Template:EastEnders project (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Redundant to {{EastEnders project class}} — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 13:27, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per AnemoneProjectors Trampikey ^{(talk to me)(contribs)} 14:45, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per AnemoneProjectors Gungadin 14:52, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, moving the source of -class to the original, or else we'll have hell moving it over, then delete -class. --Quentin Smith 17:40, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: I'm not quite sure what you mean. The {{EastEnders project}} template has been replaced on every talk page it appeared with {{EastEnders project class}} and is therefore redundant. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 10:43, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Template:Controversy1 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This template was initially used in the main article name space. I was bold and removed them because I did not feel that the template was encyclopedic and necessary in the main article space. This template could work on Talk pages, except I feel it is redundent with a large number of templates such as Template:Calm talk, and Template:controversial.Andrew c 00:54, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Definitely inappropriate for placement in articles, and seems redundant with {{controversial}}, though the mention that consensus has been reached isn't provided for in that template. I'd rather give a chance for an example of how it could be useful before calling it useless. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 01:40, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment The placements in main article space seem to be the actions of a single overzealous editor, Diez2, who, based on his contributions, seems to be very big on templates, and who in fact created this template a few days ago. Maybe we could just ask him to stop. I don't have an opinion on the overall template, because I'm really not all that familiar with Wikipedia's templates. --BCSWowbagger 04:59, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete. One, it's redundant. Wikipedia already has a controversial template for use on talk pages. Two, it violates WP:NDT if placed in the main article space. Chrisbrl88 05:40, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• • Comment Which of the speedy-delete criteria is this meant to break? --ais523 08:05, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep Delete. It explains things more clearly than Template:Controversial currently does, making it useful for articles with lots of anon/inexperienced editors. (If kept, we should add {{check talk}} to it.) CWC(talk) 07:25, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

After seeing Andrew c's comment below, I vote for deletion. (Maybe we should add the bit about reading the article carefully to Template:Controversial3?) Cheers, CWC(talk) 16:16, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep or merge with {{controversial}}. This should clearly be a talk-page template, and IMO is better then {{controversial}} is at the moment. Agree with CWC that it should be check-talked, and I'll make that change now. --ais523 08:05, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
  • (!vote changed) Merge to {{Controversial3}} per Andrew c. --ais523 08:29, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

• Update Except for a few words, this template is identical to Template:Controversial3. I don't see why we need to keep this template, if it already exists.--Andrew c 15:51, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as redundant per Andrew c. --Aaron 18:33, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Kerisu (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Nonfunctional infobox used only on User:Kerisu. The user hasn't made any contributions other than information about himself on March 12. TimBentley (talk) 02:38, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete. This falls outside of the realm of use for a template. Chrisbrl88 05:46, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Which of the speedy-delete criteria does this violate?
• Subst and delete Only useful on one page (which isn't even in the article namespace!). We shouldn't lose the information unless the userpage is MfDd. --ais523 08:10, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Template:Bridges in Saint Petersburg (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

The gargantuan template, brimming with red links, duplicates Category:Bridges in Saint Petersburg. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 12:59, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete or listify. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 13:01, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• Edit to break into subcategories by bridges across individual rivers and canals. Wikiolap 23:06, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Wow. Delete. Use list & categories, do not distract reader with the box. Pavel Vozenilek 23:38, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
