[edit] Edward II of England infobox

Infoboxes are not encyclopedia articles and should not be in the article space. This is a bad precedent -- do we want infoboxes on every person, every species, every planet/moon/asteroid in the article space? RickK 07:41, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete -- article space is not the template space. - Longhair | Talk 07:48, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
• Please see the article's discussion page. Eixo 08:13, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into Edward II of England and delete. - Andre Engels 09:47, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Agree with RickK. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:00, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect into Edward II of England. JYolkowski // talk 13:59, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Article space is not the template space. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 16:39, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
• Mislocated. Move to template space. If it's no use list it on WP:TFD. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 18:17, 7 May 2005 (UTC) Delete, it's utterly pointless. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 22:26, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
• Move, as Tony suggests. James F. (talk)
• Apart from Andre Engels and JYolkowski it seems most so far have misunderstood the premises of the discussion. This is not a template, and was never meant to be. Again I would ask you to please look at the article's discussion page. Eixo 19:58, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
• Un-VfD :: refer discussion page to policy level for a decision on the points raised. Alternatively, sell the article to Cunnan and cross-refer. --Simon Cursitor 08:01, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, we already have a policy that templates should not mask as article content. Radiant_* 13:11, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete a) template already exists, this is just a use of the template (so don't move) b) this approach is obviously not good (you would never look for a topic "xxx infobox") so can be deleted. c) if needed an alternative would be an article "Edward II of England summary" or something similar (facts and statistics?), but it should be a proper article, not a disembodied infobox.

• Delete. Mozzerati is right. Jayjg ^(talk) 21:07, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. There's no point in having a stand-alone article or a redirect with this title. —Tokek 20:11, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
