Template:Power Grid Corp of China

Template:Power Grid Corp of China (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Duplicative of {{Power grid corporations of China}}, no reason to keep to identical templates. Eastlaw ^talk ⁄ _contribs 22:54, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Template:Lists of countries

Template:Lists of countries (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Bloated and unwieldy; of questionable usability; can be superceded. -- Cybercobra (talk) 06:38, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

To elaborate, I've created the following templates from this template, that they may replace it:

• {{Agriculture country lists}}
• {{Energy country lists}}
• {{Finance country lists}}
• {{GDP country lists}}
• {{Geography country lists}}
• {{Industry country lists}}
• {{Law country lists}}
• {{Media country lists}}
• {{Military country lists}}
• {{Politics country lists}}
• {{Population country lists}}
• {{Quality of life country lists}}
• {{Religion country lists}}
• {{Sports country lists}}
• {{Transport country lists}}

Deletion warnings have been spammed to many list articles that use this template so as to give adequate notice. --Cybercobra (talk) 07:39, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

• Keep: How is it of "questionable usability"? It is perfectly fine as a WP template. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email guestbook complaints 07:50, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
  • It's very large and contains many statistics completely unrelated to any given article it may be used on. Thus, it wastes space and is complicated to navigate, making it less useful to readers. --Cybercobra (talk) 07:57, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
• Keep: It is large, but very usable with a categorized layout.  Nuβiατεch ^Talk/_contrib 11:23, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
• Keep: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you find that the list is too big and it gets in your way you can use the hide button and open it only when needed. Sbw01f (talk) 11:33, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
• Delete. This is the very definition of an arbitrary collection of information, and is far too busy for the primary purpose of navboxes (to quickly navigate to articles you want to go to from a given subject). The keeps are substance-free. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 12:24, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
• Keep' - Useful template, allowing people to browse all sorts of country articles. BritishWatcher (talk) 18:39, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
• Delete - Too arbitrary. Garion96 (talk) 19:42, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
• Keep It is quite large, but also quite useful for comparing countries on a economic scale. Might be useful to spin-off parts there aren't that useful from a economic perspective, like the sports category.TheFreeloader (talk) 21:11, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
• Wow! Eyefuck. Keepers should be able to point to more than wp:useful if this is to be kept. Endorse replacement with more specialised boxes, per nominator. Flowerparty^☀ 22:10, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
  • er, WP:useful refers to "encyclopedic" content, not templates. By the same token, what is the rationale to split it into specialized templates, or create this very template or similar ones in the first place?  Nuβiατεch ^Talk/_contrib 11:54, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
• Support deletion and replacement with the new templates. As far as I'm concerned, smaller is better when you are dealing with navboxes which have multiple categories of articles or data (with a few minor exceptions). --Eastlaw ^talk ⁄ _contribs 00:10, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
• Keep For general articles on countries the combined list is better; for articles of specific aspects, the new divided ones seem a very good idea also. DGG (talk) 08:21, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
  • How is the line drawn? --Cybercobra (talk) 08:51, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
• Delete Really not needed.Ghoongta (talk) 11:41, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
• Keep The only template in the whole web that consists of single page with ranking order for multiple items. If removed WWW will lose a very useful statistical tool.Chanakyathegreat (talk) 13:19, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

The same image is used in hundreds of biography articles of Guantanamo prisoners. The image itself is unsuitable for such an article. It can be perceived as showing the prisoner of war in the article. Docu (talk) 05:23, 27 June 2009 (UTC), updated 05:26, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
