April 3

[edit]

Template:Actors

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was delete. (non-admin closure) Pkbwcgs (talk) 08:04, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

These templates are only used in Wikipedia:WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers and offer links to sub-categories by nationality, but since no one is keeping them updated, they do not list all the country categories. This is a wasted effort, which requires active maintenance, while all of them can be easily replaced by a see also link in the article leading directly to the parent category, which is always up-to-date. Also, since they are not placed on any other relevant page, they offer no navigation per WP:LINKBACK. Gonnym (talk) 21:31, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Scott Rudin

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was delete. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 00:08, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The navbox violates WP:FILMNAV, "Filmographies (and similar) of individuals should also not be included in navboxes, unless the individual concerned could be considered a primary creator of the material in question." As simply a producer, Scott Rudin is almost never the primary creator of the material in question. Furthermore, producer navboxes in general are inappropriate because per WP:NAVBOX disadvantages, they "may also incorrectly suggest that one aspect of a topic or a linked example is of more, less, or equal importance to others" and "can take up too much space for information that is only tangentially related" and "may not give the reader enough clues as to which links are most relevant".

  • Question: There are over 100 templates placed in Category:Film producer navigational boxes. Is there any previous discussion on the matter of producers somewhere? --Gonnym (talk) 21:13, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • The language and interpretaion of WP:FILMNAV has been hotly debated several times. I am also kind of curious why these two of the 100+ were nominated. I think there should be a mass nomination of a whole slate rather than just isolating Rudin and Heyman now.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:21, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • I saw the Scott Heyman one at The Secret Garden (upcoming film), and the creator then suggested the Scott Rudin one. I didn't realize how many there were, but they should go per WP:FILMNAV and WP:NAVBOX. Maybe keep something like Spielberg? Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 21:51, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • I'm conflicted here. On the one part, the producer is the person winning the Academy Award for Best Picture, which points to a significance to it. However, in more recent years there is a trend where a lot of famous actors can negotiate a producer credit, but it isn't our (Wikipedia's) place to question that. --Gonnym (talk) 11:07, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
          • The producers are always mentioned and linked in the film infobox at the very least. I don't mind them being part of "crew lists" in production sections (which I know is not a thing). It's a question of why we should insert the producer's whole filmography at the bottom of the article, especially when most films have multiple producers. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 12:24, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
            • Commenting to Erik, but applies to Wood as well (don't want to duplicate it) - if this (and other TfDs) pass at deletion - how are producer credits handled in non-producer-only templates, such as {{Steven Spielberg}}? It would be very odd to remove production templates but leave production sections for other individuals, as the argument for removal or keep is valid for both. It seems to me that really the discussion should have been held first to determine if such lists should be included then brought to TfD. --Gonnym (talk) 14:01, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
              • I think if the case can be made that the individual is the "primary" creator of the works in the navbox then they can be kept, which may be appropriate when it comes to Spielberg. Other than that, they should be expunged. --woodensuperman 14:04, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Producers are problematic as the extent of their involvement is not always known, and they are not always the "primary" creator of material. For films such as Fantastic Mr. Fox and Frances Ha, he is just one of four producers, others he is the sole credited producer. But, more importantly, are people really using film producer chronology navboxes like this as a navigational aid? I doubt it, and besides, filmography lists and categories exist (or should do, if they don't), so this is unnecessary. --woodensuperman 12:10, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Producer mentions are fine in the article and as a category but they don;t need a navbox. MarnetteD|Talk 02:58, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep A producer is the main creator of a film. They're the ones who get the Best Picture Oscar.★Trekker (talk) 03:57, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Per the standard being established. There's multiple producers involved in a given film, and while they procure the Oscar for Best Picture, it still stands that unless they're a constantly solo producer, it's not just a one man show in regards to producing. He's one of five producers on the upcoming The French Dispatch. Rusted AutoParts 01:25, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per established convention. we don't have producer-based navboxes, only director-based navboxes. Frietjes (talk) 14:43, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Head article plus three other pages doesn't even meet the bare minimum of WP:NENAN. (The "Discography" link just redirects back to the main article).

The result of the discussion was delete all templates. TfD is not the forum for deleting a category, and since there is another template in the category that is not part of this TfD, it is not eligible for deletion under WP:C1. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 00:24, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:Cleanup image and convert into a wrapper. This will mean no change necessary to Twinkle while still collecting duplicate templates into a smaller space. Primefac (talk) 00:47, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Cleanup-SVG with Template:Cleanup image.
Unused currently, and this template could easily be merged back into the other image cleanup template, by making that template accept a parameter as to the media-type. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 08:25, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Provisional keep. It's used by Twinkle, and (barring emergencies, which of course this isn't) we ought not make major changes to Twinkle templates without ensuring that we won't break anything. I agree with your point, so I can support merging once we know that everything's fine. I've left a note at WT:Twinkle asking for input here. Nyttend (talk) 16:42, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or trim the navbox is a mess as Gonnym points out. I'm on the fence whether it should be pruned significantly or just deleted; I don't think any useful navigational value is provided at the moment and frankly can't see the utility of the navbox overall for the vast majority of readers. --Tom (LT) (talk) 05:10, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No reason to warn a user about this problem; it automatically corrects itself as the templates substitute to a transclusion of themselves. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 22:56, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:Bengali cuisine. During the merge, remove redlinks and only keep dishes that are "specific to Bengal" and not general desserts found in the subcontinent. Primefac (talk) 00:29, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

unused navbox with no parent article. Mostly redlinks Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:20, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and add to articles as it's viable navbox. No opinion if the redlinks should be trimmed, but there are about two dozen valid links. One potential problem is that some of the desserts listed are not specific to Bengal, so it might make sense to expand the scope to cover all desserts of the subcontinent (I'm surprised such a navbox doesn't seem to exist yet). – Uanfala (talk) 00:08, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - There is a category Category:Bengali desserts which notes Bengali cuisine#Desserts. The template under discussion is much more extensive than these, so is essentially entirely unreferenced. There needs to be some content first - then we can have a template linking things.

The result of the discussion was delete after replacement with {{Infobox settlement}}. — JJMC89 (T·C) 20:20, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As anyone following TFDs know, there has been a LOT of contention about {{Infobox settlement}} wrappers. I want to discuss this one in particular with no prejudice towards the other wrappers...

{{Metadata South Africa}} upon which this template is largely based is already in the process of being deleted per this tfd. Additionally, {{Inofbox South African town}} has already been deleted per this tfd. I feel that these show a clear precedent for up-merging this specific infobox.

To be clear, NO INFORMATION will be deleted from the articles. Once the merge is done, from the reader's perspective, nothing will have changed. Any questions or concerns, please {{ping|zackmann08}} Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 16:51, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
