Template:Al Smith series (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unnecessary template that just clutters the page. Everything linked here can be accessed via Al Smith. See WP:NENAN. Walk Like an Egyptian (talk) 23:34, 13 March 2019 (UTC) Edit: Will withdraw this nomination if anyone can add more substance to this template, particularly in the Governor of New York section. --Walk Like an Egyptian (talk) 23:22, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The point of politician templates is so that you do not NEED to read through the article to access related content. It acts essentially like a page guide on the subject. By deleting all of these political templates you are proposing you are not improving user's experience/interface with these articles, you are lessening it. You decrease the topic's direct navigability to users who prefer not to embark on a scavanger hunt through the main article to find related pages.SecretName101 (talk) 23:59, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please combine deletions of politician templates you have proposed to delete to decrease redundency of seperate conversations.SecretName101 (talk) 00:02, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that these should be consolidated. None of them are based on any Wikipedia policies, and for that reason they should be speedily closed. Brendon the Wizard ✉️ ✨ 20:16, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bad idea, each template might have a different result. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gonnym (talk • contribs) 07:22, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This template is really bad. It is used on only 4 out of the 26 articles it lists so it fails in its sole purpose of navigation. --Gonnym (talk) 07:22, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Links to these articles aren't elsewhere conveniently collected like in this sidebar. Perhaps it could do with some pruning. --Bsherr (talk) 18:52, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - seeing as how none of the comments are actually about the specific template but about the general issue, I'll also post about this in general. This sidebar navigation templates are not limited to one per page at the top of the page. This causes the page layout to be unnecessarily cramped. Now since this also follow (or should follow as some of these templates fail) WP:BIDIRECTIONAL, they are placed on pages which they link to. So if we take 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries as an example, we have the following currently available templates that should be placed here at the same section - {{Donald Trump series}}, {{John Kasich series}}, {{Jeb Bush series}}, {{Rand Paul series}} and {{Rick Perry series}}, with 11 more possible templates that are yet to be created. There is a reason these navigation templates are placed at the bottom of the page. --Gonnym (talk) 12:54, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Gonnym: WP:BIDI is a principle, not a requirement. If it was required, we would have to nominate {{George Washington series}}, {{Abraham Lincoln series}}, and most of Category:United States political leader sidebars for deletion. Series would be unnecessarily limited ({{George Washington series}} could not include Valley Forge) and as you say, articles would be unnecessarily burdened (if every election results article included sidebars for each candidate). If a sidebar cramps an article, it can be removed or discussed. --Tvc 15 (talk) 22:35, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - Please don't spam ping me again. Especially if you comment the same exact thing. BIDI is not a principle, it is the basis to how good navigation works (and also a guideline). You allow the user to navigate between a set of articles that all share the navigation tool. A bottom navigation template helps solves all and any issue of both BIDI and the mass of templates, as it allows, A) the templates to be placed in a non-intrusive place, at the bottom, and B) it allows to group templates and collapse them. Side bars don't allow any of that, so you either don't place them, which then fails to navigate, or you place them, which then spams them, as can be seen in some election articles. Also, it would be useful if you and the others start actually commenting on the actual template being nominated instead of keep bringing up different templates for your examples. --Gonnym (talk) 08:38, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No deletion is an island. Deletions frequently set precedents. It is valid to use other templates as examples of how the principle/premise upon which this (or other template deletion proposals) are perhaps flawed, and the ramifications potential precedents would have on the existence of similar templates. SecretName101 (talk) 17:36, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As per SecretName101 and TheSubmarine, this series is beneficial to navigation. This series is especially helpful because it is the only template, category, list, etc. organizing Al Smith-related topics. Even if a separate Al Smith category or template existed, this is not a valid reason for deletion as per Wikipedia:NOTDUPE: "These systems of organizing information are considered to be complementary, not inappropriately duplicative." Let's WP:IMPROVEIT rather than delete. --Tvc 15 (talk) 22:03, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - only 4 of those links mention him - Andrew Yang, Andrew Yang 2020 presidential campaign, 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries and Venture for America. A bit short for a navigation template. Also, no reason to have this as a side bar. --Gonnym (talk) 07:27, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. As per TheSubmarine, political leader sidebars are helpful to navigation in general. However, this sidebar is short and many of its articles are loosely related to Yang.

- Zackmann: as per WP:NOTDUPE, "[t]hese systems of organizing information are considered to be complementary, not inappropriately duplicative." The sidebar being duplicative of another template is not a valid reason for deletion. --Tvc 15 (talk) 23:48, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  Tvc 15, you are misreading WP:NOTDUPE. That is discussing the use of both Categories AND Navigation templates. Having both on a page is not duplication. However, having 2 navigation templates that cover the same material, is duplication. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 00:02, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If it was required, we would have to nominate {{George Washington series}}, {{Abraham Lincoln series}}, and most of Category:United States political leader sidebars for deletion. Series would be unnecessarily limited ({{George Washington series}} could not include Valley Forge) and as you say, articles would be unnecessarily burdened (if every election results article included sidebars for each candidate).

