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). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was no consensus, defaulting to keep. Though I technically could have given this a second relist, it's already been open for about a month, which is longer than the three weeks that two relists are supposed to accommodate. I consider that long enough. Thus since I couldn't really read a consensus in all of this, I'm closing it as no consensus, meaning we're back at the status quo before this discussion started.

Template:Bernard Nathanson (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Another pointless template created after the snow deletion of Template:Bernard Nathanson films. Very small number of articles (there are actually four, not five - The Hand of God is a dab page) which is not going to grow; most are already interlinked. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 16:20, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: This navbox seems entirely unnecessary, as it focuses on a small number of articles which are already closely interlinked. Since Nathanson is deceased, there will be no additional links forthcoming. Template:Bernard Nathanson films was deleted by clear consensus only a day or two ago, and this template was created immediately thereafter by the same editor, which raises some concern in my mind about WP:POINT and editorial motivations. Clearly there seems to be a consensus that we don't need a navbox on this obscure, although politically charged, subject. Regardless of motivations, though, the navbox is clearly unneeded and should be deleted. MastCell ^Talk 19:01, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's one thing to harbor reservations about an editor's motivations in your mind, but isn't it a violation of assume good faith to post them on a talk page? I think you've crossed the line and are engaging in personal attacks. – Lionel ^(talk) 19:10, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Assume good faith applies up until a certain threshold is crossed. Perhaps my threshold is lower than most. Regardless, as I said, I think there are clear content-based arguments to delete the template. MastCell ^Talk 20:21, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Extremely useful template passes WP:CLN, WP:NAV, and my rule of five at WP:NENAN. WP:CLN does not say anything about expansion. However it does state "Navigation templates are particularly useful for a small, well-defined group of articles." Well, this certainly qualifies under that requirment. Also, the nav box passes all 4 tests. Note there are 5 links: The Hand of God is fixed. There is just no rationale grounded in policy for deletion. The reason offered, a snow delete of another template, is a WP:OTHERSTUFF argument. – Lionel ^(talk) 19:07, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I mention in part because you made almost exactly the same argument about Template:Bernard Nathanson films as you're making here (even down to the same typo on "requirment" - did you just cut-and-paste it?) The only difference is that you've added 3 more links, to satisy the letter of the rule of five. But I think that if you read WP:NENAN for its actual content, rather than as a literal hoop through which to jump, you'll understand why this set of articles doesn't need a navbox. MastCell ^Talk 20:27, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Apart from your point being based on OTHERSTUFF, substantial content on Wikipedia consists of recreated articles which have been improved following a deletion discussion. There is nothing whatsoever out of the ordinary in heeding suggestions from CfD to create an improved template.

      NENAN is an essay. The template passes CLN, a guideline.– Lionel ^(talk) 05:45, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

      • But it's not OTHERSTUFF - this is the same stuff, slightly repackaged. That's my point. You're explicitly not heeding the feedback from the previous deletion discussion, because the feedback there was that this topic isn't expansive enough to warrant a navbox. As for NENAN, I'm not sure why you're now dismissing it as just "an essay". If you didn't think it held valuable advice, why did you cite it in your "keep" !vote? MastCell ^Talk 22:15, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • Not "repackaged" but expanded and thus improved. The topic is expansive enough for a template with 5 highly relevant links. Let me repeat that: 5 links. The now improved template passes WP:CLN, WP:NAV, etc.– Lionel ^(talk) 04:41, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
          • As pointed out earlier (below), template does not satisfy WP:COP because subject is not "very notable". AV3000 (talk) 13:25, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The link to NARAL is inappropriate, just as unnecessary as would be a link to National Right to Life Committee, Center for Reproductive and Sexual Health, expert witness or medical malpractice. Thus, the template only has four useful links, and the two films have little to do with the two books, and vice versa. The elements of this template do not refer to each other. Per WP:NENAN, the template does not need to exist. Binksternet (talk) 01:04, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • NARAL link is extremely helpful, since he founded NARAL. – Lionel ^(talk) 05:03, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • He helped form NARAL along with a group of other people—he was not the sole founder. I continue to consider the NARAL link useless to the reader, as it does not connect to Nathanson's books or films. It appears the NARAL link was inserted as filler, to pad the navbox and bring its total number of elements to five. Binksternet (talk) 09:24, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, passes applicable policies. NYyankees51 (talk) 17:25, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• What policies might those be? WP:CLN says "Navigation templates are particularly useful for a small, well-defined group of articles..." How well-defined is a link to NARAL—a group that has never produced an anti-abortion film or book—and two anti-abortion books plus two anti-abortion films? The template is not made up of a "well-defined group of articles" unless NARAL is removed. Once NARAL is removed, the template is too small. Binksternet (talk) 16:30, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Nathanson co-founded NARAL. NYyankees51 (talk) 17:13, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• (weak) Keep: "Extremely useful"? Not really. The NARAL link? Only minor relevance. But even though it's a borderline case of passing policy/guideline/essays, its existence does not a whit of harm to the encyclopedia. AV3000 (talk) 02:12, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• NARAL's "minor relevance" is in relation to Nathanson, not the listed books and films. NARAL is of no relevance to the books and films, and it does not fit in with the guideline at WP:CLN recommending templates be used for well-defined groups of articles. Binksternet (talk) 17:19, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• This more general category would concern Nathanson's life/work as a whole, not exclusively his books and films (e.g. Template:Ronald_Reagan.) However... (followup below) AV3000 (talk) 23:06, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Although I haven't seen the other template, this looks for all the world like an attempt to circumvent consensus by recreating essentially the same template under another name. --Steven J. Anderson (talk) 05:08, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Your argument hinges on a TFD that you didn't even bother to take the time to read even though it was wikilinked above in this very thread! Your accusation of "circumvent consensus" is rude, uncivil and unfounded. The objection raised at the other TFD was that at 2 links it was too small and violated WP:NENAN. A voter there mentioned "per my rule of five." This template is much improved and has 5 links. But wait: you never bothered to click the link and read the other TDF, so how would you know this?

