  • Merge - While we could keep both navboxes as they are and avoid the T3 issue by creating a separate template for the sub-boxes that can be transcluded in both, I don't really see the point in having a separate navbox just for the food-related templates.

  • Merge - Would better be part of the larger template. I would like {{Subst: Dobos Torte}} to be appear as an alternative when one clicks on wikilove. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:23, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Bibliographies of film directors (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Not a suitable topic for a navbox. Fails all of the five points at Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates#Navigation templates, and is better suited to a category. --Rob Sinden (talk) 15:11, 21 February 2014 (UTC) Rob Sinden (talk) 15:11, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep

Let me see:

  1. All articles within a template relate to a single, coherent subject. -Bibliography, world cinema
  2. The subject of the template should be mentioned in every article. -list of books yup
  3. The articles should refer to each other, to a reasonable extent. -they're related
  4. There should be a Wikipedia article on the subject of the template. -film director
  5. You would want to list many of these articles in the See also sections of the articles. -Yup, suitable for linking at the bottom of the relative articles on the biographies.

Clearly ticks all 5 boxes or at least will if you'd give me a few hours to actually work on it, what are you talking about? This basically comes down to WP:I DON'T LIKE IT. Bad faith nom nominated just 2 hours after creation without even giving me a chance to develop it. It's intended to be constructive and I'm sure others here would agree with me. There's unlikely to be many more entries in it as it's for directors who really have a wealth of material. It's convenient to browse by cinema, which is the whole point of nav boxes in the first place. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:16, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all bad faith. It's just too broad a topic for a navbox. We don't have {{Filmographies of film directors}} or {{Bibliographies of authors}} for the same reason. Or {{Biopics about composers}}, etc, etc. Perfectly acceptable for a category, but not a suitable navbox subject. --Rob Sinden (talk) 15:19, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
How is it too broad?? It's intended as a nav guide for quick reference on books about film directors for people looking for books on them. Its convenient, that's the whole point of navboxes, otherwise you could argue they're all redundant because of categories. Half an hour in and you're already being a meddlesome little turd. There's not likely to be a huge general number like filmographies or authors, books about filmmakers are generally a fairly niche topic.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:21, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)Yeah, that's where categories are useful. If you look at the guideline discussing the pros and cons of categories, lists and templates, you'll see that this fails all of the points of good templates. --Rob Sinden (talk) 15:26, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is still incredibly annoying for you to do this so soon after creation Rob. Common sense tells me that this is constructive and useful to begin building a decent bibliography by director.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:27, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I don't think it's suitable and it shouldn't have been created, for the reasons stated based on the guideline for navboxes. --Rob Sinden (talk) 15:29, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)It's not about the number of links, it's about the suitability of a topic for a navbox. Anyway, let's see what others think... --Rob Sinden (talk) 15:29, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, your judgement has frequently shown to be wrong and mean little on here Rob so it doesn't matter what you think.The fact is that these are instantly accessible and likely to be what people might be looking for in research material.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:31, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Umm - WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF. And enough with the weasel words about my judgement, we simply don't agree here. --Rob Sinden (talk) 15:33, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You're seriously telling me to assume good faith????♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:47, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I'm a bit bemused by your hostility - you seem to be letting a previous disagreement (which I thought we'd called a truce on) bleed over to this discussion. I'm sorry I don't like your navbox, but as I've stated, it doesn't meed any of the criteria for a "good" navbox, and thus I believe it shouldn't be here. Which is why I brought it here to TfD to see what the consensus was on it. No need to take it personally. --Rob Sinden (talk) 15:52, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My concern above all is that again you can see I'm actively working hard on something and you're trying to disrupt progress. You keep disrupting a range of people whether it's User:Lady Lotus or whoever when they're in the middle of working on something, usually over red links. If you'd waited at least until I'd created all of the lists and were blue linked I wouldn't have minded so much. Why can't you just keep your thoughts to yourself once in while?♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:55, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever colour the links, this isn't a suitable navbox topic. And this discussion needs to be about the template - not me. --Rob Sinden (talk) 15:58, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And I don't recall any previous interaction with Lady Lotus, so I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve there. --Rob Sinden (talk) 16:32, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ah yes it was Montanabw wasn't it whose template you tried to delete..♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:13, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tentative keep - A look at the links suggests that those linked are those with numerous, numerous, numerous, books written about them. May be manageable, but not far enough into development to be sure of that. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:27, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think with some work, this table would do well for users, so many are notable directors. Maybe limit it to US and UK directors. But it would be nice to have a template for it. LADY LOTUS • TALK 16:42, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tentative keep: as per Crisco 1492. Best to let the template development run a bit further, rather than making a premature decision to get rid of it. - SchroCat (talk) 17:09, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:DONOTDEMOLISH. Give it time to be developed. The navbox is comfortably within the range of what a navbox can be about. Trout slap to the nominator. Montanabw(talk) 19:54, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Templates created by experienced editors who believe in good faith that they will perform a useful function should not be subjected to this sort of instant confrontation. Nobody can doubt Dr. Blofeld's good intentions in this case, especially as he's spent all day creating articles to ensure that the template is fully populated with blue-links. It seems to me that a navbox can provide degrees of categorisation (by nationality in this case), while retaining an overview, that is unavailable in our clunky category system; compare Category:Books about film directors with this template to see the difference. There's room for both navigational aids in our encyclopedia. --RexxS (talk) 21:03, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Yup I've created the first five of each for most. Given time I'll fill them all out like Stanley Kubrick bibliography. They're great for people wanting instant access to film director books I think, I'm sure anybody else who researches film here would find them useful. Now I really must get out of this place! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:07, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  1. All articles within a template relate to a single, coherent subject. - This is not a coherent subject. It just links similar lists.
  2. The subject of the template should be mentioned in every article. - Okay, give you that one, but it's easy to "this is a bibliography of a film director...".
  3. The articles should refer to each other, to a reasonable extent. - They do not refer to each other at all.
  4. There should be a Wikipedia article on the subject of the template. - List of bibliographies of film directors does not exist. There is no main article.
  5. You would want to list many of these articles in the See also sections of the articles. - You clearly would not want to do this. It would not be appropriate to link Roberto Rossellini bibliography, or the others in the "see also" section of Coen brothers bibliography.