  - Please don't spam ping me again. Especially if you comment the same exact thing. BIDI is not a principle, it is the basis to how good navigation works (and also a guideline). You allow the user to navigate between a set of articles that all share the navigation tool. A bottom navigation template helps solves all and any issue of both BIDI and the mass of templates, as it allows, A) the templates to be placed in a non-intrusive place, at the bottom, and B) it allows to group templates and collapse them. Side bars don't allow any of that, so you either don't place them, which then fails to navigate, or you place them, which then spams them, as can be seen in some election articles. Also, it would be useful if you and the others start actually commenting on the actual template being nominated instead of keep bringing up different templates for your examples. --Gonnym (talk) 08:38, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

At no point did anyone say that WP:NENAN WAS a policy. So every WP:!VOTE you cast is basically you just saying "keep because I say so"...

  @Zackmann08: So it's not spam to flag over a dozen templates for deletion without any policy reason to do so? I was initially addressing these individually (see the Jill Stein nomination) by noting how it is of no benefit to the readers to delete these, but then I realized every last nomination is verbatim copied-and-pasted. Your criticism is very, very asymmetrical; perhaps I wouldn't have posted the same reply a dozen times if they didn't post the same nomination text a dozen times? There was no case made that it was either (a) necessary (b) beneficial to delete helpful navboxes; what "concerns" am I supposed to address when they've not raised any that would offer grounds for wholesale deletion, something that should - in all cases - be a last resort, something that should only be done when it's either mandatory per Wikipedia policy or demonstrably in the readers' best interests? I'm speaking from personal experience as a reader first and editor second when I say that I've found these navboxes very useful when looking for articles covering these public figures. Spare me the comments such as "you're basically just saying 'because I say so'" - that's simply made-up nonsense. Am I supposed to counter that it "clutters the page?" The burden is on the one making the claim that it is, which they've not substantiated. Is it an issue that their main BLP articles include links to the contents of their series templates? No. That's the entirety of each and every one of these nominations. That entire reply struck me as being very disingenuous. Lastly, I "don't understand what an essay is?" Aside from the obvious WP:NPA there, in what way does it demonstrate the ignorance of an editor to point out how essays don't hold the same weight as guidelines? There's an argument to be made that referring only to an unvetted opinion as grounds for deletion is equivalent to simply referring to one's own editing philosophy as grounds for deletion, which would be a more literal "because I say so" vote.

