Template:Infobox Hercaverse and Xenaverse character (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Inappropriate, overly in-universe and non-neutral show specific infobox template already better served by the fuller, more universal, and more real-world focused Template:Infobox character -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 16:24, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If this is deleted then I suggest that other similar infoboxes, such as the Buffy and Angel infobox are also deleted as these can also use the infobox character template.--NeilEvans (talk) 16:33, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A reasonable suggestion, although different templates typically deserve individual consideration (unless they are very closely related to one another) because not every situation is the same. --RL0919 (talk) 17:12, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and replace with {{Infobox character}}. The more general template appears to have everything this one does except the "good/evil" color coding, which is dubious for NPOV. As with some other situations we've been discussing recently, this is unnecessary fragmentation where it would be better to standardize. --RL0919 (talk) 17:12, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and replace with {{Infobox character}} per RL0919. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 21:40, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm tempted to say convert to a shell - the layout for the contents of the 'box is essentially the same as Infobox character; using a shell limits, as appears to be the intents, what fields are in use; and converting can clear up the NPOV issue and add in the "show" in one fell swoop. It also gives the editors looking after the Xena/Hercules characters an option for a unified 'box color, something the TV project does allow for. - J Greb (talk) 23:35, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I suggest turning this template into a wrapper template, that way redundant information can be removed, but in-universe "flavor" could be kept. --23prootie (talk) 18:12, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox He-Man/She-Ra character (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unnecessary and inappropriate show specific infobox; Already better served by the fuller and more real-world focused Template:Infobox character without the excessively heavy in-universe aspect. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 16:22, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and replace with generic charater infobox. Nothing about He-Man is so special that it requires separate mark-up/fields. --EEMIV (talk) 19:19, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment while I agree the "good/evil/ambiguous" thing is not the best idea, we are looking at 100+ characters that straddle animated television shows. toys, comics, and, for a few, film. If there is an intent to include information related to the toys - run/wave/packaging title, standard accessories, variants, original manufacturer, etc - an split up the genre specific material, then a specific infobox is warranted. Even if that 'box is a shell with limited parameters that calls Infobox character, which may not be possible depending on the 'box lay out desired. If what's currently there is the be-all and end-all of what's going into the infobox, converting it to a shell seems a better idea than redirecting. I'm sorry, I'm not a fan of telling a group of editors "Add lbl# to all the articles to account for what isn't in, and likely won't be added to the generic template. And change 'whatever' to data#. And if more characters come along (remember, revivals can and do happen) just try to remember this is how to add the information." - J Greb (talk) 23:22, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- maybe this can be remedied by turning it into a wrapper template?--23prootie (talk) 18:10, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete per T3 as unnecessary navigation for only one album. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 05:45, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:The Shells (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unnecessary navigational template: This band has only one album, the members do not have articles, the label doesn't have an article (recently speedied), and I have put the band themselves up for AfD. Even if it passes AfD, there's no need for a navigational template with only one link in it. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 11:21, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Pretty typical case of a navbox without enough articles to justify it. --RL0919 (talk) 13:52, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - "underpopulated navbox" for speedy, anyone? 81.111.114.131 (talk) 00:28, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
