Note: Notification of the existence of this TfD has been made at WikiProject Aviation and WikiProject Aircraft, within whose scope this template falls. - Ahunt (talk) 18:03, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: WP:NENAN is just an essay, not a policy. The template is useful to readers and helps organize the subject. The use of navigation templates like this to organize manufacturer's aircraft types is a consensus standard across many thousands of WikiProject Aircraft articles. A discussion to gain a new consensus on this has been started at WikiProject Aircraft. Rather than dealing with the piecemeal nomination of thousands of aircraft nav boxes please participate there to reach a consensus as to the best course of action. - Ahunt (talk) 18:03, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Consensus has to be reached here, not among WikiProject Aircraft. And you are talking about 735 navigation templates in the Category:Manufacturer-based aircraft navigational boxes. I assume most of them should reach the threshold of five relevant links. (Or at least, I hope so.) The Banner talk 20:44, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a standard and accepted navigational format for these articles. The claimed reason for deletion is a minor essay created by an editor who has a very controversial deletion-inclusion viewpoint and is not generally accepted by the community. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:40, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The template is useful to readers and helps organize the subject.

Template:Zenoah aircraft engines (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

WP:NENAN. Just two engines from a non-notable company (= there is no article about the company itself). This can be fixed with normal wikilinking without a navigation template. The Banner talk 01:34, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I wouldn't say that Zenoah is a non-notable company, their website states that they are the 'leading manufacturer of outdoor power equipment in Japan' which is entirely possible. Their two-stroke engines for RC use are very popular and used worldwide and they have a range of other products. The company is part of the Husqvarna AB group, Zenoah is one of two remaining redlinks mentioned there. I'm sure there are more aircraft engines, the articles just haven't been written yet. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 09:15, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, you can fix that. But the fact is that the template has just two useful links. For that, you do not need a navigation template. The Banner talk 10:56, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The conclusion that because there is no article on the company that the company is therefore non-notable is spurious. It is one of the world's leading two-stoke engine manufacturers, it is just that no article has yet been written. The company likewise has dozens of engine designs that just need adding to this template. Because a template or article is incomplete and could be expanded is no reason to delete it. - Ahunt (talk) 15:22, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

delete, only connects two articles, which is not enough in my opinion. Frietjes (talk) 18:04, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a standard and accepted navigational format for these articles. The claimed reason for deletion is a minor essay created by an editor who has a very controversial deletion-inclusion viewpoint and is not generally accepted by the community. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:38, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete with support for undeletion or recreation if more articles are created. Alternatively, the template could be moved to link the company's engines of different kinds, with arcraft engines as one section. —PC -XT + 03:19, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There is an ongoing discussion and this nomination is an open attempt at blackmail by one of the disputants, see this diff. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 16:01, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep These navboxes perform a useful function: the rationale that this is 'tidying up Wikipedia' is feeble in the extreme: no explanation of how deleting these navboxes will actually benefit Wikipedia has been advanced. Essentially, this is just a one-editor jihad based on WP:IDONTLIKEIT and an essay, not a policy.TheLongTone (talk) 17:51, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

This template seems to be a duplicate of Template:Sockpuppet in that it has the same functionality and use of that template (only the wording slightly differs). Gparyani (talk) 23:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment according to the documentation at "Sockpuppetry", it can be used instead of "Sockpuppet" and {{Sockpuppeteer}} as it says it can be used for the puppet and the master. -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 23:36, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 01:23, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

keep for now since it is in use, with well over 300 uses. however, I could see merging it with the other template, or replacing it, but it's not clear if that is feasible. Frietjes (talk) 18:13, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I suggest keeping Template:Sockpuppetry. Its t option for master/puppet could be used instead of the {{Sockpuppet}} & {{Sockpuppeteer}} templates with some tweaks. These could be converted into redirects, just a thought. -Fnlayson (talk) 18:54, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, with some interest in making this into a template to replace the others... —PC -XT + 00:41, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
