Template:Infobox Jews

Template:Infobox Jews (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

there are currently over 4000 articles using template:infobox ethnic group, but this one is the only one that has not been merged with the article. I see no reason why it needs to be kept separate from the article. we can preserve the edit history by moving it to a subpage of the article, and redirecting it to the article. we can preserve the talk page history by archiving it with the rest of the talk archives.

• merge per nom. — Lfdder (talk) 22:53, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Keep as is A merge has been reverted once recently, and the discussion on the talkpage has two people who disagree with the nominator on this subject. The reasons against a merge are mentioned there, and I feel the nominator should be trouted for forum shopping. The main point in the discussion against a merge is that there are very frequent and animated discussions and disagreements (including edits) regarding this template, and therefore it makes sense to treat the template and the article separately. Just have a look at the edit history and the talkpage of this template, and it becomes obvious that if all those edits and discussions were to be part of the article and its talkpage, they would be overloaded with edits and discussions, and the distinction between the template and the article proper would make the mixture of edits to both and discussion about both too confusing.

• Merge per nom. The content of the infobox should reflect the content of the article, rather than existing as a separate entity, so discussing them in the same talk pages is appropriate.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 00:15, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
• Keep per what Debresser rightly said, and because the claim that this template is the "only one of its kind" (hasn't been merged) is clearly not sufficient enough to delete it, maybe it stayed that long for a reason: every article/template is different and has its own circumstances. - Yambaram (talk) 00:45, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