Total nonsense. The data is not on the 2017–18 Eredivisie page. There is a reference to template on that page which causes the data to be displayed on this page. The whole concept of this structure is exactly meant to avoid presence of double data. Someone not understanding modules and templates is one thing. An administrator not understanding this concept and proposing templates for deletion is sad. --Sb008 (talk) 21:00, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sb008: so many things wrong with what you just said... First of all, if you ACTUALLY look at 2017–18_Eredivisie#Results you will see that it DOES NOT call {{2017–18 Eredivisie results}}. (Per haps you are confusing 2018–19 Eredivisie??). The 2017-18 page directly invokes Module:Sports results. Before you respond go and actually look at the code... I assure you that you are mistaken. As for not understanding modules and templates... I've got a pretty darn good grasp on them, you are simply mistaken. Finally, I'm not an administrator. Not sure where you got that from, but I am most certainly NOT an admin, that is pretty clearly stated on my userpage. If you are going to throw around accusations and no WP:AGF at the very least check your facts bud. --Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 21:04, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sb008: by making this edit you are first acknowledging that you were completely wrong with your multiple accusations. Second, you are gaming a TFD which is a violation of policy. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 21:09, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Frietjes, would it be fair to say that the thread you linked to applies to a number of the other TFDs above? Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 21:24, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Zackmann08, probably so. from my reading of that thread, there is general consensus to merge all of the league tables and league results with the articles, and even stronger consensus when the tables are used in 2 or fewer articles. unless someone starts a new threat at WT:FOOTY and finds a new consensus, this is the most recent discussion on the issue. when merging, my preference is to include editor attribution in the edit summary as I have done with all that I have merged. Frietjes (talk) 21:37, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Frietjes, Stellar! Thank you much! Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 21:37, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Zackmann08 and Frietjes: Okay, seems I jumped to some conclusions to quick and was wrong. So at this spot my apologies as well. But I like to mention 2 things in my defense. First, it would have helped if there had been a reference to the footy thread in the comment field of the change on the 2017–18 Eredivisie page. Second, the footy thread mentions, as a major reason for the change, vandalism going unnoticed. I can add whatever page to my watch list but never get a notification if the page changes, unless I'm the one who created the page. The 2017–18 Eredivisie page is on my watch list. If I would have gotten notifications at time of the change, it would have helped. --Sb008 (talk) 22:09, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox NRHP (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Infobox historic site (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Infobox NRHP with Template:Infobox historic site.
These two templates both deal with historic places (per this template's lead). Most of the parameters are already present in {{Infobox historic site}} and the few specific parameters can use the custom parameters available. At the very least {{Infobox NRHP}} should be made into a wrapper, so visually infoboxes on articles about similar subjects will look the same (A US NRHP historic site vs a US non-NRHP site), editors will have an easier time editing as the parameter functions and names will be the same, and maintenance will require less work. As an example of a current maintenance issue - pages using NRHP are placed in Category:Wikipedia page with obscure subdivision, while pages using the other template are not. Fixing or updating the same issue in two different places is a waste of time and resources. Gonnym (talk) 09:45, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom (if that fails to find consensus, then make a wrapper). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:34, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, so long as it addresses the aforementioned issues in a smart way that does not detract from the current format. Pursued as a more general wrapper this would also make it easier to work with state and city designations such as New York City Landmarks, as well as other designations like a "Cultural Resource" by the Massachusetts Historic Commission, both of which have overlap with NHRP but are not automatically under the NHRP banner.--Simtropolitan (talk) 16:33, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This template is used in over 65,000 places. Is it really appropriate to use editor time to make this change, particularly since apparently "custom parameters" will have to be used in some (many?) cases? Also, as one who has written or edited hundreds of NRHP articles, I dispute "editors will have an easier time editing" -- I have very rarely, perhaps never, used the other template. . Jim . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:32, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Among other things, the template conveys the fact that it's listed on this heritage register, versus others (particularly state and local), which has a significant effect on real-world and on-wiki notability; it's important to convey to bots that this is the case, and reducing it to an implementation of the other will reduce that effect. As these sites are distinctly not the same as other historic sites, causing these infoboxes to have a similar appearance is harmful. Moreover, some of the other template's parameters make no sense with this one. Consider |type= for example — with NRHP sites, the only types are building, site, structure, object, and district, yet we're encouraged to use |type= for "burial mound" or "church" in the historic site infobox's documentation. We've previously rejected |governing body= because it has a technical meaning that's thoroughly useless for Wikipedia articles about NRHP sites (the only options are Federal, State, Local, and Private), so anything else is wrong, and supporting the parameter is outright problematic because it encourages people to supply information that's either wrong or irrelevant. Finally, bear in mind that this is extensively used, and you need to prove that it's going to make things easier before making an entirely unsupported claim: those of us who use it are not likely to find it easy to transition to using a different template, especially if we're going to have to add parameters of some sort to ensure that it continue to be distinct from other infoboxes. Nyttend (talk) 22:48, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose., per Nyttend, and if I recall, articles on historic sites in other countries still have their own infoboxes. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 04:56, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose., templates aren't my area but I do use "historic site" extensively, for buildings throughout the UK. To me, it's the best for including historic listing (records) information. The NHRP site appears to be wholly-country specific, i.e. the USA, and thus none/few of the parameters that it would require would be useful for the British buildings I cover. KJP1 (talk) 09:16, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I am not persuaded by the proposal to merge and I see no reason to make it a wrapper. Properties in the US that have more than one historical designation (NRHP, state, local) can easily use the NRHP infobox and include the other designations. Those who have a state and/or local designation only can use the general infobox, which visually shows the differences. There is also a certain distinction that goes with being listed on the national register and I think the NRHP infobox makes the designation stand out. It is also a US-specific register so the infobox doesn't need to reflect those of other counties. Finally, there is a dedicated group of editors who work on the various NRHP pages on Wikipedia and maintain the infobox to the detriment of no other country or groups that make historic designations. Farragutful (talk) 18:07, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose These templates are widely used (the transclusion count tool seems to be missing atm) and there would need to be a detailed proposal that included typical before-and-after usage rather than a vague suggestion to use custom parameters for anything missing.

Oppose I've been successfully combining "Infobox NRHP" with "Infobox military structure" (as at Fort Delaware) and this should be possible with other templates. The auto-link to the NRHP database is very useful for those sites that are in it. Agree with WP:BROKE RobDuch (talk) 15:42, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I believe there are over 70k transclusions of this template which is very specific to US historic listings with many variations to handle individual listings, districts, contributing properties, boundary expansions, etc. It is already relatively complicated and I see no benefit to the suggested merge. MB 23:40, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As some of the other project editors have mentioned, WikiProject National Register of Historic Places has done a lot of work to make Infobox NRHP more useful: getting the parameters just right, support for embedding and various edge cases, adding automatic links to listing pages, creating automatic infobox generators, etc. The supporters seem to have barely acknowledged this, much less come up with a plan for how Infobox historic site could be tweaked to meet those needs.
