December 10

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

The result of the debate was keep. This is currently unused in the mainspace, but consensus here is that is may be useful in the future, and it may actually be better than the alternatives. Per [1], deleting and restoring later is not a good idea. --- RockMFR 03:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:UK light rail (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Template is unused, and merely duplicates the contents of Template:Britishmetros and Template:UK Tram Systems. — David Arthur (talk) 23:28, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How come? The other templates pre-date this one (Britishmetros is three years older), and use terminology more familiar in British discourse (‘light rail’ for tram is technical jargon outside the United States). David Arthur (talk) 20:48, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I’d say it meets both points 2 and 3 on WP:TfD. David Arthur (talk) 20:48, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment to Keep Like what Maser said above, I think that this template is a bit better than Template:Britishmetros and Template:UK Tram Systems. Both of these could be merged into one template because they show relativlety the same thing. As for the name Light Rail we could easily change it to Local rail transport in the United Kingdom, UK tram systems or anything else we can come up with. It doesn't matter how much history another template has, if there's a better and more productive template that doesn't just highlight metros (which is also an american saying David Arthur) or trams but showcases all and proposed systems. And also I don't belive that this template does satisfy 2 on WP:TfD as the British metros template is redundant to this better-designed/looking template; And we can easily change 3 which is The template is not used, either directly or with template substitution Pafcool2 (talk) 16:05, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Pafcool2 above. This template actually seems better than its two competitors linked above ('British metros' and 'UK Tram Systems') by uniting them into one slightly-nicer-looking template. It may have been seen by the nominator as a redundant template, but I would argue those other two templates are in fact redundant to this one. Terraxos (talk) 05:28, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I identified this template as the redundant one based on the fact that the others a) are actually used and b) have existed for significantly longer; Britishmetros was created in 2003, and has been edited by many more people, whereas UK light rail has been edited only by its creator apart from my addition of the deletion tag. David Arthur (talk) 22:31, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Does it really matter how long a template has been on Wikipedia and how many people have edited it. It's not a contest David Arthur, as what I am saying is that the TfD could easily be reverted. For instance I wrote this earlier: As for the name Light Rail we could easily change it to Local rail transport in the United Kingdom, UK tram systems or anything else we can come up with. It doesn't matter how much history another template has, if there's a better and more productive template that doesn't just highlight metros (which is also an american saying David) or trams but showcases all and proposed systems.

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

Delete per WP:NOT#MANUAL. This infobox may do more harm than good, but that's not the main point. It is clearly intended as a guide or manual (with text such as: "As always, use discretion when consuming wild mushrooms. Read mushroom hunting and mushroom poisoning, and rely on the advice of an expert if you are new."), and as such violates Wikipedia policy. — Lampman (talk) 17:19, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong keep - First, this template's main function is to display common characteristics which by mushrooms are identified/sorted. Second, the text in question is 1) not in main namespace and 2) is not transcluded to the pages the template is included on. If it's a problem it could be removed from the template, but to put the entire template up for deletion is overkill. Finally, this template does not meet any of the four points listed at WP:NOT#MANUAL, so I believe that this is an improper listing. אמר Steve Caruso 19:36, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I'm biased (creator) - but I don't think you get the point of the template. It displays characteristics of mushrooms used in taxonomy and phylogenetic classification. These are also used for IDing wild mushrooms. The disclaimer-like texts can be removed. I have been opposed to them at various points anyways. And as Steve Caruso points out, it violates not a single criterion at WP:NOT#MANUAL. de Bivort 19:47, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep - as per preceding. Its descriptive only, there is nothing how-to about it.cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 22:53, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Template is descriptive and encyclopedic. Maser (Talk!) 02:12, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I noticed this template up for deletion while reviewing Amanita_ocreata for GA. The template contains descriptive information about mushrooms; there's nothing how-to about it, as far as I can tell (I'm willing to listen to arguments to the contrary, though). One thing: I wish this template could be resized to the size of the taxobox above it. It would be so much sleeker that way. But a deletion seems unnecessary. Firsfron of Ronchester 03:10, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as very helpful to the article. If it needs re-phrasing, that should be taken up separately. --Czj (talk) 20:17, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Yorkshire county (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Single-use fork of Template:Infobox England historic county. Any fields that are unique to this template are/can be included in the original. — MRSCTalk 07:58, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep, not only is the other template completely crap but Yorkshire has a very different situation to many other historic counties and thus needs more information and sections which require a different template (such as the Ridings which others don't have and places which succeeded it). If MRSC can find a way to change the "England historic county" template in a way which would encompass those things and look exactly like the Yorkshire one first then I would reconsider my position and support a merge, but at the moment the England one is amateurish and isn't good enough or an improval on this one (I tried to change the England one but it didn't really work). - Yorkshirian (talk) 08:09, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This seems like a potentially useful template to me - and as Yorkshirian notes, it's arguably better than the 'Infobox England historic county' one. If nothing else, it's a harmless alternative with a little extra information. Terraxos (talk) 22:45, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
