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

This template should be removed mainly because its text gives bad advice, since any insertion of Greek script ought to be based on reliable sources, rather than, as implied, based on the fact that an editor is "knowledgeable". A request for Greek script can equally well be inserted as a talk page comment. This template, furthermore, has been there since August 2006 and is currently unused. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 22:29, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it is a request template. If all current requests are filled, it will not be transcluded. As it is likely we will continue to have Greek subjects in new articles, it seems likely that this template may be used. It might be more usefully renamed to {{Request Greek}} . As for RS, that can be done by editing the contents of the template to mention that the Greek name should use an RS. 76.66.203.138 (talk) 05:25, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Rewrite if necessary; reading it, I took it to mean an editor who can find the original Greek, and (more important and harder) can enter it in WP; the second step involves at least {{polytonic}} as well as the character set, and would benefit from an understanding of the history of the Greek alphabet and language. Copying the Demotic form of a classical word is not generally an inmprovement of Wikipedia. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 21:59, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Requests for names in Greek where appropriate are valid. This is a talk page template. If the wording bothers you, go ahead and edit the template. It's not protected. If you look at the code (always advisable before nominating templates), you'll see that it adds articles to Category:Articles needing Greek script or text, something that a talk page message won't do. And it's fine for that category to be empty, as it is now. It just means there are no outstanding requests. Tijfo098 (talk) 09:20, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This template might be more appropriately name {{Greek script}} to match some others in Category:Script talk header templates, but the convention is not universally followed there. Tijfo098 (talk) 09:30, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Hebrew script (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template should be removed mainly because its text gives bad advice, since any insertion of Hebrew script ought to be based on reliable sources, rather than, as implied, based on the fact that an editor is "knowledgeable".

As it is likely we will continue to have Greek subjects in new articles, it seems likely that this template may be used. It might be more usefully renamed to {{Request Hebrew}} . As for RS, that can be done by editing the contents of the template to mention that the Hebraic name should use an RS. It might be useful to mark it in blue for article pages instead of yellow, as a request template similar to {{expand}} being blue. 76.66.203.138 (talk) 05:28, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Merge anything useful with {{Electromagnetism}}, then redirect. The utility of a redirect can be discussed at RFD this is not desired. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 20:29, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Electromagnetic Filed Theory (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Electromagnetic Field Theory (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

These are unused templates that are more or less duplicates of each other (one has a typo in the title). Sending to TfD to decide about whether they should be merged and used, or if there's already a similar template out there and can be deleted. Or something. WP:PHYS has been contacted.

  • Merge per Diego Moya. I've redirect the misspelled one to the correctly spelled one. They were created by the same user, who seemed to spot the error and then switch over. The creator blanked the misspelled one, and it should have been speedy deleted at that point. --Bsherr (talk) 22:49, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:SC Cham squad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Completely outdated (see here) and unnecessary squad template. Club does now play in the 3rd league (non-professional). Almost no player has an article. Leyo 08:24, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Exactly! For Switzerland I would say: Squad templates are compulsory in the 1st league, optional in the 2nd and dispensable in the 3rd and below. --Leyo 15:08, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • What happens if/when this team gets promoted and, using your idea, is therefore allowed a template? And what if they then get relegated again? If they yo-yo in and out of 'notability' are we going to keep deleting and recreating? GiantSnowman 15:33, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I did not say that. This was just a comment to show that recreation because of a promotion is unlikely. There is just no use keeping a squad template, when the vast majority of players are not notable and do not have an article. --Leyo 08:45, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • That does not change the situation.
    What about this: Thank you for having created this squad template back in 2008 (when the team played in the 2nd league). But now it's simply not needed anymore. Why can't you just let it get deleted? --Leyo 12:02, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for patrionising me. All I'm saying is that if the team yo-yos in & out of the cut-off points for template notability, the constant deletion & recreation is not efficient! GiantSnowman 12:04, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
