Template:Native name[edit]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was Keep. It is clear that until |Native_name_lang= is added to {{Infobox country}}, the template can not be deleted. Ruslik_Zero 16:29, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Native name (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant. {{Infobox settlement}} has a |Native_name_lang= parameter, which causes lang attributes to be applied to the native name. The native name is now italicised by the infobox. We have {{Lang}} for other uses. We don't use flags for langauges. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:54, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment What about {{Infobox country}}, in which it is used much more? Styath (talk) 19:30, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- We should add |Native_name_lang= and the associated markup to that, too - all our templates should use the same formulation for the same parameter, for consistency, and ease of use and template-updating.

Comment looks like some sort of inappropriate hatnote for mycologist articles that indicates their standard abbreviation as a hatnote, instead of in the text of the article or the infobox. 76.65.128.198 (talk) 06:18, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; this, along with Template:Botanist has standard use by an entire project. Most of the articles on these individuals (for both templates) have no infobox, and are not likely to ever have one. --EncycloPetey (talk) 22:51, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why would they be unlikely to have an infobox? {{infobox biography}} is viable on all biographical articles. It seems like you could use the other_names parameter to show the standardized abbreviation. 76.65.128.132 (talk) 03:55, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because (1) no one is likely to add them, (2) information worthy of using the infobox is scarce for these authors, (3) the abbreviation is the most important part for many of these individuals anyway. Why would you think the "other names" parameter is appropriate? That's for other forms of the name, not for the internationally standarized author abbreviations. The abbreviation is the form of an author's name that follows the species name as part of a formal full scientific name.

Why was this template discussion never raised at the appropriate WikiProjects? --EncycloPetey (talk) 05:04, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The WikiProjects weren't tagged until I added them, so I infer that Bulwersator would not have known them. 76.65.128.132 (talk) 09:26, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This media licensing tag is seemingly unused, Images which would be licensed using this should probably be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons directly, making local use of this tag partially redundant. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:44, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It is unused now, but only because all the images that used it were moved to Commons. Stamps prior to 1978 are PD, and this template helps to depopulate the over-used PD-USGov and at the same time distinguishes PD US stamps from later proprietary stamps. At one time there were a couple hundred older stamp images under PD-USGov, and given that most people who upload US government images never take the time to look for the most appropriate license, any means of breaking down that overused category should be embraced.--Monkeybait (talk) 17:25, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I don't see the need to delete the template. Redundancy is not an issue here and now, as it is two years ago, the template currently being used for some of the articles i.e. 2008 Men's World Open Squash Championship for the Squash WikiProject, and there's a need for it. And to use a tennis template in a squash articles is not sensible in my belief, so there's a need to create a separate one. And it's not "completely redundant" as being stated. It contains differences here and there. Arteyu ? _{Blame it on me !} 12:47, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It is the same as {{8Team2ElimBracket}}, with the exception of the final round, in which 8Team2ElimBracket to my knowledge does not allow for the final round to be single-elimination. The LLWS tournament, under its current format, becomes single-elimination in that final round prior to the world championship. If 8Team2ElimBracket allowed the option to make the fifth round a single-elimination, I wouldn't have had to create {{2011LLWSBracket}}. Tampabay721 (talk) 20:36, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The template that has been indicated as making it "completely redundant" is compact.

Template:Florida Gators All-Century Football Team (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template is a list of Florida Gators college football players that was published by The Gainesville Sun newspaper on a single occasion in 1999. The "All-Century" list was generated by the newspaper as the result of a single non-scientific fan poll taken earlier that year. There was no objective criteria for inclusion—only voluntary fan votes submitted to the newspaper. As a result, the list suffers from "recentism," and is heavily and disproportionately weighted to Florida Gators football players from the 1990s. While all but a handful of the included football players are undoubtedly notable, the list itself is probably non-notable per WP:N and WP:NSPORTS, as there is only a single published source, The Gainesville Sun, to support its notability. A Google search reveals no online secondary sources that are not mirror sites of Wikipedia; a search of Google News Archive reveals no news articles other than the original Gainesville Sun article. The list has no official standing with the University of Florida, and it is not supported by a stand-alone Wikipedia article. This is a classic example of a one-time sports "honor" invented to sell newspapers. Delete as non-notable. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 02:58, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. College sports award navboxes generically ought to be reserved for top-tier national honors. It's fine to detail this honor at Florida Gators football and mention it on the relevant biography articles, but the navbox is overkill. This is not an honor that has defined its recipients to the point of necessitating navigation around it. Jweiss11 (talk) 05:47, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It's a good navbox. It's well within guidelines IMO24.49.162.84 (talk) 04:42, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Uh, no, it is not "well within guidelines." It fails 3 of the 4 specific navbox guidelines per WP:NAVBOX (as explained above), also fails to establish notability under the general guidelines per WP:N, and there is no presumption of notability under the more specific sports guidelines per WP:NSPORTS. If this navbox is to be kept, the general notability guidelines must be satisfied, to wit:

1. "'Significant coverage' means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material.

2. "'Reliable' means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability.

3. "'Sources', for notability purposes, should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. The number and nature of reliable sources needed varies depending on the depth of coverage and quality of the sources. Multiple sources are generally expected. Sources are not required to be available online, and they are not required to be in English. Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability.

4. "'Independent of the subject' excludes works produced by those affiliated with the subject or its creator. For example, self-publicity, advertising, self-published material by the subject, the subject's website, autobiographies, and press releases are not considered independent."

This navbox fails to satisfy general notability requirements Nos. 1, 2 and 3 because they require multiple significant, reliable secondary sources; there is only one source for this navbox, the original Gainesville Sun article from 1999. Furthermore, the template also fails notability requirement No. 4 because the only source is not independent of its subject—this "honor" was invented by the sole source. In the absence of significant, meaningful coverage from other secondary sources, the subject of this navbox is not notable. And, as mentioned above, this navbox also fails 3 of the 4 navbox guidelines. Game over. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 06:34, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An editor started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Template messages/User talk namespace#Template:Uw-disruptive4im about the usefulness of this template, recently created, apparently without consensus. As I pointed out here, when disruptive editing becomes deliberate, there's not much of a difference between that and vandalism. That means the template could easily be superseded by {{uw-vandalism4im}}, and I've already edited the warning templates table to reflect that.
