware of any precedent of templates listing all groups and artists in one template based on nationality. Too broad to be of any useful navigation. — ξxplicit 23:45, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete -- this is the 3rd or 4th navbox on most of these articles. It doesn't add anything really useful (other than nationalistic puffery) and just adds navbox clutter. -- Selket Talk 15:50, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Let's not be rude by insulting the beautiful link between a national culture and its music that is produced by it. The artists in SK are not too many and so you cannot say that the topic is broad. And also, this template will (1) help in finding Korean-language singers, (2) help discover singers from the nation of South Korea, (3) help us navigate in finding other people from the same music genre. All of which is a need in a vast modern encyclopedia like this one. Farjad0322(talk|sign|contribs) 21:44, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete, this is what categories are for. Frietjes (talk) 15:34, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Stock characters (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template was nominated by DreamGuy (talk · contribs) on June 30, but it was never listed (or possibly removed out of process, but I saw no evidence of such). I'm not too concerned with whether it's deleted, though it seems rather random to me. szyslak (t) 10:46, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It's a handy reference template of the different tropes of characters that exist for writers to use. To delete this template would be doing a disservice to the writers who use it for character reference. Creativity-II (talk) 11:12, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Reasonable navbox for the topic, although "Jewish Mother stereotype" might raise some issues. -- Selket Talk 15:49, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Argh. No. Completely arbitrary list of tropes which would be better developed on That Other Wiki. I suspect that if anyone had the gumption to nominate most of those articles for deletion (which is the correct thing to do) then this wouldn't navigate very many articles at all. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 09:05, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Many of the microstubs (eg Archimime) have 1 or 2 references. It might be ideal to merge the content in those, into List of stock characters. That will improve the list article, and focus the template, and rescue the RS content from the microstubs without having to worry about AFD/prod. So, Cleanup. Merge micro-content. (struck July 23) -- Quiddity (talk) 02:03, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Update: It didn't go as far as I hoped. I merged these articles into the main list - Archimime, Farmer's daughter (character), Grande dame, Romantic interest, Tarzanesque - but the rest are too extensive to fit well. At this point, the only real options to head towards are either, (1) strict inclusion criteria (suggestions?), (2) just add all the articles in Category:Stock characters. (or (3) delete, but that's going to be difficult to find consensus for in this round). [We really need a better evolution of seealso/category/navtemplate for these situations :/ ] -- Quiddity (talk) 07:33, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment we have an article on it Stock character, so seems like there can be a template for it. -- 76.65.131.160 (talk) 11:38, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, but Cleanup. In general, "All articles within the template relate to a single, coherent subject" and "The subject of the template is mentioned in every article." It's just that the Miscellaneous section needs to be sorted into a few more groups and possibly have a few articles removed. Pokedigi (talk) 01:15, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Trinidad and Tobago (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. DH85868993 (talk) 08:12, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No - I'm quite happy for there to be a list of all the country templates; but as far as I can tell, Trinidad and Tobago is the only country which has its own "personal" list (of 1). Also note that Wikipedia:Inline templates linking country articles doesn't reference {{Trinidad and Tobago}} - it references {{TTO}} and {{TRI}}. DH85868993 (talk) 03:32, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment if you joined, wouldn't you remove the template, or if you didn't join as well? Would this also be susbted? -- 76.65.131.160 (talk) 09:58, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment When I nominated this template for deletion, it looked like this:

All you have to do to become a member of this project is cut and paste:

{{inclusionist}}

...to your user page.

and it wasn't clear to me what "this project" was. Since then, it's been updated to look like this:

All you have to do to become a member of this project is cut and paste:

{{inclusionist}}

...to your user page.

WikiProject Inclusion

so "this project" obviously refers to WikiProject Inclusion. DH85868993 (talk) 11:48, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
