Template:Few references exist (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

There is no way to tell for certain if few references exist. References can easily be offline and their existence unknown to a general editor. If the article is under-referenced, just tag it with {{refimprove}}; if you have suspicion that few sources do exist — a.) how can you even prove that there are few sources?, and b.) why not just tag it with {{notability}}?

Template:Rob Letterman (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

WP:NENAN. Director has only three films, two from the same studio, meaning that this has only one unique link not already covered by {{DreamWorks animated films}}. Therefore, it serves no purpose. Last two TFDs both closed as "no consensus", with most voters saying "it's useful" but failing to explain why. If there is only one link not already used by another template, then how is this useful navigation? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 06:02, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

keep for now, it looks like there is a fourth film coming in 2014. Frietjes (talk) 20:18, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Then there's no harm in deleting until then. The wheels can turn really slow in Hollywood, so there's no guarantee that said film will even come to be. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 20:07, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox historic subdivision (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant to {{Infobox settlement}} or {{Infobox former subdivision}}. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:48, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. As far as I can see this infobox was designed specifically for former British subdivisions. You may change its name to, e.g., "Infobox UK historic subdivision" if you wish. Also, it's used in over 600 articles. Not to mention that {{Infobox settlement}} and {{Infobox former subdivision}} are fairly inadequate substitutes. --5.70.140.73 (talk) 09:55, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The UK-specific application to UK subdivisions is not a reason to keep. 600+ transclusions is not a reason to keep. Which leaves only your "fairly inadequate substitutes" claim. How so? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:22, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, the former is obviously intended for settlements, which are not necessarily subdivisions. In fact, there are no settlements among the articles this template is used in. The latter looks like being about country-like subnational divisions with many parameters redundant in the realia of Britain. However, if you make sure that all 600+ infobox usages are neatly substituted I won't oppose deletion. --5.70.140.73 (talk) 10:45, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - {{Infobox settlement}} is, as its documentation makes clear, "for human settlements (cities, towns, villages, communities) as well as other administrative districts, counties, provinces, etcetera - in fact, any subdivision below the level of a country". Parameters are optional, so any that are redundant need not be used. Of course, instances would be substituted before the nominated template is deleted. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:33, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
oppose pending a demonstration of the redundancy either through a sample conversion. renaming and refactoring it would be a good idea if conversion is too complicated, or results in too many blank parameters (which frequently cannot be safely parsed for metadata). Frietjes (talk) 15:33, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- There will need to be a small number of fields merged into {{Infobox settlement}} (it has |established_date= but not |disestablished_date=) or discarded (do we need multiple historic population figures? We don't have them for existing settlements) before a full conversion can be made. This is usual in such cases, as you are no doubt aware.

Oppose Due to it's widespread usage and because I don't see why the change needs to take place. It would involve quite a lot of effort with little benefit. If you really want it deleted though I would suggest changing all the current use of the infobox to the ones you think are appropriate and then putting the template up for deletion afterwards.

There are some parameters on {{Infobox cape}} that do not appear on {{Infobox landform}} (or at least the documentation of each), namely: map_size, country, water_bodies, area, area_footnotes, image_size, and references (with "caption" being ambiguous). I have no objection to merging, as long as this information is carried over into the new format (assuming these parameters are actually use anywhere). I guess it also makes sense to set type="cape" with link to Cape (geography). -- Beland (talk) 20:33, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
