Template:Katikireddy

Template:Katikireddy (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This is not a template in any meaningful sense, and it is not used as a template anywhere. It is, in fact, an article on a non-notable subject which has been given a title with "Template:" as a prefix, probably due to lack of understanding by the creator. I think this really qualifies for speedy deletion under WP:CSD#A7 but, because of the claim to be a template, I thought it safer to nominate it here.

Propose merging Template:Infobox Indian actor with Template:Infobox actor.
Fork of the main actor template. The only difference is that it has a list of awards. The awards were removed from the main template back in April 2009 "per talk page request and consensus at WT:ACTOR". We can't have a different infobox for every nationality because we would have to maintain dozens of templates instead of just one. Enric Naval (talk) 07:08, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge or Delete - There are actually several parameters that have been removed from the general infobox actor that are native to the more generic Template:Infobox person: nationality, known_for, education, notable works, occupation, height, weight, religion, children, parents, relations, signature, and signature_caption. However, I can't see where any of those parameters are relevant or useful for an actor article. Most of these points are, or should be, covered in the main article body (besides signature, height and weight) and are omitted for other valid reasons). There should not be infobox templates divisions based on nationality of the person. Notability requirements are the same whether American, Indian, French or Martian. However, since this template isn't actually used on any articles [1], I lean toward deletion. Wildhartlivie (talk) 07:34, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template provides no navigation. Sarilox (talk) 01:57, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there's nothing there to navigate. As the show evolves there will be more to do so. Mr. Prez (talk) 02:06, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Errr, re-create the template when there are at least, say, three different articles. Copy/paste the source code into a notepad file or a Word file and save it in your computer so you don't have to write it again. I'm not sure of what other articles you are going to create, so I'll go also go for delete.

P.D.: Some advice. I would advise against creating articles on each of the show protagonists, because they will be quickly nominated for merging them into the show article. You will only get a few people commenting about "not being notable" and other wikipedia slang, which the article subjects might not like. First put the relevant info inside the show article, and then, maybe, sometime in the future, it can be splitted out if there are enough sources (and that's going to take quite a few sources, in order to fullfill the WP:ENTERTAINER notability guideline or, by default, the WP:ANYBIO one). There is also the WP:BLP biography of living persons to create additional headaches. --Enric Naval (talk) 16:56, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This template is a convuluted way of doing something very simple. A similar template is already up for deletion here Keegscee (talk) 22:22, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
