November 23

Template:Turkic-speaking

Per nomination of Indo-Iranian speaking, below. This template is also full of debateable assertions (most notably on Turkish Cyprus), without room to debate them. I support deleting both. --Septentrionalis 19:10, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

KeepThere are losts of them, Template:Slavic speaking, Template:Iranian speaking but the template Indo-Iranian speaking is without a offical languages just adding the countries where the language speak. It's different. If you contine to voting deletion of the template, i will add Iranian-speaking

, Slavic-speaking, Germanic speaking, Latin speaking etc.. Zaparojdik (talk · contribs) 21:53 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Template:Aromatic allylic alcohol anticonvulsants

Intended as a navigation box, but only contains one link [there is only one AAA anticonvulsant] so is useless for navigating. No transclusions either. ><RichardΩ6 12 ^UW 16:52, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - navboxes and navbox components with only one link are pointless. Chris cheese whine 22:52, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Annihilate

Totally useless template that would just put unecessary load on the servers. I suggest we do what the template says and 'ANNIHILATE!' it! ><RichardΩ6 12 ^UW 16:45, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In an abuse of irony, ANNIHILATE! Chris cheese whine 22:53, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox MelbourneSuburbTable4

Template has no transclusions and has been succeeded by {{Infobox Australian Place}}. --◄§ĉҺɑʀκs► 14:00, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - redundant. Chris cheese whine 22:54, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Australian Local Government Area

Redundant to better template {{Infobox Australian Place}}, not linked to any articles. --Orderinchaos78 13:48, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - redundant. Chris cheese whine 22:54, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:AFL XXXX Round YY

I have no idea what this would do for an article apart from making it rather large and ugly.><RichardΩ6 12 ^UW 07:26, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What the ... !? No idea what on earth this template is all about. Chris cheese whine 22:58, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unused and rather silly template ><RichardΩ6 12 ^UW 07:22, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete Given that the name is {{Test5}} backwards, and given the contrib history of the creator, I'd guess that this is either a test page or vandalism; I'll just go tag it for speedy. --ais523 09:32, 23 November 2006 (U T C)

Template:Numismatic Galleries

Unencyclopedic. All of the galleries herein have been nominated to be transwikied to Wikimedia Commons. --SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:01, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Unencyclopedic? Wha? When all of the galleries have been transwikied, and aren't just proposed to be, you have a good argument. But a nomination doesn't mean it will happen. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 02:03, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep until... There have been AfD for these articles. See

And all the results were keep. And there has been a discussion on how to break up these galleries at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Numismatics. When the method of partition is decided, the plan will be carried out and, of course, more encyclopedia text will be added. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 02:14, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Indo-Iranian-speaking

Delete The template is very empty because "..speaking-nations" templates categorized with an offical language but this template is categorize nations where the language speak, according this template what is next? English speaking nations template with 250 countries? Zaparojdik (talk · contribs) 01:19 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Keep There are many "..speaking-nations" templates such as Template:Turkic-speaking, that you yourself created and maintain, which proves that this is a POV nomination. --ManiF 23:59, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the scope of this template is far too broad. PS WP:AGF. Chris talk back 00:55, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, in no way supporting "This is a POV nomination". But I don't really see what the problem with the template is. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 02:01, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep WP:POINT nomination. I'm also sensing double standards considering Zaparojdik's active support for including as many entries as possible at Template:Turkic-speaking.--Euthymios 09:31, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep since such templates exist, i see no reason why this one should be deleted... Hectorian 15:51, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Real funny, Zaparojdik was the one that created the Turkic speakers template. Suspicious...Khosrow II 17:27, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Those templates are (Turkic speaking, Iranian speaking etc.) are with an offical language but this template have nothing to do with them. It's funny to adding Vietnam :) Really funny.. Then I'm going to create English speaking nations and there will be 232 countries, ok? Zaparojdik (talk · contribs) 20:12 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Keep, Indo-Iranian Language is an important category in Linguistic. This is different to [1] which you created and was deleted because of "nasty pan-turkic bias".--Pejman47 18:29, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The funniest thing would be to list all the Indian states seperately (as done in the Turkic-speaking template with Karakalpakstan, part of Uzbekistan)... This way, there would be 30 most entities listed! Hectorian 18:25, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Either make into a category, or write into article text and explain. Several POV assertions on debateable cases and linguistic claims; and the term Indo-Aryan should never be used without context and justification. Septentrionalis 19:05, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:zh-d-xxx

These templates are similar to {{zh-cp}}, {{zh-cpw}}, {{zh-sp}}, {{zh-spw}}, {{zh-tp}}, {{zh-tpw}}, but only make Chinese text inside as links to Wiktionary as a whole. They have been created for long time but almost no one use them, and, in most cases, what we want is to link each character to Wiktionary separately, but these six templates do not help. (so no one use them) Yao Ziyuan 07:54, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why do we want to link to characters instead of words in Wiktionary? If we talk about a Chinese word, we should link to the word's entry, not the individual characters. Kusma (討論) 08:04, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Two points, (1). No one uses it at this time. (2) I mean, actually we have better method without zh-d-xxx, for example, create a new template called "zh-d" or something alike, and use {{zh-c|{{zh-d|一}}{{zh-d|二}}{{zh-d|三}}}}, this is much more flexible. —The preceding comment was added by Yao Ziyuan (talk • contribs) 08:25, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
  - Or just use [[wikt:一|]] for 一 instead of your {{zh-d}}. Delete per nom. Kusma (討論) 15:47, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
