- Why is it not redundant to {{selfref}}, which doesn't inappropriately use the sisterlink format? Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 11:57, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm not sure it is inappropriate to use it that way, since it is functionally "sister"ing non-content space in content space material. 70.24.251.208 (talk) 12:50, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - "Sister project" has a quite specific meaning in this context. The [[Wikipedia:]] namespace is not a sister project. We already have {{selfref}} for those (few) occasions where references to projectspace may be (sparingly) inserted into articles in an unobtrusive manner. We do not need another one, and the choice is not helpful. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 13:54, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and maintain the {{historical}} tag.

Keep Template lists one band, four musicians, two albums and one song. This is three more links than WP:NENAN requires for a navbox. None of the artists have links to "So Far So Good" on their pages, and two of the artists do not have links to the albums on their articles either.--Jax 0677 (talk) 15:07, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Placing "See also" sections on all of the articles related to "Thornley" would be cumbersome to maintain and update. Though I think this template should be kept, since it does provide navigation, at a minimum, a template for Ian Thornley should replace this template.--Jax 0677 (talk) 18:37, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Full disclosure: I created the template. One or two additional links will be added to the template later this year as AFF is releasing another studio album.
