Not everything needs a navbox. — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 23:14, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per nominator. We're not gonna wait two or three years for this template to meet the minimum of usefulness (and that's even assuming a new film is in progress). LazyBastardGuy 02:10, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It is already announced that they are working on their next feature - a western called "Once Upon a Time in Palestine". I don't see what's the hurry to delete this template. Zaevet (talk) 15:50, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And when will this film be released? When will it receive an article that won't be deleted per WP:CRYSTAL? There aren't enough links here for a navbox to be terribly useful. It also has yet to be seen whether this film will actually be made (yes, filmmakers can and do get held-up, postpone or cancel films in development). In fact, I don't think five links justifies this navbox. I imagine another link or two might, but right now it's not necessary. LazyBastardGuy 19:28, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you that this template is not terribly useful, but it is some what useful. I agree that it is not necessary, but I don't agree it should be deleted at this time. But, since you are not suggesting to delete this template for good, but only until "another link or two" will be added to it - I fail to see what's the hurry for deleting this template now (just because it's not "terribly" useful), only to restore it again, in the future. There is no harm in waiting a bit. Zaevet (talk) 20:09, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
My point is, how long will that be? I recently had a template for my favorite band deleted. Why? They have two albums with articles, one of their members has a page, the band itself has a page, and that's it. Four articles. I don't even know if they're still together or what they're working on now, so I didn't see a point to keeping that template around until then. If this new movie was just announced, it's going to be at least two years until it gets released. In the meantime, this template isn't very helpful. It's not going to hurt anyone to wait a while longer to make this template. We have yet to see if this movie will even be released. LazyBastardGuy 20:30, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Do you agree that all of the information in the template now - is correct, and this information is not going to change? (the name of a movie will not change, the release year will not change, the directors' names etc). Do you agree with this? Zaevet (talk) 22:01, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That's not the issue here. The issue is whether it has enough links to warrant being kept. At the moment it does not, and it is my opinion that we should not wait until it does. There is no guarantee, per se, that it will, even with the new movie in development. Navboxes are meant to be helpful, but only in cases where readers may get rather lost without them - it's not likely they would in this particular case. Subjects on the template could be connected with a "See also" section or even just the directors' filmographies. (Just to add, it seems likely that the two film articles would likely be well-connected in a similar manner already, e.g. "This is the second time these two directors have collaborated, the last time being Film", or at least that they could be; if the articles can be completely connected to each other without a navbox then there shouldn't be one.) LazyBastardGuy 22:41, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If you delete the navbox, than Rabies (2010 film) and Big Bad Wolves will not be connected to each other. And I find this Navboxes the be the most helpful way to connect these articles. Zaevet (talk) 21:49, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
They are two articles. They do not need a navbox to be connected. Like I said, they could be connected via a mention of the two directors' collaborations (e.g. "This was the first/second film on which they collaborated; they would collaborate again/had previously collaborated on (whichever)"). And the two directors having their names on each article and the films on each of their filmographies ought to be sufficient; if need be, a note on each filmography could explain that one co-directed with the other. A navbox is not necessary nor all that useful at this time. LazyBastardGuy 01:51, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Withdrew my vote for a speedy, but I still think it should be deleted. LazyBastardGuy 19:28, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:K. Beerschot AC squad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Team went bankrupt in June 2013 and no longer exists. See Beerschot AC article. Pelotastalk|contribs 22:08, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - not really sure that's grounds for deletion. It could be amended to say "Last Squad" (forgive me as I have no familiarity whatsoever with this topic), but I don't think deletion is the answer. Former teammates may also be included to "finalize" the template, so to speak, and I say this because there seem to be enough links for the navbox to be usable per WP:NENAN. Also, it's not as if when a band breaks up its template suddenly goes away. LazyBastardGuy 02:12, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - it is common to have templates for "current squads" for association football squads, to navigate between the players that are currently playing in a club. When the club is defunct and the player has moved on to others club, I don't see the point in having a template for the players that happened to play for this club at the time it was defunct. If it was a band, we could list all the former members of a band, but we shouldn't have a template for all the 182 former Beerschot AC players. Mentoz86 (talk) 08:17, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I see. It's a considerably more complex issue than with the members of a musical group. Good thing I hadn't cast a vote for certain, just wanted to be sure this was the answer ;) With that I would like to say Delete per Mentoz86. LazyBastardGuy 19:04, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
On that note, is there an essay for when navboxes have too many links to be useful? LazyBastardGuy 19:05, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Adding them to {{infobox software}} will make it unwieldy. Besides, there are editors who'd like to just fill in every parameter and that's the recipe for disaster.

Redundant to {{Infobox country}}. Rezonansowy (talk • contribs) 11:59, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think anyone disputes that there is a difference between a country and a micronation, the question is do we need two separate templates given that they do almost identical things? Why not just create a |micronation = yes parameter or something which turns on any special "micronation code"? That way we can avoid forking the main infobox code. As an example, {{Infobox geopolitical organisation}} redirects to {{Infobox country}} even though these are very different things. TDL (talk) 11:05, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I understand. Mine was just a comment, maybe sometimes it's better to have some redundancy for better clarity. But your solution would be fine too. --Ita140188 (talk) 11:34, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge - As mentioned above, a single template with some kind of a |micronation = yes parameter would most likely be easier to maintain. There doesn't seem to be a lot of specific code for micronations. Patheticcockroach (talk) 12:55, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Abstain - I've been asked to comment as the creator of this template. When I created the template, there was (I recall) a lot of talk about the labels, which is why everything has "purported" and "claimed" etc. These should probably be retained if merged. --Billpg (talk) 19:45, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment there seems to be a tendency to try and merge infoboxes into super-infoboxes which cover everything {{infobox country}} is one and {{infobox office holder}} another. There is a lot good to be said for this as there are about 5000 different infobox template. The problem is that these super-infoboxes are getting more and more complex, infobox country currently has 216 parameter and infobox office holder over 1000. The new VisualEditor and the TemplateData system makes this problem a little more important. Having to scroll through 200 parameter to find the one you need is inconvenient. Its actually impossible to completely document infobox office holder as there is a hard 64K limit of the template data size. Maybe its time to put a limit on the complexity of infobox country. Having to add some switch to change all the labels, or possibly a bunch of new parameters is just going to add to the complexity.--Salix (talk): 16:10, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
