Album track listing templates

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template(s) or module(s) 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 all except Template:Moondance tracks, as the rationale does not apply. ✗plicit 11:50, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

These were all listed as individual listings. Merged together because the rational is the same. In all cases, a template for the artist or work already exists and therefore these templates are duplication. {{Extra track listing}} the additional navigation template is not required and is duplication. The guidance says "Track listings should not be added to infoboxes if there is a navigation template or navbox at the bottom of the article which already lists the songs". ≫ Lil-Unique1 -{ Talk }- 21:40, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is potential single-article content for 1872 Canadian federal election that is currently transcluded in the talk page. They do not need to exist in template space and should be substed onto the talk page. These templates were created in 2011 and have each needed multiple maintenance edits since then. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:10, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A large number of these templates have been created since March 2022; they came to my notice when {{Lambrecht-surname}} linked to a surname page I had created. I proposed that template for deletion at AfD and it was deleted. I suggested that the editor should stop creating these templates, but they have continued to do so without commenting on my talk page message. These six are the first of about 50 similar templates which were created, brought here as a small batch to check for consensus. If the consensus is for deletion, presumably the other 40+ could be bundled into a single multiple deletion proposal in the future. PamD 15:38, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The somewhat similar given-name sidebar template {{Charles}} was discussed last month. Pinging the major contributors to that discussion: @Fram, WikiCleanerMan, TonyTheTiger, Bagumba, Uanfala, Frietjes, Spike 'em, and Joseph2302: PamD 16:06, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rationale for {{Matthew-surname}} There is no sourced information in the encyclopedia linking these names. The articles on (most of all of) the individual surnames do not mention "Matthew". I suggest that if there are WP:RS available which state that these names are associated with the given name "Matthew", then a sourced list of these names could be included in Matthew (given name) and a sourced statement to that effect added to each surname article. There is no need for this template, which clutters the surname pages with unverified associations. The article on the surname Matthew (surname) lists two unsourced variants, one of which, Mathew (one "t") is not included in this template, illustrating the unreliable nature of statements in this area.

The other five templates are similarly unsourced and unreliable (why include McAllister and not McAlister in the "Alexander" one?)This and a group of similar surname templates are not useful to our readers. PamD 15:21, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edited to rearrange as requested by @WikiCleanerMan:: I've never tried a multiple nomination at an XfD before and tried to follow the suggestions for multiple nominations at Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion#Listing_a_template but didn't get it right. PamD 17:10, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The creator of these templates is not responding to any comments. He just seem to dump them without a care in the world about the quality of the links. It is rather frustrating to see how many links to disambiguation pages he adds. I have told him that I would just unlink them. No comment at all. I support mass removal. The Banner talk 15:58, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all Fails WP:NAVBOX #3: The articles should refer to each other, to a reasonable extent. One could imagine each article referring to the main name, presuming they are verifiably related, but not to all of the variants.—Bagumba (talk) 16:17, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nomination. PamD, could you fix the placement of the Tfd link format and the rationale. Most of the rationale is the same for most of the templates nominated. It's kind of hard to navigate going through the page. For instance, the Tfd links should go below the header of the nomination and the rationale below the templates listed. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 17:01, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete, better to use list articles or categories for this type of navigation. Frietjes (talk) 17:14, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. If sourced and reformatted, each box might make a useful list section of an article, but others have pointed out why the material is unsuited to navboxes. I also attempted to contact the creator without response. The links to dabs can be fixed per WP:INTDAB (though it's disappointing that someone else has to clean up) but navboxes rarely list dabs: those dabs don't (and, per MOS:DAB, shouldn't) transclude a navbox. Many other linked pages are technically articles but just list people so named; such pages are useful navigation aids but have little or no encyclopedic content to merit a navbox entry.

This template is not possible to use, because its parent template is self-documenting. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:01, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Local documentation also allows inclusion of related data in the "Other information" section of the main documentation page. Just added related info to this template. This is standard practice for many Country data templates. Here are three examples of the many local /doc pages: here, here and here. P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 11:29, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions. {{mbox}} and similar appear to work fine. I suspect that people didn't like the shouty nature of this template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:58, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as creator; it must have fulfilled a need I had back in 2011, but evidently it didn't catch on. This, that and the other (talk) 05:20, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
