Template:MTV Movie Award for Best Song from a Movie (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Non-notable award. It wasn't even given out for almost a decade. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:12, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Content could (should?) be rolled into a meta-template with a larger scope if one exists. //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 23:49, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per Blaxthos. Doc Quintana (talk) 03:31, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There is no realistic merge target for this. {{MTV Movie Awards}}} exists, but it does not link to individual winners. A few of the (presumably) more prominent awards have their own navboxes, while the rest of the awards just have list articles without a corresponding navbox. --RL0919 (talk) 01:27, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:George Strait 2010s singles (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Only one song so far. Most country music artists release only three or four singles a year at the most, so it would take a while for this navbox to get populated enough. Until he has enough songs for a 2010s template, the 2000s template can be amended to include any 2010s releases as has been done at Template:Reba McEntire 2000s-2010s singles. (Note that Strait has so many singles that they don't all fit on one template, so division by decade is necessary.) Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 20:34, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Denaun Porter (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unuseful template that contains only three links related directly to the subject. Karppinen (talk) 17:50, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Only three links actually about this specific person, and two of those are discographies that should probably be merged into the main article. Most of the rest are for the group D12, which has its own template. --RL0919 (talk) 03:25, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Huge template full of redlinks to non-notable persons and nonexistent articles. With only three or four possible articles, there is no need to have such a complex and large template. /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 15:28, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Not enough working links to justify a navbox; company and product articles are already well-linked to one another. --RL0919 (talk) 17:09, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I agree with nominator, it has little potential to fill all those redlinks. - Ahunt (talk) 18:13, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:UCFD has been merged into WP:CFD for a while now, and these templates are no longer used or needed. Note that each is a redirect to a subpage under Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/User/Template, but due to the limitations of TFD templates the links have to be to template namespace. So to clarify I'm proposing deletion of the templates themselves, not just these redirects. Jafeluv (talk) 10:30, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Nonsense, unused. Uses a parser function called #thevaletman, that doesn't exist. The Evil IP address (talk) 08:09, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That was changed just a week ago by an IP. Jafeluv (talk) 10:42, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
But it wouldn't work either if we reverted it to the creator's version. #WETitle is a non-existing parser function as well. --The Evil IP address (talk) 13:14, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like this template is used over at Wikieducator, and was copied here. I'm pretty sure the code that's used there works here as well, so if we decide we need such a shortcut for {{DISPLAYTITLE}} I guess the code could be copied here. The point of the template is shortening a subpage title, so that for example User:Jafeluv/Sandbox would display just "Sandbox" as the title, and it could be used as a shortcut to the magic word as well.

Subst/delete - a series of single-use templates, except for the Light Rail, which is used in two articles, and probably should be single-use. Not sure if I've tagged them all, so don't be surprised to see the list grow slightly. 81.111.114.131 (talk) 06:09, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive and an uncivil title Fred the Oyster (talk) 00:58, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It is no longer in use. Tom Ruen (talk) 21:16, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - What is the point in saying that an image is "fine the way it is?" I would think this is the default state. Are we going to tag every image as being fine? Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 01:41, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
My purpose would be to have a template to MARK my own images to avoid getting tagged with Template:ShouldBeSVG. If adding my smiley face template can protect me from being annoyed, that's a good thing. Tom Ruen (talk) 01:45, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
A couple of points of order. Your images? You gave them away by adding them to the public domain. And secondly, what is wrong with 'your' images being either converted to svg or you producing them in that format in the first place? As those images are now in the public domain it's perfectly acceptable to request that they be converted by the use of tags. This smacks of WP:POINT, so I'd put that forward as another reason to delete this facetious template. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 03:30, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
YEP, they are MY images not in the sense of POSSESSION, but in terms of RESPONSIBILITY. There's no one else who's gonna reproduce them independent of me, or not any time soon, so they're my responsibility to improve at my convenience, and I don't need annoying "SHOULD" templates on then. If you'd like to suggest a rename on the template, that's fine, but my point stands. I'll be glad to add a template on all FUTURE PNG images I upload until its convenient to upload as SVG, and that's my problem not yours, and if you see my template, perhaps you'll leave me alone! Right? Tom Ruen (talk) 04:29, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
p.s. While you're wasted time, how about debugging the SVG encoders so this little old 2.8Meg SVG   file renders, compared to my 200k PNG version  . Thanks! Tom Ruen (talk) 04:33, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The {{ShouldbeSVG}} is the same as the {{Vectorize}}, but I suppose you wouldn't like that as being too abrupt. You should read up on public domain. Once released there it is neither your responsibility nor anyone else's. If you don't want to be 'bothered' with other people's suggestions then I suggest you either choose another licence or reconsider what it means to be working in a collaborative project. As for mediaWiki's inability to render SVGs properly, what does that have to do with anything? The images you created are in the public domain for perpetuity so who's to say the renderer won't be fixed at some point in the future? Oh, and just in case you were interested I have had no input whatsoever in either of the vectorize templates, either in writing them or choosing their names. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 15:50, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I don't see any reason to have this template. There's no reason to tell everyone the image is fine. –Grondemar 04:32, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. You're going to tag images you uploaded with a template thanking yourself for uploading them, in order to discourage other editors from tagging them with a meaningful template that you disagree with? Seems rather WP:POINT-y, with a helping of WP:OWN. --RL0919 (talk) 04:42, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Yep, preemptive communication! Very kind! Tom Ruen (talk) 04:50, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. that's my problem not yours Incorrect. They cease to become your (possession, responsibility, and problem) the moment you upload them. --Kbdank71 16:37, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    That's nonsense. I create the "imperfect" images. I'm adding to the articles. I care about the quality of the images and articles. I encourage others to help improve the articles and images. You have absolutely nothing to do with this process. Tom Ruen (talk) 20:15, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    If you honestly believe that is nonsense, I suggest you read WP:OWN. Even if you create the images and add them to articles, etc, they are not yours. --Kbdank71 20:29, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I said above "YEP, they are MY images not in the sense of POSSESSION, but in terms of RESPONSIBILITY." Tom Ruen (talk) 20:52, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    You released them to the public domain, so no, they aren't your responsibility. Whoever wants to work on them can, and that includes adding a template that the image should be SVG. --Kbdank71 22:02, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, what do I release them under to keep away the bullshit templates? How about a "leave me and my images alone for 12 months while I'm in progress licensing?" Tom Ruen (talk) 22:17, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If the template I placed on those images is "bullshit" I suggest you fill out a TfD. At least you know where to go... and the likely response you'll get. Alternatively you can quit trying to make a point and go back to making your complicated, but "imperfect" images. As for your suggestion that I should get a life, well may I suggest you re-read what you have written above then place a mirror between your monitor and and chair and ask yourself if what you are doing now is living life to the full. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 22:24, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
