October 8[edit]

Template:IraqWarCorr[edit]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was Delete. no connection. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:43, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Useless template. There's no overriding connection, because not only is the conflict unclear ("Iraq War" is referring to different conflicts, as the war that ended in 2003 is not the same one that was going on in 2007), but "killed during the war" is also a problem: I would assume that a journalist killed during a war dies in or because of a battle. However, one person I removed I removed because she died in a car accident after the war ended in 2003. Others *were* killed while embedded, but some others were "killed by extremists." Baldoni, for example, was kidnapped and killed. As these are all very different types of death, the template seems to be a dumping ground for what are largely unconnected and unrelated deaths, not to mention the tremendous number of redlinks.

  • delete, better to use a category. Frietjes (talk) 21:29, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. I have to agree that a category is better for this information: the people listed here are too diverse and tenuously connected to justify a navigational template. Robofish (talk) 00:03, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New template, whose entries consist entirely of external links. Sidebar templates like this one are mainly intended to navigate internal links, possibly with an external link to the "official website" for the topic of the page on which it is transcluded. The external links here should be placed instead in an "External links" section, or possibly a "Further reading" section. NSH002 (talk) 18:07, 8 October 2015 (UTC) Go ahead and delete it, I can do something else if that's the preference.FourLights (talk) 19:36, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete. insufficient links. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:12, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Useless; only one article uses this template. 121.54.54.236 (talk) 12:53, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • merge, assuming there is another market which covers this market, otherwise keep. Frietjes (talk) 14:59, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - there's four frequencies listed, and three of them have no callsigns, and thus they're redlinks. There's no need to have an entire template when there's only one active nav item. Just because a market exists doesn't mean it needs to have a template, especially in smaller markets. MSJapan (talk) 21:34, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not enough links to provide useful navigation, now all the filler has been removed. Rob Sinden (talk) 12:44, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete, standard in-article wikilinking works fine here. Frietjes (talk) 14:59, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete this is not a template for Jamie Lawson -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 04:07, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. There's maybe three items in it that aren't redlinks, and one of the three items hasn't even been released yet. MSJapan (talk) 21:30, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:No fair use[edit]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was delete. (non-admin closure) BethNaught (talk) 06:53, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions. Not really proper to use as an edit notice since it would have to be located in the "User:" namespace to be effective, and not able to be used in the "File:" namespace unless it is added to every single fair use claim template (unnecessary redundancy since non-free files should never be in any namespace except "Article:".)
