December 21

Template:User aclu

Blatant T1 template ({{User aclu}} moreso than {{User ACLU}}) and G4 recreation of a frequently deleted template [1]. Two admins declined to speedy ({{User aclu}}, so I'm bringing it here suggesting speedy delete. --BigDT 23:43, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I fail to see how supporting the ACLU is so divisive or inflammatory that it must be deleted. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 23:52, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- If someone is a "proud, card-carrying member" of any political or religious organization, I would think that would be considered "divisive". BigDT 00:16, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - divisive: (adj) Having a quality that divides or separates [2] --24fan24 02:34, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy per WP:GUS. Mackensen (talk) 00:13, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep As per Amarkov. This is no different than any other political userbox. ~~Also how does this possibly meet the G4 criteria?~~ --24fan24 01:58, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- You do realize that you don't have to have it in template space, right? You can create User:24fan24/User ACLU, then transclude it using {{User:24fan24/User ACLU}}. All or substantially all of the political and religious userboxes have been moved to userspace. --BigDT 02:52, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do realize that and I actually do have an ACLU userbox on that page :). It is fine if someone wants to move this to the userspace as per Wikipedia:Userbox migration, but this is voluntary and I certainly do not feel that this template should be deleted. --24fan24 03:17, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- - But the reason for deletion is T1, which most certainly should apply to userspace templates as well. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 02:54, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - Except it doesn't, per policy and accepted practice. Mackensen (talk) 04:26, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      - Userfy is a well-accepted solution for exactly this. T1 was discussed at length when GUS started. Move it and be done with it. Perel 07:42, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - redundant, superseded, not used in articlespace.. time to dump it. Perel 07:44, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Casualties of the PKK conflict

Unreadable, unused, unuseful, sourced from a completely unreliable website (http://www.pkkgercegi.net), all sources in Turkish giving no option for verification. - Francis Tyers · 12:11, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This is is an Easytimeline (graphical time) which is part of wikipedia, and Francis Tyers may not know what easytimelines are and how they are part of the main article, such as the time line of Casualties of the Turkish-Kurdish conflict. Easytimeline shows the items as wiki links to the other articles (citations comes from other articles and also the events are sourced from the same events listed in Casualties of the Turkish-Kurdish conflict).--OttomanReference 14:46, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reference: EasyTimelines [EasyTimeline], also Help:EasyTimeline syntax. Easy Timelines are graphical way to represent basic concepts of the issues regarding the articles. They are formed in the template space and are integral part of the main articles. Some examples Template:Timeline of the Roman Kingdom, Template:Timeline of the Roman Republic, and A MUST SEE one Template:Timeline of the Roman Empire.

Delete as nom. - Francis Tyers · 12:11, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as it is. OttomanReference 14:46, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. How in the world is this helpful? -Amarkov ^blah_edits 16:39, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Understanding Amarkov is not familiar with the Casualties of the Turkish-Kurdish conflict; the timeline is aimed to show the casualties (frequency and type) during the PKK organizational periods and linked to main regional and internal events. OttomanReference 17:02, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What matters isn't what it's aimed to do, what matters is what it does. And it does nothing useful. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 17:13, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"What it does" A timeline is basically an educational tool and I guess, this subject matter is specialized and hard to understand by a layman. You have to give some effort. But thanks for your consideration. --OttomanReference 20:23, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You could at least try not to be patronizing. And you do realize that encyclopedia articles are not written for experts, right? -Amarkov ^blah_edits 22:47, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Amarkov: this template is not usable in mainspace and cannot be cleaned up to be made usable. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:29, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
