Template:US Aviation aircraft (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Fails WP:NENAN with just four relevant blue links. The Banner talk 23:19, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: WP:NENAN is just an essay, not a policy and a controversial essay that is not well accepted on Wikipedia too. The template is useful to readers and helps organize the subject. The use of navigation templates like this to organize manufacturer's aircraft types is a consensus standard across many thousands of WikiProject Aircraft articles. A discussion to gain a new consensus is underway at WikiProject Aircraft and continued nominations of aircraft manufacturer templates for deletion should be delayed until that discussion is complete. Rather than dealing with the piecemeal nomination of thousands of aircraft nav boxes please participate there to reach a consensus as to the best course of action. - NiD.29 (talk) 23:55, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Notification of the existence of this TfD has been made at WikiProject Aviation and WikiProject Aircraft, within whose scope this template falls. - Ahunt (talk) 15:10, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This is a bad-faith nomination against a new consensus found here that all WikiProject Aircraft manufacturer nav boxes are useful and should be retained, regardless of the number of blue links presently in the template. This consensus in no way affects TfDs of other templates outside the purview of WikiProject Aircraft. Both here and here the nominator states that he will not accept any consensus about WikiProject Aircraft manufacturer nav boxes and will continue to nominate them for deletion against consensus. Here he indicates that his motivation for doing this is one of revenge. - Ahunt (talk) 15:21, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Mr. Hunt, you are waging a kind of personal war without listening to other arguments. I have told you by now quite a few that a consensus reach amongst peers on a tiny corner of the vast Wikipedia will have no effect on TfD. Instead, you start to act ruder and ruder with more and more false accusations but no arguments why WP:NENAN should not be used. Act politely please. The Banner talk 15:28, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Poorly accepted essays do not prevail over consensus on Wikipedia. The current consensus on WikiProject Aircraft manufacturer nav boxes, in which outside editors from TfD participated (including you), are a perfectly valid means of arriving at how to deal with nominations of templates for deletion. Just because your position was not supported by anyone else in that discussion is no reason to go on a tear of nominating more templates against consensus. There is no requirement here that all templates be treated equally across Wikipedia and, as many different editors argued in the consensus debate, there are good reasons why WikiProject Aircraft manufacturer nav boxes should be retained, regardless of what some essay says. - Ahunt (talk) 15:44, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: You can note that this template has five blue links including the titular article, so I don't know why it was even nominated in the first place. - Ahunt (talk) 16:09, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He is going by WP:NENAN, which doesn't include the title, but assumes it is blue. Including the title, the threshold would be 6 linked articles. I think 5 total articles is enough for many navboxes. I often like to compare it with the transclusions to find the number of articles in both that list and the navbox to use as the threshold, which may or may not include the title. —PC -XT + 06:36, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep These navboxes perform a useful function: the rationale that this is 'tidying up Wikipedia' is feeble in the extreme: no explanation of how deleting these navboxes will actually benefit Wikipedia has been advanced.

Propose merging Template:Current BRICS Leaders with Template:BRIC summits.
Small template to exist independently. Should be merged with Template:BRIC summits. Also, when merged, both current and past leaders should be included. Past leaders don't become trivial for being historic. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 13:31, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose this template is used on the leaders' articles. It would be inappropriate to have the summits template on the leaders' articles. And if were're going to navigate between former leaders, wouldn't a separate template be better? {{BRICS leaders}}, to navigate between leaders. -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 05:06, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I personally would oppose even the creation of such categorization. These people hold the position of leader for being in a certain post and not because of what they are. By default, the heads of the governments of these countries are leaders. That's why its kinda crowding to put such templates on biography articles of these leaders. Being head of the state defacto makes them head/leader of numerous stuff and template for all is a bad idea. But just so we know and have it recorded, it should be added in summit's template. And why should former leaders be separated? We don't put one name in Template:Current Nobel Prize in Literature and put others in Template:Nobel Prize in Literature. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:25, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not saying current and former should be separated, I'm saying leaders and summits should be separated. As this template is currently only used on biography articles, I don't see why it should merge into the summits template, as the biography articles should not be hosting a navbox for summits. The equivalent G8 template is called {{Current G8 Leaders}} and only appears in the leaders' biography articles, not the summit articles. Though perhaps a merge between {{Current G8 Leaders}} ; {{Current BRICS Leaders}} ; {{current G20 Leaders}} ; {{current OECD Leaders}} should occur, with four fields listing each grouping, and only appearing on the current leaders' bio articles (not former) as {{current leaders of leading national economic powers}} ; -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 04:42, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Viking Aircraft (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Fails WP:NENAN with just two links and no parent article The Banner talk 11:17, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: WP:NENAN is just an essay, not a policy and a controversial essay that is not well accepted on Wikipedia too. The template is useful to readers and helps organize the subject. The use of navigation templates like this to organize manufacturer's aircraft types is a consensus standard across many thousands of WikiProject Aircraft articles. A discussion to gain a new consensus is underway at WikiProject Aircraft and continued nominations of aircraft manufacturer templates for deletion should be delayed until that discussion is complete. Rather than dealing with the piecemeal nomination of thousands of aircraft nav boxes please participate there to reach a consensus as to the best course of action. - Ahunt (talk) 14:23, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - parent article needs to be written, that is all. The lack of an article doesn't make a subject non-notable.NiD.29 (talk) 23:51, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There is an ongoing discussion and this nomination is an open attempt at blackmail by one of the disputants, see this diff. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 15:58, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep These navboxes perform a useful function: the rationale that this is 'tidying up Wikipedia' is feeble in the extreme: no explanation of how deleting these navboxes will actually benefit Wikipedia has been advanced. Essentially, this is just a one-editor jihad based on WP:IDONTLIKEIT and an essay, not a policy.TheLongTone (talk) 17:55, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless the title article is created —PC -XT + 07:15, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep part of a standard navigation feature on aircraft articles that helps the user easily navigate related subjects and replaced a more cumbersome use of the see also area, if the nominator doesnt like the red links they are welcome to help create the required article or at least ask for help.

Keep: the company/designer is notable despite the lack of page, and has been written about in publications, and there are a number of missing links that need to be added. That no-one has gotten around to writing it yet doesn't make it non-notable.

Delete Not enough links. Vortech doesn't even have a article....William 15:02, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - notability is not determined by the existence of an article on the subject (which simply hasn't been written yet), but by publications about the subject, and this passes that test amply.NiD.29 (talk) 23:49, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If this stays as-is, it should be deleted, but all the red links seem to be more or less notable, and the project is active, so I'm leaning towards keep for now. —PC -XT + 07:23, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
