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

This template violates WP:NPOV by subjectively determining that some information is "obscure", and additionally encourages unproductive editing practices. It suggests for editors to delete informative, referenced material solely because some other section of the article has not yet been developed. Alternatively it suggests that editors could split off an "obscure" section of a small article about a single topic, but this will only lead to burdensome WP:AfD proceedings. To me this seems part of a counterproductive trend where a would-be "editor in chief" claims the right to balance an article, not by working to fill in missing details, but by undoing other editors' efforts and pushing them to work on those aspects the editor-in-chief finds interesting rather than what they might themselves be motivated to contribute. Most of the articles tagged with this template need more information, not less, while its use in WBRZ-TV and Soovin Kim should be replaced with some more specific objection regarding notability of persons.

Delete per nom. - Masonpatriot (talk) 17:56, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per nom, and I think the "no trivia" template performs an extremely similar function so this is unnecessary. Axem Titanium (talk) 15:06, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The trivia and "rewrite so it's comprehensible to non-experts" templates seem to cover most use cases, and without the problems outlined in the nom. --Cybercobra (talk) 12:08, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to {{fancruft}}, which already deals with this problem. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 12:58, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:-1 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template is used to move the <ref> citations (e.g., ^[1]) slightly to the left. I don't think this looks good, and it doesn't make sense to do this in just a few articles. I've already removed the two current mainspace usages of it. --- RockMFR 16:53, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per nom, not feasibly applied, basically just one user's preference on what cite tags should look like. Axem Titanium (talk) 15:07, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unnecessary duplication of the functionality of <ref> tags. --Cybercobra (talk) 12:04, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
