March 16[edit]

Template:Infobox spacecraft[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. Were it not for the previous discussion at WT:SPACEFLIGHT this discussion would be right at a "no consensus", but there's not enough here to change that previous consensus. With no current transclusions and a previous deprecation there's nothing left to do but delete. Primefac (talk) 01:49, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The template documentation says it is being phased out, but I don't see the deletion discussion. If it's being deleted, it should be actually replaced (as per the template doc) with either {{Infobox spaceflight}} for articles about single spacecraft or {{Infobox spacecraft class}} for articles about multiple spacecraft and then deleted. Gonnym (talk) 09:39, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - The fact that this was overturned in a recent DRV is enough for me. I agree with O'Dea that "Spaceflight" and "spacecraft" are two distinct things and remind editors here that WP:CCC. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 23:14, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • The DRV concerned itself solely with issues of procedure, and says nothing about the merits of the template. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:57, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • There isn't any evidence that this template was a candidate for being phased out then. I also agreed with O'Dea's assessment. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 05:08, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • That could be true, if by "no evidence" you mean ignoring the discussion I linked to. --Gonnym (talk) 07:32, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • Yes there is; you seem to have missed the link posted by Gonnym, above, with timestamp "22:47, 10 February".You're also not giving any reason that the template is actually needed. Finally, O'Dea's "it's not as if it disrupts Wikipedia in any way" is an argument of a kind expressly deprecated in WP:HARMLESS.

When I look (randomly) at Category:Albanian football squad navigational boxes I find {{KF Apolonia Fier squad}} has 3 blue links but 5 transclusions. {{Besa Kavajë squad}} has 1 Rogers who seems to have left them in 2016.

Propose merging Template:Three Men in a Boat with Template:Jerome K. Jerome.
Massive overlap between the two templates. The total set of article involved is 9 or ten, and Template:Three Men in a Boat is basically a reformatted version of Template:Jerome K.

N.B.:Since BrownHairedGirl has attempted to serve as both the nominator and the closer, I have reverted her closing edits.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:15, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oh dear. Tony is not content with criticising me for miscounting (sorry!), but then repeats a false claim that only 2 links were common: it's actually three, because Tony repeatedly fails to count the head article.
And its simply untrue to assert that I have attempted to serve as both the nominator and the closer.
The closer's role is to evaluate the debate and close it. JJMC89 closed the debate in this edit[2], at 07:50, 24 March 2019
However, the closer is not required to personally do all the spadework, and it is quite common for the nominator to implement the closer's decision. So when he close was unimplemented after 44 hours, I implemented the closer's decision in these 6 edits[3].
I note that Tony has no substantive complaint about the merged template, visible here. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 05:05, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unused election results template. Per precedent at this tfd... To paraphrase an editor at that TFD: The results of the <insert election year> election are there.

The result of the discussion was keep. The TFD crew are in the process of creating a list of "common outcomes" at TFD. These single- or two-use templates have mixed outcomes, with some being kept, some being subst/deleted, and some (with 2+ transclusions) being shared via WP:LST. If it becomes clear(er) that one of these outcomes is the preferred outcome of such templates, there is no prejudice against renomination. Primefac (talk) 01:00, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Actually they are used. Somehow there has been a naming error which meant that other templates were included on the pages instead of these ones. Thanks you for highlighting this Zackmann08, I have corrected it. Since they now have transclusions I recommend the deletion tags now be removed. Kiwichris (talk) 00:52, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Kiwichris: nomination update, but per the precedent, they should be subst directly into the article and the template deleted. --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 03:04, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep It’s the convention of the NZ politics task force to use templates for results if they are needed on more than one page. Things invariably change (not the results but names, notability, etc) and not all editors know when the same info needs to be updated in several places. After chasing our tails for years we eventually started using templates and the problems went away apart from the occasional nomination for deletion. Schwede66 18:18, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Subst and delete per nom. Each seems to be only used once. This sort of information should only appear once. If similar templates are used more than once, this is a sign that one set of the data should be removed, linking to the only set. Nigej (talk) 21:32, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The idea was that the templates would be housed on both election and nth Parliament pages and that only one edit would be required to update both locations (efficiency in a nutshell). Somehow these templates have erroneously had both their transclusions removed, but can simply be re-added to the respective pages and once again comply with the agreed convention.

    only one edit would be required to update both locations What about this template could possibly need updating, given that the results of past elections can't change. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 03:18, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    The main thing that is updated on these templates are the links. Naming conventions can change and links to biographies and electorates need to be updated to reflect the change. Links are also added as candidates acquire notability and have articles of their own. Kiwichris (talk) 06:56, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    In addition, these templates are part of a series going back to 1853. The further back you go, the more uncertainty there is about results, names of unsuccessful candidates, etc. Schwede66 18:36, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Schwede66. Importantly, if they needed on more than one page, according of the NZ politics they forced to use for template as a result of an election, also the respective pages again comply if convention as been agreed. Links also been added and reflect the change and notability. Sheldybett (talk) 00:36, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as per others, also occasionally some of the unsuccessful candidates get articles later on via becoming MPs for the later ones and for older ones getting articles via entry in one of the DNZBs. J947 (c), at 03:16, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • And also, nominate all of them if you want to delete them. I know that there was a transclusion error but it should be fairly obvious that there are others following the same pattern which didn't have an error. J947 (c), at 03:24, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unused election template. Per precedent at this tfd. To paraphrase an editor at that TFD: The results of the <insert election year> election are there. That information isn't going to change. There is no reason to have a template (even if used on multiple pages) to convey information that is completely static. Same logic applies here, particularly since the template is UNUSED!
