Only one of the template items has an article and it's proposed for deletion at the moment. ... discospinster talk 15:23, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Simply too big to be useful. Subjects such as this are not really good candidates for navigation boxes, as navigation between articles in this manner is unlikely. Best left for categories and lists. Deletion already had reasonable support when navbox was split, and navbox has grown since then. See Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2018 June 26#Template:Netflix original series. Also see similar discussion at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2018 April 27#Template:Netflix films and documentaries. --woodensuperman 15:17, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I've said this many times before, but studios should not have a navbox for everything they've produced or broadcast as while some might a handful, others, like TV studio/broadcaster ABC or film studios like MGM will have an enormous list which doesn't even serve any purpose as people reading about a 2019 TV series won't care about a series from the 1950s (or even from 2 years ago). These lists should be exactly that - list articles. I'd also support the deletion of the other templates in the Netflix set. --Gonnym (talk) 16:03, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep If it's too big, then split it, don't simply delete it. I personally think that simply deleting content is the disruptive path to go, not the constructive way. We are here to build an encyclopedia, not destroy it. This template itself came from a split from Template:Netflix original series, which it originally had 278 articles linked in its final state pre-split, where it then created the five separate templates (Template:Netflix original current series, Template:Netflix original continuation series, Template:Netflix original ended series, Template:Netflix specials, Template:Netflix original upcoming series). This can be seen from the first link discussion, where there was clearly no consensus to delete it but a firm consensus to split it, so clearly a statement that there was "reasonable support" to do so is false.
The situation is identical here; the template currently links 207 articles (about 75% of the original template). There is also no reasonable reason to delete the other Netflix templates other than for personal reasons and views. I therefore propose a split of this template by year; split the template into 2016 and before, and then by yearly releases, providing the same format in four smaller and more manageable templates. -- /Alex/21 03:56, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think that 5 calls for delete out of the 12 !votes could easily be considered "reasonable support" (the same number as split, as it happens). Note the statement by the closer: "After the split occurs there is no prejudice against nomination of the template(s) for deletion, mostly based on recent consensus to delete similar templates and the (completely valid) "delete" arguments against this type of template". To split this navbox by year is a ridiculous suggestion - this reduces further the little navigation benefit there currently is. What are the chances that someone wants to use a navbox to navigate between all the Netflix shows that premiered in a certain year? This is functionality for a category or a list, not a navbox. --woodensuperman 08:59, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You think, yes. You know, no. If there was "reasonable support" to delete it, it would have been deleted. It was not. A comment above was people reading about a 2019 TV series won't care about a series from the 1950s. The proposed suggestion fixes this issue. Again, I suggest that you should always look for the constructive path: We are here to build an encyclopedia, not destroy it. My !vote remains thus, and will not be changed, as I see no citings of policies that would directly prevent the creation of such templates. -- /Alex/21 10:34, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, it would have been deleted if there was consensus to delete. That doesn't mean that there wasn't reasonable support for the deletion, which is why the closer mentioned the possibility of a re-nom in the lede. And yes, we are here to build an encyclopedia: deletion of useless navbox clutter is constructive and supports that aim. --woodensuperman 10:50, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Just commenting on I personally think that simply deleting content is the disruptive path to go, not the constructive way. We are here to build an encyclopedia, not destroy it - this isn't content, it's a tool. No actual content would be lost from its deletion. --Gonnym (talk) 22:12, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Distinguished Contribution in Mass Spectrometry Award has been renamed in honour of John B. Fenn. However, instead of renaming (moving) the existing Template:Recipients of the Distinguished Contribution in Mass Spectrometry Award, a wikipedian has created a new template. In my view this creates confusion and double work. I think the new template "Recipients of the John B. Fenn Award for a Distinguished Contribution in Mass Spectrometry" should be deleted and the old template "Recipients of the Distinguished Contribution in Mass Spectrometry Award" renamed (moved) (the new name "Recipients of the John B. Fenn Award for a Distinguished Contribution in Mass Spectrometry" is correct), because most recipients have a link to this (older) template. Ileresolu (talk) 08:09, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The template is very well accommodated in Template:Byomkesh Bakshi already. Duplication is not needed and hence should be deleted. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 06:53, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
