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

Record label rosters and catalogues unsuitable for navbox inclusion per longstanding consensus and precedent. See Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2012 September 28#Record label templates and many other discussions. --wooden superman 09:06, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

delete since Category:Monstercat artists and Monstercat#Artists does a better job listing the artists. however, I could see keeping it if we refocused it to be only about the Monstercat compilations. Frietjes (talk) 16:12, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Frietjes: A category also exists for the compilations: Category:Monstercat compilation albums. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk • contribs) 16:19, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - and we have Category:Now That's What I Call Music! albums + Template:NOW music albums and Category:Totally Hits + Template:Totally Hits and Category:Hits (compilation series) albums + Template:Hits music albums. we don't delete all templates just because there is a category. as I said, I could see refactoring it. no strong opinion in this regard.

Delete - I would vote Keep if we didn't have Category:Monstercat artists and Category: Monstercat albums. But since we have those two categories, which are a better alternative to the template, we shouldn't have two different things that serve the same function.

Delete per above, with no prejudice against creating a navbox for the compilations per Freitjes. The categories do excellent at listing artists associated with the label as well as songs and albums. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk • contribs) 17:02, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Would serve no purpose other than to show compilation albums which does not justify the need for a label's navbox. Lazz_R 20:54, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
