Template:Pirates of the Caribbean association (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This infobox was created for use in articles about organizations depicted within the Pirates of the Caribbean series, such as the Brethren Court (a redirect to the list of characters) and the East India Trading Co. (deleted through WP:PROD). It is unused, currently, but I would argue for its deletion even it it was in use (e.g., if the PROD deletion was overturned) due to the fact that it presents the subject primarily from an in-universe perspective. The majority of parameters, especially ones such as intentions, strength, flagship, allies and enemies, reflect in-universe details; only two parameters, appearance and basis, have real-world relevance. Even if an infobox was deemed to be needed, a more general one would be more useful: for instance, Template:Infobox fictional organisation.

merge with template:Infobox fictional secret organisation. 198.102.153.2 (talk) 20:07, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What could be merged? Most parameters either have an equivalent (type–organisation_type, headquarters–location, supreme leader–key_people, intentions–purpose, allies–affiliations, and so on) or are too specific to be merged (e.g. motto, coat of arms, flagship and the like). -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 20:37, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Despite continuing deletion of similar type of templates (see Viva la Vida, Rated R, and The Fame as some recent examples), attempts to create templates for individual albums continues. This in particular contains links that can already be found in {{Nicki Minaj}} and {{Nicki Minaj singles}}. It's also redundant to the recently created {{Pink Friday trilogy}}, although that one is bit awkward for a template and may be unnecessary as well. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 16:51, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Her singles template is messy enough, she has so many mixtapes, albums, featured songs and other songs that it clutters it up. Separating it into another template would be the logical thing to differentiate between them to give a viewer a better understanding.--(CA)Giacobbe (talk) 16:57, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So both this and the trilogy one are needed to do that? --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 17:05, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion the trilogy one should be deleted, it's just too messy and doesn't flow at all. Due to the fact that Minaj had also worked with completley different producers, writers, and many songs of hers pass notability, the PF:RR template should remain open. Almost every song on the album has charted, and when future albums come out, it will be easier to see what songs and singles were off of PF:RR, since the "other songs" section of her singles template would be completley flooded.--(CA)Giacobbe (talk) 17:23, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, both should go, really. The songs are linked from the singles template and you can get the info needed regarding producers and guest vocals from the album article itself, because you surely wouldn't put this template on each producer's or guest's article, or someone like Dr. Luke would end up with dozens of similar templates in his article. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 18:04, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Really getting tired of these fans creating useless templates. — Statυs (talk) 23:32, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please, expand on how it's "useless"? I see no valid points here... Her singles template is messy as hell with constant features and many of her songs charting, it's becoming bombarded and needs to have separation from her albums.--(CA)Giacobbe (talk) 21:29, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: There is not much of a valid reason for keeping this template here. It is redundant to Template:Nicki Minaj and unnecessary. Till I Go Home (talk) 06:08, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:FootballAt2012SummerOlympics (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Not strictly a navbox, but I think WP:NENAN's rule of five applies, which suggests requiring at least five articles other than the main article. This only has four. – hysteria18 (talk) 11:56, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Actually it has six – although in my opinion the links a) [[Football at the 2012 Summer Olympics|Football]] and b) [[2012 Summer Olympics]] should be one: [[Football at the 2012 Summer Olympics]] (which makes it five). I have worked much with Olympics articles, and I find these templates very useful, not only for linking, but also for "instant navigation within the topic", without having to check categories (which aren't always properly maintained). I think it should be kept, even if you only count 4 links. HandsomeFella (talk) 15:05, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Indian Orthodox Church (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

We already have {{Infobox Orthodox Church}}, {{Infobox church}}, and {{Infobox religious building}}. Setting up an endless hierarchy of such templates is counterproductive. Just add some optional parameters to one of these more general templates and merge it. Kaldari (talk) 08:40, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nearly unused and definitely redundant. As a first step, the existing half-dozen transclusions should be switched to use the orthodox church template and then the nominated template removed as CSD#T3. After that, the ~70 transclusions of the orthodox church box should be switched to use the church box. That will leave us with one ~2000 transclusion infobox (infobox religious building) and one ~4000 transclusion infobox (infobox church).