    I hope the closing admin devotes as much effort into evaluating your vote as you did when you posted your vote. – Lionel ^(talk) 00:41, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Shorter Lionelt: I didn't hear that. Recreation of a template deleted only this week. The repeated attempts to shout down, contradict or wikilawyer the comments of others ignores the forest for the trees: navboxes can be useful navigational tools, but should be used in moderation where required rather than used wherever possible. The articles covered by this navbox are already interlinked closely enough to obviate the need for an additional navigational tool, and the presence or absence of a navbox is not to be taken as some sort of judgement on the subject matter.

Template:Big Sky Conference fight song navbox (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I can't help but notice that no other template in the entire Category:American college fight song navigational boxes is nominated for deletion. The fact that this category should be allowed to exist at all seems contrary to Mtking's interpretation of Wikiregulations. I also can't help but notice that Mtking went specifically through only this conference's fight songs and deleted everything (no other conference) despite only three of them being added recently.

• delete, all but one of the links is to a section (often non-existing) in a larger article, so the songs themselves do not appear to be notable enough to have their own articles.

Frietjes (talk) 15:38, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They're no longer existing because the person above selectively deleted them. I notice he's from Australia and also decided some of the oldest and most well-known fight songs in the country were not notable. How is one expected to convince a mass of editors who have no problem accepting every character from Star Trek as notable and who have likely never seen a college football game that fight songs are well-known and of interest to a large portion of the American public?Dsetay (talk) 04:13, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Navboxes that don't go to the pages they imply they go to are not helpful but instead add to the clutter that is Wikipedia. No prejudice to re-create the navbox once the articles for the songs are actually in place.--Paul McDonald (talk) 23:08, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your assessment about avoiding clutter, but I assure you that all these links did lead somewhere before a couple editors arbitrarily decided that fight songs were suddenly "unencyclopedic". Not only is "unencyclopedic" not a word, it is antithetical to the entire purpose of an encyclopedia: "to be a reference work that contains information on all branches of knowledge." Moreover, to claim that songs that are often over a hundred-years old and well-known to tens of thousands of alumni around the world and of interest to many more that they are not notable is equally absurd. I will gladly create and recreate pages to meet common-sense standards so that the links of this template no longer lead to nowhere. However, if a random editor gets to decide that since he's not heard of it then it must not be notable, then what is the point? I could go and suggest deletion for hundreds of manga and star trek characters, but I know that there are people who care about and interested in those things even if I am not. I appreciate the availability of that information that 99.5% of the population will never bother looking up because someone may indeed find that useful. Same goes for the invention of the zipper. How can I be assured that that same editor won't just delete them again out of spite (it's certainly not out of conviction because he quit deleting part-way through), so that I don't waste my time?

• • Just follow policy. There is a deletion review process that would be a good place to start. I don't have time to check into it for the moment, but that should be enough for you to get the ball rolling.--Paul McDonald (talk) 10:48, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, per WP:CLN: 1) navboxes are for links to articles, not article sections, and certainly not duplicate links to the same articles, 2) there should be an article on the subject of the template and 3) the articles should mention the subject of the template. As a navigation tool, the links are misleading and may cause confusion to readers. Lastly, this template is redundant to ((Big Sky Conference navbox)), which has links to all these same articles. — Bility (talk) 23:21, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:PD-TR-Gov (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Highly problematic "public domain" licensing template for Turkey. This template claims that works that have been "declared to be national heritage by the Government of Turkey" are considered to be in the public domain. According to discussion related to the parallel template on Commons (commons:Template:PD-TR), this can only refer to Article 47 of the Turkish Copyright Law (English textTurkish text), which speaks of the possibility that the economic rights to some works may be expropriated if they are relevant to national cultural heritage.

