Template:Iranian rock

[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. The arguments are fair and rational on both sides of this discussion. On the one hand, we do not have similar navboxes for other countries, but this particular navbox appears small enough that it would not be unreasonable to include on an article. There is no prejudice against restructuring, but if after doing so it is determined that either the criteria is too vague or the listed groups are not actually rock groups (leaving too few for a reasonable navbox) there is no prejudice against renomination.

Created by a serial hoaxer, and made up of a number of the hoaxes they created. I think it was created merely to lend credence to their hoaxes. While this could be a useful template, I'm afraid it warrants a WP:TNT due to the circumstances of its creation. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 17:03, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep CaptainEek, I don't know what you mean by "serial hoaxer." Nevertheless, what's wrong with this template? If it's related to the articles themselves, those should be AfD'd. I personally don't subscribe to the "delete everything of a sockpuppet" ideology. I think it should be case-by-case. I don't see a clear enough case for WP:TNT. --Doug Mehus T·C 01:19, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The user who created the template has made at least 10 hoaxes, maybe more, almost all about Iranian rock music, or other Iranian topics. I've been going around trying to cleanup the mess they made. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 03:09, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Delete. Having taking a look at the template I found a few issues. Some of the articles listed didn't even mention "rock"; 2 were red links. A few others are tagged with {{Hoax}}. These alone are already enough of a red flag to question the validity of all entries. Additionally, we don't have a "US rock" or "British rock" template (I couldn't find one when I search for them), and I don't think this is a good idea to start a convention of creating these for a few reasons. Group1 is "pioneers" - who said so? This is complete WP:OR. Group2 is "groups" - do we list them all? So in the US example, do we list hundreds of articles? Group3 is "Persons" - who decides what is listed here? This template is completely bad idea. --Gonnym (talk) 11:12, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Restructure per Gonnym's analysis to why the current grouping is original research. I suggest sorting the entries by decade to avoid this. If any of the enteries are hoaxes or otherwise dubious the solution is to delete or rewrite the article in question not deleting the navbox. ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 20:38, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Need a little more input as to whether it should be deleted or restructured.

Template:Editnotices/Page/Shyne

[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 Speedily deleted under criterion G7.. Why on earth the nominator didn't start by consulting me, as the creator of the page, rather than bringing it to a deletion discussion, I can't imagine. This was obviously intended to be a temporary page which I forgot to delete, and of course I deleted it as soon as it was brought to my attention. (Incidentally, "Page protection is a better way of accomplishing the aims of this notice" shows a failure to understand what the purpose of the page was, but that is irrelevant now.)

Please delete this non-standard time-expired edit notice, last edited 2 October 2018. Page protection is a better way of accomplishing the aims of this notice. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:20, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Archive bottom

[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 Redirect Template:RM bottom to Template:Archive bottom. Using this rather than plain redirect because I am not sure that we can simply redirect this. It should be a redirect though, given Pigsonthewing's uncontested point. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:54, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Archive bottom with Template:RM bottom.
Here I am again... Continuing my oddly specific campaign to redirect templates to {{Archive bottom}}. This one is a bit more popular than the last group, but my reasoning is the exact same. It's a slightly more specific variation of Archive bottom, but they do essentially the same thing. Therefore, we should redirect. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 04:43, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
