Unused template. See Wikipedia talk:Star essays. DexDor (talk) 19:41, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

delete or move to a subpage of Wikipedia:Star essays and mark as historical. Frietjes (talk) 22:48, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Historical template of no current usage that doesn't reflect current standards. No problem substituting this on the historical page. SFB 13:02, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; a proposal that never got off the ground need not have its template marked as historical. Historical assumes that it was once used a bit. As it is, this is obscure enough that I assumed it to be a navbox for essays related to Wikipedia:Notability (astronomical objects). Nyttend (talk) 19:37, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Mark historical and move to a subpage of Wikipedia:Star essays. Since that page still exists, this should be retained, and substituting it on there while retaining it in its original form as historical seems off. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 23:41, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Films and television series about Aboriginal Australia (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

There is nothing in the Indigenous Australian project of the Larger Australian project - that shows any discussion of the usage of the term 'Aboriginal Australia' is in any way an acceptable phrase as far as the media series - or anywhere else - discussion is needed before departing from the accepted terms as found at the project satusuro 08:37, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Apology - this is a suggested change to 'Films and television series about Indigenous Australians satusuro 01:15, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I think the tempate itself is relevant, but the language or terms used could be improved if deemed necessary Whats new? (talk) 10:32, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I think it can be useful.--333 -blue 13:39, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Despite the name of the template, Aboriginal Australians is what the title bar says. What is wrong with that? Secondarywaltz (talk) 00:43, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
comment - Indigenous Australian is the accepted term and phrase - the phrase here is not commonly used in articles, the main project, or most of Australian project materials about first australians - the templates relevance or usefulness is not what is being questioned - the terminology is inconsistent with the rest of the related projects satusuro 01:13, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- If that is all you're worried about, why did you not just move it? Secondarywaltz (talk) 01:24, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - I presume because there has been a tendency of editors over recent weeks to substitute Aboriginal for Indigenous and use the term as racial loaded commentary about Indigenous subjects. Gnangarra 01:45, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - If you had said all this I would not have interfered. I am out of this political discussion. Secondarywaltz (talk) 01:51, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
for now rename - to Films and television series about Indigenous Australian as the subject matter is broader than the title indicates. The template isnt just about the final product nor does it cover the production industry appropriately within context and needs a complete rethink of purpose. Gnan garra 01:45, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This template has been created to make it easy for readers to find films and/or television shows about Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and is in no way political. I have now renamed it to include Torres Strait Islanders, as it does indeed include film/television relating to Torres Strait Islanders, and I would like to thank other fellow wikipedians for pointing out this unfortunate omission. GangGangQuokka2 (talk) 15:10, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - What part of discussion don't you understand? Moving prematurely is out of line. Secondarywaltz (talk) 16:01, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - The moved to article is nonsensical as well Template:Films and television series about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians it should be to Template:Films and television series about Indigenous Australians as per the title of the primary topic Indigenous Australians or at the expanded descriptive of Template:Films and television series about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Gnan garra 08:41, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Only has one link in it, which currently is a dab page. This template isn't useful. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 00:15, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: the link in the navbox (~~name~~) is a disambiguation page, and I don't know it means what, I hope the template creator can give me some examples.--333 -blue 09:28, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
