Template:Asc

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template(s) or module(s) 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. ✗plicit 00:13, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Previously nominated for deletion earlier this year as an unused template, but was given some time to gain traction. The American Song Contest has now taken place and the template is still not being used. Given the format of the show and the lack of transparency of the process of selecting each state's entry, I don't see a future where "Massachusetts in the American Song Contest", etc. becomes a viable standalone article that would require the use of this template. Grk1011 (talk) 19:54, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep; templates are harmless, and if there's a chance it can still be useful (when there are multiple editions of ASC) then no reason to delete it. If ASC stops and the thing is still unused I'd support deleting it. I would also support a merger with Template:Esc. ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 20:49, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nomination. Not much has changed since my original nomination. But a merger with Esc could be a better route. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:01, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • I guess I don't see how a merger would be helpful. There doesn't seem to be a future use for x in the American Song Contest. It's a reality tv show by a singular broadcaster that decides everything. Unlike the contests that use {{Esc}}, there are no other parties whose actions are being documented in the offshoot pages. A "state" doesn't perform because state's don't enter; NBC assigns people a state that they can represent based on relatively subjective criteria (if any). If an entrant or song becomes notable on its own, that information would just go to those respective pages. Grk1011 (talk) 13:14, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      Notability of "state in the American Song Contest" articles is not dependent on whether or not there is a separate organisation responsible for it. It's whether there are enough sources talking about the participation of the state in the American Song Contest through the years. Obviously that is right now not the case, but if this will be a recurring event then it could. ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 01:02, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      We typically don't preemptively create templates for things that might be useful in the future, especially if it isn't certain. Wouldn't it make sense to delete this now and then add the capability to {{Esc}} if needed when the time comes? Grk1011 (talk) 12:55, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      Yeah that makes sense too; this would work better as a part of Template:Esc anyway. Delete. ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 16:12, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Still unused, let's not have another round of speculation about the future failing to come true. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:02, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete, unused. merging this would be the worst option. Frietjes (talk) 16:20, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Agree that it doesn't make a lot of sense to host an unused template with an uncertain future as to its utilisation. It would be an easy thing to modify {{Esc}} as and when the need arises, but for now that need does not exist, and may never come to fruition. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 09:15, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unused graph/chart template. Hard to see this could be substituted on any relevant space as it's too large to even read comfortably and gain any information off of. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 16:50, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was no consensus. There is an even split between rename for consistency vs. keep as subst-only as an article translation aid. However, nobody else supports deletion at least. (non-admin closure) — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 18:10, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and move to Template:Cite web/Russian * Pppery * it has begun... 14:02, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but make subst-only Template wrappers can be useful, and this one has an obvious purpose (for fixing the references in transwikied pages), but this shouldn't be used directly in articles – it would make most sense for it to expand to a {{cite}} template in English, rather than keeping the Russian in the source. I suspect that the current attempt to make this subst-only is broken; it has both {{subst only}} and {{#invoke:unsubst|main}} uses on it, which can't possibly be correct (we're basically telling a bot to subst it, and a module to then unsubst it, leading to an infinite loop) – that would need to be fixed. I'm not convinced that a rename would be beneficial; this is unlikely to clash with a name for another template, and it would just require an extra step in doing a transwiki. --ais523 09:54, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was soft delete. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the template's undeletion. ✗plicit 00:22, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fails NENAN. No links outside the main article minus the Greg Tagert and the stadium articles. Everything else is either a link to the team's article sections or general baseball article links. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:31, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All fail basic navigation. All link to one or two articles outside the main team article in the title. The rest are links to articles sections and categories. Links to personnel should not count as those are just articles about former MLB players that have played a role with the team, but not enough to justify keeping the templates because there is no overall connection to the team itself.

All either unused or single-use with no plausible other uses. * Pppery * it has begun... 20:41, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Subst and Userfy/Delete all The only transclusion that any of these templates have are in the main pages for the game. There is a potential use for many of these templates, especially the Chu Shogi and Makruk Templates; however, until people start sub-articles on these games, these templates will be siting around doing basically nothing. Techie3 (talk) 03:12, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The more I look at these and the related articles, the more I feel like this is not really a cohesive set. Hia Shatar and Makruk are almost identical to chess in terms of the pieces. Frankly, the {{chess diagram}} module already allows all kinds of board sizes, and would only need to add checkers pieces (which it's criminal it doesn't already have) to be able to diagram Makruk. And it looks like a single piece would be needed for Hia Shatar as well. So with a quick update to the chess diagram module, those templates could be ported to that, and the underlying modules ONLY could be deleted or userfied only after chess diagram module is updated. I don't know enough about Dou Shou Qi to say one way or another whether there's much utility to keeping it. But given the haphazard grouping of all these nominations I'd be hesitant to do any of that outside Yevrowl saying it's no longer needed. The Euroshogi, Pocket Shogi and Chu Shogi modules should probably be condensed to a single module and in the process port {{Shogi diagram}} to it as well. Eurojanggi looks like it's part of a whole other world of Janggi, so I'd suggest not touching that one and encourage Yevrowl to develop it further and build out its functionality to be more universal.