This is problematic on several counts:

• Most images tagged with this template have been tagged totally at random, apparently in the mistaken belief that anything taken from a Turkish government website is PD. Most of these images are plain copyvios.
• Apparently much of the motivation behind the creation of this template has been the belief that there is a general blanket allowance in Turkey for free use of images of Atatürk. While this may be true or not (and many Atatürk photographs are doubtless PD-old-70 anyway), nobody has ever pointed to an actual rule or law to this effect, and wherever this idea comes from, it certainly doesn't follow from anything in the Copyright Law.
• What article 47 does say is that this type of expropriation is valid only for some individual works and that it is done through a formal public decree that must specifically name the work. In not a single case of any image tagged with this template has the uploader given any references to such a decree or otherwise demonstrated that the work in question has been expropriated under this law.
• Even if expropriation could be demonstrated for an individual work, I very much doubt it would amount to a public domain status anyway. What article 47 says is that the Turkish state takes over the economic rights of a work from its owners. It doesn't say it then releases them into the public domain. In fact, it clearly speaks of state agencies continuing to manage these economic rights, and of money that will still be earned from the continued charging of licensing fees. This is about ownership by the state, not about free status.

I propose to delete the template and tag all images as "no license". Some of them may turn out to be PD-old on independent grounds, most of them probably not. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:42, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Template:PD-TR-Gov and replace with Template:PD-TR:

Template:PD-TR-Gov is used incorrectly and arbitrarily in Wikipedia, even in Commons (for example: A, B, C etc.). Its function is partially same with of Template:PD-old-70 (life of the author plus 70 years). But partially different (If the first copyright holder was "juridical person" (non-natural person) the protection period is 70 years from the date of publicity.). About the title of this template, I think Template:PD-TR is more comprehensive. As I've mentioned at the talk page of Turkish Navy, copyrights of governmental institution are protected by copyright low, if it is not specified that they abandoned their properties. The national anthem (İstiklâl Marşı) became a public domain with the special exception amendment in December 2010. (İstiklal Marşı, "kamu malı" oluyor). Some images are public domain not because the holders of copyrights are governmental institution, but simply because of the expiration of a term in accordance with the Turkish copyright low. So Template:PD-TR-Gov is not appropriate. Takabeg (talk) 01:14, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The 70 year expiration rules are actually pretty much identical with those in most other European countries, including the rules for collective and anonymous authorship. We wouldn't need an extra template for that, normal PD-old-70 will do. Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:39, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was userfy to facilitate splitting into multiple, more targeted templates.

Template:Abuse cases (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Nominating for deletion. Template suffers from problems with WP:NPOV and WP:COATRACK. We already have Template:Abuse, which does a good job of providing links to the pages about the various categories of abuse. Those pages, in turn, often carry useful templates or other links about related cases (an example being Template:Bullying). Problems arise when pages about individual cases, that are characterized as being related in some way to one of the sub-categories of abuse, are placed in the template discussed here. For example, the template lists pages such as Suicide of Tyler Clementi as bullying abuse, where editors have a local consensus that the page is not really treated by the available sources as being about what most readers would understand as abuse. In its present state, concerns have been raised that it implies an undue role of Christian denominations in abuse. Much of the present content of the template could perhaps be moved to a new Template:Child sexual abuse cases, but having a catch-all template for all putative abuse cases is unlikely to be workable. According to discussion on the template talkpage, Abuse includes 108 kinds of abuse. If the template is expanded as planned, it could eventually have 108 sections, each with dozens of pages listed, which would be un-navigable. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:13, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The template is certainly overloaded with catholic sex cases - I totally agree i would move them to another template but to complicate matters we already have ((SACC)) and User:Timtrent doesnt agree. Maybe it is an idea to incorporate the catholic sex abuse cases in to ((SACC)) - thinking about it more i think it is the best idea although not ideal, there could be a link from ((Abuse cases)) to ((SACC)) for catholic sex abuse cases. There are not many Wiki articles on proven abuse cases that did not involve catholic sex cases. There are some school articles with sections on child physical abuse scandals which could be included. The idea that all 108 types of abuse listed in Abuse would be represented here is ludicrous. Also the idea that bullying is not abuse is ludicrous - for starters it is listed in abuse. Bullying is a socially defined construct relating to a combination of certain types of abuse such as intimidation.--Penbat (talk) 07:42, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

