June 21

[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 no consensus. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 22:27, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seems unnecessary. Almost every year we have C4 Severe Tropical Cyclones, and there is nothing special to have a template for them, compared with C5 Severe TC. Also, we don't have similar templates for South Pacific cyclones B dash (talk) 14:00, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@B dash: The reasoning in the deletion nomination is faulty and I oppose the deletion nomination. These are templates, not articles. The template is not an article titled List:Category 4 Australian region tropical cyclones, and no extraordinary notability is claimed (besides, such an article could be warranted anyway). Furthermore, your comment regarding there not being similar templates for the South Pacific is missing the point. The reason such templates do not exist is because no editor has yet decided spend the hours of tedious, repetitive editing that it takes to make these templates, choosing to rather edit and improve articles instead. Additionally, the fact that no such similar template exists for another topic is irrelevant, and does not preclude there being such a template made for the Australian region. These templates serve as a useful navigation tool for readers and editors to find similar cyclones, and provide a complete, compact list of all these systems. Nominating these for deletion is simply causing unnecessary trouble, and no one would benefit from the deletion. ChocolateTrain (talk) 14:14, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seems unnecessary. Almost every year we have C3 Severe Tropical Cyclones, and there is nothing special to have a template for them, compared with C5 Severe TC. Also, we don't have similar templates for South Pacific cyclones B dash (talk) 14:00, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Gonnym: Basically, you are saying to merge until such articles exist (ie List of Category 4 Australian region severe tropical cyclones)? NoahTalk 15:20, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There are two main points to my argument - 1) there is no main article, which sometimes isn't an issue if links exists to actual articles, but then the question arises, why isn't there an article if this group is notable? and 2) most of the links are not to unique articles, but to the same article, over and over. Redirects don't have a place in navigation templates, as they don't navigate between articles. You could edit out the redirect links and leave only the yearly link, but then the 5 templates will duplicate 50~ links, which is why I proposed to merge them. --Gonnym (talk) 15:26, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Gonnym: There are no redirect links being used here. Tropical cyclones are given their own sections within tropical cyclone season articles, which is why there are section hashes (#) used in the links to the season articles from the navbox. Regarding the point made above on bidirectionality, the tropical cyclones which do have individual articles all have these templates transcluded onto them, so the condition is satisfied in that regard. It would be unnecessary to have all of these templates on a season article. Also, I don't think the notability thing is really relevant here. The purpose of the template is a navigational aid for readers if they wish to find cyclones of similar strength. ChocolateTrain (talk) 15:38, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) I have been working on creating lists for Cat 1 - 5 SPAC and Aus in userspace and can move these into the mainspace at the drop of a hat.Jason Rees (talk) 16:16, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for using the wrong term, the issue is usually templates with redirects which was why I wrote that, but section links are the same exact issue (and if to stray a bit off-topic here, redirects should be used instead of pipped links, see WP:R). If you create the lists, the section links or redirects still have no place in a navigation template, as again, they offer no navigation at all between articles. You can, and should, link to the relevant list article and to any cyclone that has its own article. --Gonnym (talk) 19:59, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
While they may not link to full blown articles about the system, I personally feel that its useful to link to the seasonal article section since they are mini-articles about the storms. But maybe @ChocolateTrain: its a case of us having to think about these templates and redesign them.Jason Rees (talk) 01:11, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I should also make the point that if these templates are deleted, it will be an example of fruit of the poisonous tree. According to the evidence provided by B dash, there was no justification to nominate these templates for deletion originally. All deliberation since then would not have occurred if the templates had not been improperly nominated without cause in the first place, so any potential deletion is tainted by misconduct.