The "made up criteria" can be found at Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates#Navigation templates. --Rob Sinden (talk) 11:37, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete template has the potential to become unusable big, as there is no limit in what is added to the template. Only the category Indian film directors contains 1003 links to directors. They can all be added to the article. The Americans have 3961 entries available for the template. Beside that, what makes is the common ground of these people except their jobtype? The Banner talk 12:06, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Even Raoul Walsh and Fred Zinnerman don't have enough books for bibliographies. There's a pretty limited number which have multiple books about them. Even Quentin Tarantino doesn't cut the mustard.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:15, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's a lot of what ifs. How many of those 3961 American directors are going to get multiple books written about their work? Only a handful. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 14:41, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Where is stated that the template only concerns directors with a book-form paper biography? The Banner talk 14:50, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Um, the person who nominated this for deletion would probably not want any statements to that effect in the navbox either. IF the navbox gets unweildy, the navbox links can direct to list articles and to categories, that's the beauty of a navbox, be nice to be able to hop around in the topic, one way or the other :-P Montanabw(talk) 17:21, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Assassin's Creed chronology (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

per WP:VG/MOS and WP:GAMECRUFT: in-universe information on how the series are chronologically set. Nothing that can't be explained in the main article of Assassin's Creed. Soetermans. T / C 14:19, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep I believe that this is helpful for users looking at a singular game in the series, so they know how it fits in with the rest of the storyline in a single glance, and gives them a shortcut to see the rest of the story. Think of shortcuts to programs on your computers. You could say, "Why not go into Program Files to find your program?" However, if you have a shortcut to the program on your desktop, it's just one click to open the program. ∫ A Y™ 18:47, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • note Hi, Daylon 124 (I can't make out your signature :P), thanks for reply. I appreciate your input, but we're not discussing templates in general (which are very helpful), but one based on in-universe information. Wikipedia is intended for a wide, general audience, not just people who are into Assassin's Creed. The template merely communicates how the games are chronologically set. It doesn't explain how they relate to each other, which characters are featured or even when the games take place. That is so much information, impossible to fit into one template. The main article is more suitable for that, to show the summarized plot of the whole series. Individual articles offer more detailed plot summaries. What also comes to mind, is that there is way more to the franchise than just the games. See Assassin's Creed#Other media: comics, novels and films, part of the chronology of the series and not mentioned in the template. If it comes to just the games, there is the general {{Assassin's Creed}} template that shows the games in what era they take place, with links to the real-world events. --Soetermans.
