Template:Sandeep Rana (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This was already deleted at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2020 December 10#Template:Sandeep Rana, but has reappeared. It appears to be an attempt to create an article in the form of a template. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 21:14, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Arne operas (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Hides the image on mobile (the image should be retained in the articles when the template is removed). Readers would be better served by a horizontal navbox, at the foot of articles. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:17, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Becomes an excuse not to have a specialized lead image; redundant to the horizontal template. Aza24 (talk) 22:08, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – which horizontal template? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 01:40, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - as noted there does not currently appear to be a feasible replacement, and vertical navboxes are a permitted alternative to horizontal generally. Concerns around image placement/selection can be addressed by means other than deletion. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:09, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- A replacement navbox can be created once there is consensus to delete this template. What is "permitted" is immaterial; what matters is what best serves our readers. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:52, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - There's no evidence readers would be any better served by a theoretical replacement than by the template that already exists. Nikkimaria (talk) 16:35, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Albinoni operas (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Only three transclusions. Fails WP:NENAN. Hides the image on mobile (the image should be retained in the articles when the template is removed).

Keep - as noted there does not currently appear to be a feasible replacement, and vertical navboxes are a permitted alternative to horizontal generally. Given the scope of the template the number of transclusions makes complete sense. Concerns around image placement/selection can be addressed by means other than deletion. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:09, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- A replacement navbox culld be created once there is consensus to delete this template; however, since the "scope of the template" is three articles, this fails WP:NEANN, as stated. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:41, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    - Not in the least "cart before horse" - we regularly decide such things at TfD. WP:NENAN is an essay that describes the regular consensus about navboxes at TfD. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:49, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  - As we don't have any evidence on what a reader may prefer, only what we as individuals prefer, we can't really assert that one is better for readers than the other. That's not a strong rationale to create a new navbox, that we know ahead of time would overlap with this one. Nikkimaria (talk) 21:27, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is information generally given in infoboxes not navboxes. Please note that we have issues with Japanese based users adding promotional content to these articles, and thus there may also be COI issues in play here. BilCat (talk) 03:25, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This info is already covered in the navbox. Also, this template isn't used in the Swift Xi article. Also, the related template Template:Swift Engineering has problems and could use condensing. –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:11, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Module:College color (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Module:Sports color (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Module:College color with Module:Sports color.
The two modules has similar functions. Module:College color/data should moved to Module:Sports color/NCAA or Module:Sports color/college and the main functions can du the Module:Sports color Malo95 (talk) 14:43, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 19:42, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom. I would suggest to move it to Module:Sports color/college as there are non-NCAA (non-US) team articles using the module. – McVahl (talk) 05:08, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not familiar enough with the functionality to comment, but I do know that college color is used for some colleges that don't have sports teams or whose sports teams are a different color than the color used for the college itself in non-athletic places (in which case it's a bit inconsistent). I'd really prefer this be handled by Wikidata, as the giant data table is extremely unwieldy and this is exactly the sort of thing Wikidata is set up for, but unfortunately that hasn't gotten traction yet. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 21:01, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Mainly in deference to the very high usage of both modules, more comments and scrutiny would be a good idea.

Keep. Sdkb's point about colleges whose team colors are different than the school colors would need to be resolved before I could support a merge. I think this would add to the confusion. --Bsherr (talk) 17:44, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Current Cabinet of Greece (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Massive in size, full of red links. It features information that belongs to a separate article; i.e. Government of Greece. Since its usage is disputed and taking into consideration the fact that most of the ministers included have not separate articles in en.wikipedia, I nominate it for deletion. --Rodamanth (talk) 13:18, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Trim. I think deleting "Alternate Ministers" and "Deputy Ministers" would get this template's size and red links under control. Also, I don't think the main contributors were notified, so pinging @ΘΕΟΔΩΡΟΣ, Nizolan, and SoSivr:. The last two look inactive, but the first person edited a week ago. –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:08, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