About "ludicrous", editors may want to look at the template talk page, and at Talk:Suicide of Tyler Clementi. The problem is the WP:CIRCULAR argument that everything that is listed in Abuse is always going to be abuse, regardless of what the sources on the specific incident say. It's true that bullying often is a form of abuse. It's also true, however, that there are shades of gray in how sources do or do not characterize a particular incident as "bullying". It's a false syllogism to go from saying that a page deals with issues relevant to bullying, to concluding that the page is about an "abuse case". And this problem is not specific to bullying. If all 108 types are not to be included in this template, then what are the criteria by which some will be included and others excluded? And what is the need to have this template at all, given that we have Template:Abuse and templates for individual types of abuse cases? --Tryptofish (talk) 16:43, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

IMO the flaws in your argument are self-evident and i thought i already spelt out the main points. Hardly any of the 108 abuses have their own templates. Many abuses such as "teasing", "taunting", "insulting" and "rudeness" dont actually break any laws are hardly likely to have an accompanying proven notable legal case for which somebody has written a Wikipedia article on. For there to be a link in this template not only does there have to be a proven notable legal case but also somebody has to have written a Wiki article on it. The number of suitable articles which dont involve catholic sex cases are few and far between and likely to remain so. As for suicides relating to bullying, laws may also not have been broken but the legal enquiry would have established that bullying or abuse took place.--Penbat (talk) 07:29, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At this point, we have heard from the nominator for deletion (me) and the creator of the template. We need to hear from other editors now. --Tryptofish (talk) 15:52, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Timtrent has had a major involvement in this template and deserves a say. I have put a link to here on his talk page but he hasnt been online for a while. --Penbat (talk) 16:08, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Split, narrow the focus, or delete. The template is too broad. It is not clear that there is enough in common between prison abuse and child sexual abuse (for instance) that one would really be likely to navigate from one to the other. Such broad categories are better handled by the categories system.

The section on ((Sexual abuse cases in Roman Catholic Church)) should be split into a separate template. One user above expressed concern about relation to ((Sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church)), however there appears to be very little overlap. (Or one might consider splitting into a template on child sexual abuse cases. Have one section for Roman Catholic, and one section for everything else.)

For the other abuse portion - If there are coherent subsections, they could be split into separate templates, otherwise just delete that portion. Zodon (talk) 07:53, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - far, far too broad to be of use as a navigational template. Even if it were just limited to child abuse in religious organisations (which I expect was the original intention of the template), it would still arguably be too broad. We already have a template for the Catholic child abuse cases, which are the most significant subset of this template; we don't need this one, which links in various tangentially-related cases in a presumed misguided attempt at neutrality.

Template:Madame Kovarian stories (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

she appears in two main stories, the rest just cameos. Notable to series 6 but is not like the Daleks or River Song (yet if she reappears. Big crystal ball for the template thus now), frequently reoccuring and important etc. At time of nominating only on one article and that's the characters page. Globalwheels (talk) 21:55, 2 October 2011 (UTC)))[reply]

• Delete Totally unnecessary, a recurring character but not relevant enough for this (not to mention her significant appearances are all River Song stories. U-Mos (talk) 07:00, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Redundant as the text mentions all relevant stories, minor character. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.45.34.179 (talk) 10:18, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - there are too many of these 'Doctor Who stories' templates already, meaning some episodes have a whole stack of them at the bottom. I really don't think one is needed for this character, who only plays a major role in a couple of episodes. Robofish (talk) 11:22, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:VIVA Stations (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Mostly red links to articles deleted here and here or redirects to Other Vivastations, which is also nominated for deletion. Secondarywaltz (talk) 16:39, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 20:46, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• comment: Although it is mostly redlinks, it does still have a considerable number of live links (non-redirects)? Are the rest of the articles going to be deleted? Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 20:46, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• All of the non red links and non redirects that it navigates are covered by the Template:YRT Terminals. Sorry not to clarify that before. Secondarywaltz (talk) 21:37, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Delete This template now only has live links to York Region Transit bus terminals which, as noted above, are connected by their own navigation template. Secondarywaltz (talk) 16:04, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:WCISD (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Very small rural school district with three schools. I just consolidated the three school articles into the district article. There's now only one related article. WhisperToMe (talk) 13:55, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete since the three links all redirect to the same page. Dynamic|cimanyD (contact me ⁞ my edits) 22:51, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Husqvarna motorcycles (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

No changes to this template since it was created over two years ago. All the articles remain red links as none of the listed articles have been created. Given that this two year old template points absolutely nowhere I don't see what value it adds to Wikipedia. Biker Biker (talk) 06:46, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
