Template:Totally Spies! (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Unnecessary navbox for a television series with only four links; two of which are sub-stub articles on the creators. All relevant information can be found easily in main article. ― El Cid 05:47, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:ModernDharmicWriters (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The criteria for inclusion have not been defined, leaving the possibility for this template to become huge (encompassing several countries and religions)- it is basically an unmanageable list, and as such an article which lists Modern Dharmic Authors would be better suited. Keeping this template only opens the way for edit wars. --Sfacets 02:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, a list article would definitely be better. Certainly the template should not be put on articles of writers who are not included on it. There are a few dozen writers on it, but the template creator spammed many more articles with the template. This implies that some writers are more important than others. What are the criteria for inclusion? IPSOS (talk) 02:46, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The first claim, that the criteria for inclusion have not been defined, applies to most other templates as well, and is wrong because there is a discussion about the criteria for inclusion on its talk page. Where are the criteria for inclusion for the Hinduism or the Buddhism template? Are they also to be deleted?
The claim by IPSOS that the template should not be put on articles of authors who are not included on it was answered by me already on talk, and I have received no response to my second post. Almost all religion and other templates (like the Hinduism and Buddhism templates) are also on many other articles which are not on the template but are related. Are they to be deleted for this? I believe that most articles benefit if they have 1 or 2 templates, and many of these articles had no other templates at all, I didn't put it on articles which already had many templates.
The claim that the template could become too big is not an issue at the moment, and there are many bigger templates. If it once becomes too big, the number of authors per religion should be restricted. Personally, I would like to see separate templates for each part in the future, that either complement or replace this template. But the problem is that right now, these kind of author articles are too incomplete and underdeveloped. For instance, there are at the moment not enough articles on Jain and Sikh authors to have a separate template on Jain and Sikh authors. There is one single article on an important Jain writer that is halfway well developed (it's still a stub). I imagine that in maybe one or two years, there will many more articles on other important Jain writers, but until then, it makes no sense to have a template on Jain writers. --Bondego 08:17, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Template:Canadiansoldiers.com Image (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Obsolete fair use tag, as the template isn't used with any images. There's enough clutter when it comes to various fair use tags already. There also exists a redirect at Template:Canadiansoldiers,com Image. — Rebelguys2 talk 01:50, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - tag is a bit confusing as it cites fair use and permission granted in the same breath. — PSUMark2006 talk | contribs 05:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
