Template:User young child (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This is no reason why a young editor should put a userbox stating they are a young child (currently this says "<11") per WP:CHILD and WP:GFYA. It's at best endangering their privacy, often says no more than what is obvious from the user's behavior, and usually we RevDel/OS a minor's self-outing edits (especially one below eleven years of age). /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 17:41, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Unnecessary duplicate template. We have a comprehensive one already at {{India topics}}, and maintaining two is just not necessary. —SpacemanSpiff 19:13, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

hello,Some of the pages related to India are so long that navigation becomes somewhat tough when one is at the near top of the article(one need to come to top end of the article for navigation from the first template).Instead this template at the helps for this.and regarding maintenance i assure that i will be responsible for maintenance.so please i request you not to delete the template considering the ease of navigation and all other factors.thank you - SunilShamnur talk 06:45, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Social psychology in textual context (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Infobox mobile suit (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Purely in-universe content, used solely on articles which are themselves purely in-universe content. {{Infobox fictional artifact}} should be adequate if an infobox is really necessary on these articles. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 12:42, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep If the issue is the number of in-universe fields, that should be discussed for which fields should be removed. If the issue is that the aritcles that the template appears on are "purely in-universe", then the articles should be either fixed or merged into their respective lists. However, the infobox has a decent mix of in-universe and real life information. Also, {{Infobox fictional artifact}} is not a good replacement for this templates because other than the "creator" and "first appearance" fields, none of the other fields match up and simply don't apply. I'll also note that as a major contributor to this template, I was not notified nor were the relevant WikiProjects notified either. —Farix (t | c) 03:20, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • In my opinion the "creator" and "first appearance" attributes are the only real-world statistics covered by the template; the rest is in-universe trivia. That the articles which use this template need cleaned up is intertwined with the rationale for deleting this template, but it is certainly not a prerequisite. Indeed, the deletion of the template would go some way to highlighting quite how little real-world material these articles contain, as the presence of an infobox confers an artificial authority on the trivia contained within. As for not being notified, I use Twinkle to nominate XfDs and I believe it only notifies the template author. The {{tfd}} banner is supposed to serve as adequate notice for other interested parties, and I don't believe there was anything untoward about assuming that would work here.

  • Comment {{infobox fictional artifact}} seems to be solely focused on TV shows, with a fig-leaf for non-TV subjects. As fictional artifacts occur in things other than TV shows, or could originate elsewhere, and are used elsewhere, this seems somewhat poorly built. It seems as though it should be renamed to a TV specific name, and another template built for non-TV subjects, or more-than-TV subjects. 65.95.14.96 (talk) 22:15, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep It is used on a number of articles. [1] It contains information which another infobox does not. If those knowledgeable in this series, and who have worked on these articles, believe this infobox is better for their usage than another one, then so be it.
