February 22

Template:StarStruck

Unused AussieLegend (✉) 22:13, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I can see that this has been depopulated. Can I know why? –HTD 02:33, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • As was explained in this edit summary a lot of the entries were removed per WP:PERFNAV. Others were removed because there should only be one link to each article and one was text with no link, which serves no purpose in a box meant to enable navigation between related articles. --AussieLegend (✉) 03:48, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:PERFNAV doesn't mean much to me as that page is rather long. This navbox previously had plenty of links, and just like the pages were it is linked today, is now practically decimated. The season articles don't even use this navbox. What gives? Can't the season articles use this navbox any more? How about previous finalists' articles? What makes this different, than say, {{American Idol}}? –HTD 12:22, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:PERFNAV, which is only 68 words long, essentially says not to include the names of actors/actresses, comedians, television/radio presenters, writers, composers, etc in navboxes. What makes this template different to the American Idol navbox is that this template complies with WP:PERFNAV, while {{American Idol}} does not. It needs to be pruned. --AussieLegend (✉) 14:36, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Airline codes page/top

No reason for this text to be stored in a template instead of directly in List of airline codes, where the other articles can transclude it with {{#section-h:List of airline codes}}. The {{Airline codes page/bottom}} template has no direct #section-h match, but still there no reason is should be stored in a template rather than transcluded using WP:LST from the main article. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 22:10, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NFL All-Pro Team navboxes

These annual navboxes for All-Pro picks cause clutter and are WP:TCREEP. See examples like Ray Lewis or Peyton Manning. It becomes unwieldy when accomplished players start accumulating them each year. We already have enough navboxes from annual Super Bowl champs (Category:Super Bowl navigational boxes) and annual league award winners (Category:National Football League award navigational boxes). While it's notable how many times a player has been named All-Pro in their career, it's not notable enough for a navbox to call out the other honorees that year. Also, we don't currently limit All-Pro's listed in infoboxes to the Associated Press (AP) selector, but these navboxes only list the AP selections. Let's not invite navboxes for other All-Pro selectors or the annual Pro Bowl too.—Bagumba (talk) 10:10, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Jerry Rice would have 10 of these navboxes. Ten. Lizard (talk) 11:02, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nomination. There are already multiple navboxes on most players' pages and we certainly do not need more of them due to WP:TCREEP. – Sabbatino (talk) 11:21, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - yearly award navboxes for professionals are overkill as there is no limit to how many times a person can win an award. Rikster2 (talk) 11:34, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nominator....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 14:41, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per everybody else.--Yankees10 17:29, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Even though I put all the time and effort into half of them, I understand how they aren’t really needed and cause clutter to players like Peyton Manning. They need to go RoyalsLife 04:35, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This information is already in the All-Pro Team articles. As mentioned, putting it at the bottom of every participants article is not ideal. Mamyles (talk) 18:50, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox lunar eclipse

Orphan template. B dash (talk) 04:53, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please keep. I've not worked on lunar eclipses for a while, but this stat table will be useful in the future for a more general solution for stats on each event. Tom Ruen (talk) 06:00, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Tom Ruen, is the idea to create something like Template:Infobox solar eclipse for lunar eclipses? if so, I am happy to help. Frietjes (talk) 13:35, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, definitely. I've just not got around to looking to do this. Tom Ruen (talk) 00:39, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Tom Ruen, okay, I started module:Lunar eclipse, but still need to construct the data modules. Frietjes (talk) 19:53, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:2018 UPSL Southeast standings

Article was deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2018 UPSL season. So no need. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 01:33, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 07:40, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nominator....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:33, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - not needed. GiantSnowman 13:39, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment That article is currently undergoing a deletion review. This template should not be deleted until the DRV is complete. Smartyllama (talk) 17:27, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per outcome of the deletion review. Jay eyem (talk) 20:16, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • merge with the article, and delete, single use template. Frietjes (talk) 00:30, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Please note - the page has been undeleted, and thus we've effectively restarted the discussion. I have also merged all of the discussions together because the original listings had literally the same votes in the same order by the same people.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Primefac (talk) 03:17, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Use Jamaican English

Propose merging Template:Use Jamaican English with Template:Use British English.
Jamaican English is a continuum between Jamaican Standard English (which uses British spelling and grammar, but different pronunciation) and Jamaican Patois (which is rarely written and not appropriate for a work intended to be understandable by most English readers). Articles related to Jamaica should use Jamaican Standard English/British English spelling. Since they are the same thing (as far as spelling), and this template is about which type of spelling should be used, the {{Use Jamaican English}} template should be merged into the {{Use British English}} template. Kaldari (talk) 07:02, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - while Jamaican English spellings and grammar may be identical to UK, there remains an issue of vocabulary and wording choices (see potential examples in Jamaican English#Vocabulary). If the overall vocabulary differences are trivial, merging the template would seem warranted. Otherwise, it may indicate that certain UK wording choices are not necessarily appropriate.

  • Oppose per DL2k - Although Jamaican is similar to English in terms of spelling etc it's still a different language and so IMHO it deserves its own entity. –Davey2010Talk 22:35, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of Microsoft Office

These contents-only templates are used in one article only. I don't see why their content should not be on that article, where any editor can edit them. I propose we substitute and delete them. Codename Lisa (talk) 13:23, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Subst and delete per nom. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 03:40, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep The code for this is quite long and complex, so that substituting could confuse article editors. If there is not a way to shorten this code I'm leaning toward keeping the template. Mamyles (talk) 18:53, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Mexican brands

Does not pass WP:LISTN, vague scope is rife for promotional misuse. 1292simon (talk) 01:21, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:NSWMPs

unused; most likely replaced by other succession templates Frietjes (talk) 00:25, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Wenshan Line (Taipei Metro) RDT

unused; probably because it duplicates the map in Template:Wenhu Line (Taipei Metro) RDT Frietjes (talk) 00:15, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nominator....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 15:44, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
