No need for this as the "Add an [edit] link for the lead section of a page" gadget serves this purpose better. WOSlinker (talk) 18:22, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Withdrawn now that Declaration of Independence has an article. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 03:56, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Colt Ford (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

WP:TOOSOON, WP:NENAN. Links only three articles so far. Even the fourth album would still leave it a little short. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 18:13, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep

Colt Ford has:

  • 5 charted songs and 6 albums which includes:

- 4 studio albums,
- 1 EP, and
- 1 Live Album

Additionally, WP:NENAN requires five links in a navigation box. This navbox already has five links, should have a sixth in due time, but has the potential for 13 links. If it pleases the community, I will gladly start some stub articles about Ford. Thanks!--Jax 0677 (talk) 02:50, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I forgot that Colt co-owns Average Joe's, so the template does belong there — as opposed to say, putting the Brad Paisley navbox on the Arista Nashville article. Even so, the parent article doesn't count towards the unofficial 5-article limit of WP:NENAN, and I can't see the live album or EP being notable enough for their own pages.

  • Comment It does not say that the parent article does not count toward the 5 article minimum, and if it does, someone will need to show me that. Perhaps this is a discussion that needs to take place at the article talk page.
The purpose of having a navbox is to connect articles that would not otherwise be connected. That is exactly what this template does on three of the articles.
Declaration of Independence and/or the 5 charted songs would provide more than enough links.
I wish people would look at a topic to determine whether or not there are enough links to justify a template before they send it to AfD.--Jax 0677 (talk) 03:48, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I did. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 18:17, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And "Ride Through the Country (song)" makes six.--Jax 0677 (talk) 04:01, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Perma-stub. No way can that be fleshed out to a full article. Songs aren't usually notable unless they get Top 20 or higher on country, but some get buzz/reviews lower than that. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 18:17, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment TPH, I have now added an article for Declaration of Independence (album).
  1. This brings the total number of albums up to 7 (or 6 if we assume that the right people concede that "Ride Through the Country (song)" is not notable).
  2. Again, the articles do NOT ALL link to one another (if I am mistaken, please let me know). Assuming that we did link all of the articles within the article space, the articles would be so long that it would be more difficult to find the links without a navbox, which allows users to go directly from page to page without clicking through up to twice as many sites.
  3. Again, where does it say that the parent article does not count toward the minimum of 5 links?
  4. Country Is as Country Does and Live from the Suwannee River Jam have both charted. The former contains a DVD about the making of Ride Through the Country, and the latter contains "Mr. Goodtime" performed at the annual Suwannee River Jam at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park & Campground in Live Oak, Florida. I don't think we really want all six albums placed in the "Colt Ford" article.
  5. "Mr. Goodtime", "Chicken & Biscuits" and "Country Thang" have ALL charted, and per Wikipedia, ALL have music videos. This means that they are all notable, and that a significant amount of information CAN be written about their videos alone. WP:NSONGS says NOTHING about TOP 20, you used the word "usually", and it only needs to chart.
  6. I just added an article for Mr. Goodtime, so we are now up to 8 articles (barring deletion).--Jax 0677 (talk) 21:31, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
