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

Only used at one article and the content is fairly generic despite the template name (home/away team, score etc.). In any case the article is only referenced from the league’s page and may not be notable. Eldumpo (talk) 00:03, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

appears to be a fork of Template:Poland in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest Frietjes (talk) 23:12, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as Creator: I made the template due to a mistake where the actual Template:Poland in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest was not showing up, which made me believe there was no template. It should be deleted. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 23:25, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Completely redundant. The band itself is up for AfD as a non-notable group, but as none of their records are notable and there isn't a single link contained in this navbox, it's literally useless. Richard3120 (talk) 17:51, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:History of fashion with Template:Fashion.
For plain convenience, "fashion" being on ongoing historical theme anyway. Chicbyaccident (talk) 15:32, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

support no reason for 2 templates. --Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 06:05, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
do not merge, seems fine having two templates, with one focusing on the time line. the bigger problem is the duplication of template:history of fashion with Template:historical clothing. Frietjes (talk) 17:20, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep per Frietjes - no problem to have two templates with different subject matter, and the historical template does do a good job of linking relevant articles. --Tom (LT) (talk) 00:57, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete under WP:CSD#T3 as this navbox duplicates links all present in {{Media based on H. P. Lovecraft works}}. --wooden superman 10:57, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom.--Tom (LT) (talk) 00:15, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This discussion makes no sense because the template that you are saying this duplicates is still under discussion at Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2018_November_30#Template:Works_of_H._P._Lovecraft. That template may be merged away in that discussion. This should be discussed jointly with that consideration. Furthermore, as a template based on a work, it is a more meaningful contribution to the pages it is related to. Its contents are cluttered with unrelated derivatives of other works in the broader works templates. Those broader templates cause derivatives of one work to appear on the pages of derivatives of other unrelated works simply based on the fact that the author of the original is the same.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:55, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tony, {{Media based on H. P. Lovecraft works}} is not currently under discussion. You seem to have confused it with another template, maybe {{Works of H. P. Lovecraft}}. I have already pointed this out to you. --wooden superman 09:52, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see the talk page post now. There you say "the whole system of navboxes for Lovecraft is a complete mess". This is the wrong solution. {{Media based on H. P. Lovecraft works}} should be deleted or used only on derivatives of works that have at most a two or three derivatives (thus not having their own template). Most authors have a biographical template that encompasses their own work and templates for their individual works that have spawned lots of derivatives. Lovecraft has several templates, such as this, for works that have spawned derivatives. They should not be mashed together in a single template that is confusing to the reader and causes derivatives of one work to be on the page of derivatives of another work as well as causes variously-named derivatives to be points of confusion more than anything else.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:29, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The single navbox for all adaptations/media is absolutely the correct approach here, rather than individual templates, especially as some of this media is derived from multiple works, including two in this navbox: Necronomicon (film), which is based on three separate stories; and Call Girl of Cthulhu, which doesn't even seem to be based on "Cool Air", instead being "very loosely based on the writings of H. P. Lovecraft". No matter what happens with any of the other navboxes, this one is redundant. --wooden superman 14:19, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is redundant to the parent template. A parent template like {{Media based on Stephen King works}} might be easier to navigate and assuage some concerns above, though. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:03, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
