Template:ESIScore

• Template:ESIScore (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This ESI score is based on original research and does not belong in Wikipedia. If it were based on actually peer-reviewed work, we could include it, but it is solely based on self-published material. jps (talk) 23:36, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Keep Lol WHAT? ESI is original research? Why don't we delete Earth Similarity Index as well then? Davidbuddy9 Talk  03:03, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Keep ESI is Original Reasearch? Is this an April fools joke? QuentinQuade (talk) 03:33, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Template:HabPlanetScore

• Template:HabPlanetScore (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This particular template is based on original research. No peer-reviewed "habitability scores" are published for planets by Kepler, NASA, etc. jps (talk) 21:04, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Keep Same reason as TfD above. Davidbuddy9 Talk  03:25, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Keep Btw Kepler is a misson by NASA their not seperate entities. An exoplanet is an exoplanet even if it was discovered by NASA other properties can be discovered by other space orginizations too. The reason why other orginizations such as universities publish ESI scores instead of the original publisher like the NASA/Kepler mission is because its not Kepler's job to calculate the ESI. Instead we can take the values of the planet which is Kepler's job (to find exoplanetary data) and plug that data into an equation to get the ESI. The ESI is in Universe Sandbox^2 and SpaceEngine and countless other astronomy software and was not invented on Wikipedia for funzies. I am going to assume that this is just an April fools joke because.... QuentinQuade (talk) 03:37, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

The college basketball season this is for is the better part of a year away. WP:TOOSOON ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 14:14, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Template:Gaddafi backed

• Template:Gaddafi backed (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Inclusion of these very different organizations or vaguely related topics into this controversial template is neither specified, qualified, or quantified, nor is it sourced or comprehensively covered.
Even if a proper article on this topic existed, I doubt this is an appropriate topic for a navbox. We could have myriads of similar templates claiming to collect groups supported by Putin, Erdoğan, the Saud family, U.S. government agencies, etc. p.p. But I'd rather keep navboxes limited to uncontroversially related articles only. I'm however not opposed to listifying these, if properly sourced. PanchoS (talk) 12:51, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Keep: the Gaddafi government in Libya was particularly notable for it's foreign policy of supporting and financing revolutionary political movements (the article for this is Foreign relations of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi) across the world associated with the Non-Aligned Movement and this was a key aspect to a number of conflicts. This is an uncontroversial fact. Yes, we could have other templates along similar lines, that could be very useful... I think templates on movements the US or Soviet Union supported as part of their foreign policy during the Cold War would be useful. Or even the Saudi royal family.

Another easy way to stop all the april fool's pranks today. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:20, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

• Keep - @TenPoundHammer: This would require removing the transclusions from pages using the template. Eyesnore 03:26, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
• Keep that won't stop anything, rather it will hide it all away, making people assume they are serious (assuming, since this isn't carrying such a template, that this is a serious nomination)-- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 05:43, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
