Template:Francis

[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 Keep. Looks like the template has reached a viable size, and it has already been renamed to {{Pope Francis}}. Favonian (talk) 22:18, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Francis (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

One article. No need for its own navigational box which is for article collection. 86.40.200.32 (talk) 22:13, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It will be filled in quickly, I'd assume. Let's give it a day to see what happens. Randy Kryn 23:37, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This is mere speculation. You have no way of knowing that and have offered nothing to the contrary. The fact remains there is only one article. That article can grow and grow and grow to kingdom come but it does not make it a collection of articles. --86.40.200.32 (talk) 02:00, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
But by what? And no, it is not obvious. He may be pope but what other articles are there apart from the conclave? It is completely unnecessary until there is more information than there is now, if there is more information than there is now, if there are multiple pages. Its existence goes against everything at Wikipedia:Navigation templates. If we're going to do that we can just create these things for everyone and anyone and say we'll fill them out later. These templates are reserved for collections of articles, not just for any old someone who is famous, not automatically awarded because someone is famous. --86.40.200.32 (talk) 01:57, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The template could easily be filled up over time. Articles for cardinals he will create, encyclicals he will write, foreign trips he will take, to give some examples, would all go there. Also, it is only a matter of time before a separate article on his early life (such as with Benedict XVI) is created, so that would go there as well. I vote to keep. User:Compy90
  • Yes but again, this does not apply right now. There is simply no need for a template while there exists only one article to put on it. You mention foreign trips and encyclicals - but he may not even take (m/any) foreign trips or write anything. He is nearly 77, about the same age as his predecessor was. In all of his predecessor's years there are only specific articles devoted to two trips - UK and US. Your response is based entirely on guesswork and predicting the future. --86.40.200.32 (talk) 03:52, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Layers of irony here. This wasn't anonymous—just unsigned. Editors forget to sign their posts all the time. So as you put it, AGF. --BDD (talk) 22:00, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
AGF what and how? There was no name. That sounds anonymous to me - a lot more anonymous than an IP. It was an anti-IP comment, and one without a signature at that. I'm sick to death of hearing snide remarks about IP editors. They have no place here. It would be just as easy to cause the trouble (referred to by the anonymous person above) while using a user name. In fact it would be much easier since the individual with the user name would have access to more pages. --86.40.200.82 (talk) 22:11, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Assume good faith that the editor merely forgot his signature, not that he was trying to remain anonymous. Indeed, he would've been foolish to do the latter, not just because he'd look like a hypocrite but because it was incredibly to easy to check the page history to ascertain who posted it. See Help:Page history. --BDD (talk) 22:40, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unused template. Was originally created for use on {{strong}}'s documentation subpage, but that's now been edited away for a more relevant link (by me). It seems unlikely that this template will see use. — Hex (❝?!❞) 10:12, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Steven Shane McDonald (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Basically, just a combination of two band templates {{Off!}} and {{Redd Kross}}. Since one of these would/should be on each one of the linked articles, they already pass WP:ANOEP and don't need a second navbox for an individual band member. By going to Steven Shane McDonald, one can link to any of the his bands or their albums because it will be the one where having both navboxes would make sense. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 08:37, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Anyway, Jax, if you want to link these articles, the best way would be to do so in prose; failing that, you could make a see also section. --BDD (talk) 02:17, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unused expect in their respective album articles, which already show the track list. Many of these are quite lacking in terms of navigational ability, but in the end, the template {{Queen singles}} already exists and seems to be the preferred use for navigation between Queen songs.

The result of the discussion was delete, fork of {{Isa}}. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 03:12, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:'Isa (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This is a sidebar about Jesus in Islam, just like Template:Isa. Both were created by the same user. Up until this revision the template Isa was remarkably similar to this present template. It was changed after a discussion to its present form, then a version similar to the old one was restored. This change was reverted as well, and the template "'Isa" was created a couple of weeks later. Overall, it seems like a content fork created to go against consensus. If that's the case, it should be deleted. eh bien mon prince (talk) 07:43, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Consensus! actually the thing is that there was no consensus and the only reason the opponent provides at the Template talk:Isa is the use of an infobox in a template. Similar to the one you made at Template:Rashidun Caliphs as here and i just dont get the point why an infobox cannot be used as a template is there a hard and fast policy that states not to use it or what? which i am unaware of. The purpose of this template is to serve as an infobox as well as a template.But prior to this at Template talk:Isa there was a forced opinion not to use it without pointing to any policy that states not to use it as here, here here and even on the talk page of "Isa" i don't find any justified point that states not to use of template as per this policy other then the point that it have infobox content. --Ibrahim ebi (talk) 21:44, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not trying to take part into that discussion or revive it. The matter here is different: is this template a POVFORK? If it is, it should be deleted, period.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 22:17, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
POV how come it can be a POV if i have provided the sources earlier as well the only negating point is that it hold an infobox into it. --Ibrahim ebi (talk) 22:57, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ibrahim, I'm confused. You created both of these templates, and both fairly recently. They're clearly duplicates, so they should be merged, probably under the more intuitive name {{Isa}}, and the other name redirected. What's going on here? --BDD (talk) 18:55, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The point is that this template has links that are being categorized and i have talked about it earlier on the Template talk:Isa for using links only not the content and the editors suggested that if it holds links then it is fine to use but now eh bien mon prince suggest removal of the categorization and use of links only without any customization. I think we can make a policy at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy) for not using such categorization as in this template if there is no prior one. --Ibrahim ebi (talk) 15:59, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template of dubious notability, many of the teams were deleted in AFD, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anzan Izeh F.C. one example with the rest prime candidates for deletion, everything else in that template is rather off-topic here Delete Secret account 03:46, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom, notability at this level is not automatic as has been shown from the deletion at AfD of dozens of club articles, this template is seemingly encouraging the re-creation of aforementioned unsuitable content. C679 06:11, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Like the NCAA tourney navboxes below, I'm nominating this on WP:ATC and WP:NENAN. I'd also like to mention there is another open TfD about a very similar navbox that can be found here. Jrcla2 (talk) 02:47, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Jrcla2. Jweiss11 (talk) 03:54, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There has been an understanding, if not a formal consensus, that the college sports Wikiprojects will not create conference championship navboxes, choosing instead to emphasize national championship navboxes. My "delete" !vote here is a vote to sustain that understanding, in conformance with Jrcla's comments above. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 01:11, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh boy, March Madness rolls around and now everybody wants to start creating templates. My official reason is WP:ATC with a healthy side of WP:NENAN. The second and third navboxes aren't even being used and look like sandbox drafts if anything. Some editors are just a little too gung-ho with these sorts of creations. Jrcla2 (talk) 02:28, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

None of these navboxes are needed. I already deleted them from all the pages the creator put them on and left them a message on his/her page. The category for the tournament participants is enough, no need for a navbox to.Bsuorangecrush (talk) 02:45, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all. Wikiproject College Basketball creates and maintains extensive article coverage of the NCAA basketball tournament, and the project has chosen not to create annual NCAA templates with 68 team links to the current tournament participants. Sixty-eight alphabetical team links, with no organization or subdivision, is marginally useful for reader navigation at best. No further justification for deleting this template is necessary, however, beyond the consensus of WP:CBB editors that there are better navigation systems for the NCAA tournament than templates of this design.
