Procedural nomination on behalf of User:Lugnuts, see Template talk:Editnotices/Page/List of German painters John of Reading (talk) 19:38, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I was told it's TfD, and as per John's latest comment, both TfD and MfD have been used for these. Thanks. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 19:51, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Special:PrefixIndex/Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Template:Editnotice v. Special:PrefixIndex/Miscellany for deletion/Template:Editnotice disagrees with that assessment... I have no problem moving this to MfD for you. I will say that I've seen notices similar to this on a lot of list pages where non-notable topics were continually added to a list that are not likely to be created, including articles that do not comply with Wikipedia's naming conventions. per WP:REDNOT (the section above the one you linked to make your point). I would further note that since this is a list of personal names of painters, Red links to personal names should be avoided—particularly when the name is reported in a context which might cause readers to hold a low or critical opinion of the named individual. Frequently a red-linked name has been placed in an article, and subsequently a different editor has created an article about an entirely different person with the same or a similar name. Aside from the basic misidentification this causes, red-linking has led to people being incorrectly identified on Wikipedia as accused or convicted criminals, sex workers, or being involved in other forms of conduct that might be considered harmful to the subject's reputation. The risk of misidentification is especially concerning when dealing with living people. also trumps WP:REDDEAL. That being the case, I would vote to reword the editnotice on the appropriate MfD discussion. Technical 13 (talk) 20:15, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Most of these painters are dead. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 20:36, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Irrelevant as "Red links to personal names should be avoided" is fairly simple. It does not say "Red links to personal names of living people should be avoided", and the dead must be considered as well. Technical 13 (talk) 22:07, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, you seem to not to understand the difference between someone who is alive and someone who is dead. Dead is someone who is not alive. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 07:35, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Technical 13: Your first "PrefixIndex" returns no hits because TFD subpages are named by nomination date. This search finds about ten discussions. -- John of Reading (talk) 21:10, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
WP:WTAF is an essay. Redlinks encourage article creation. What proof do you have that "a glut of nonnotable entries bringing down the quality of the list as a whole"? None. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 10:16, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Community consensus with lists of a broad nature is usually to limit them to notable entries. This ensures that they are relevant to our function as an encyclopedia. If we kept every redlink that was dropped by an IP address the list would violate WP:NOTDIR and its use as a navigational aid would be severely diminished. The wording does not violate any policy and it is backed by a popular consensus across many list articles. As I pointed out above, I have spent hours over the years deleting nonnotable redlink entries from the List of film festivals, another list of a broad scope. A template similar to this on that page would have saved a lot of my time. ThemFromSpace 23:09, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"I have spent hours over the years deleting nonnotable redlink entries" Then I think you've been wasting your time. You've missed one on there, BTW. Have a crack at Macedonian records in athletics while you're in the mood. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 08:38, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Box Office India (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

These templates invite addition of these external links in violation of WP:NOT#LINKFARM - the information contained on the pages linked to hardly adds anything to what is generally already is contained (or easily could be contained) on the Wikipedia page itself. There where the info is really adding, a regular external link will suffice. Dirk Beetstra T C 07:54, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The template should stay on Wikipedia. As we know that on Wikipedia,Box Office India is used as the primary source for boxoffice figures of Bollywood films.On 20 January 2014,Box Office India revamped its website completely.There is separate page of actors ,actress,each Bollywood film on Box Office India. Its on the lines of reliable sources Box Office Mojo and IMDB templates on wikipedia. For Bollywood films,Box Office India template has to kept for Bollywood films -specific details

((Box Office India)) is much better than IMDB or Boxofficemojo,becasue:

  1. They give every detail of Bollywood actors and Bollywoof films with a separate page'
  2. Each film is accompanied by its box-office-verdict which is not present in either IMDB ,boxofficemojo or bollywoodhunagama. Important notes are accompained on each film page.
  3. First time,Box Office India is providing a complete repository of Bollywood films from 1940 to 2014(till date).No other site provides that much huge data and relevant information about Bollywood films. If you are thinking for Tfd for this, then first think about Template:Bollywood Hungama,Box Office Mojo and IMDB templates on wikipedia. what is their purpose on wikipedia--Nehapant19 (talk) 20:02, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"most credible" is not saying much. India's major national paper The Times of India recently stopped reporting box office numbers because there is not officially documented accurate reporting, only estimates based on self reported numbers which are frequenlyt hyped and fake. [1] there is no evidence that BOI's reporters are any better at verification than The Times, and they so admit: "YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BOX OFFICE INDIA AND ITS AFFILIATES DO NOT CONTROL, REPRESENT OR ENDORSE THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS OR RELIABILITY OF ANY OF THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON THE WEB SITE " -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 13:57, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(devil's advocate: wouldn't the use of a template allow bot clean up with much greater ease than manual clean up?) -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 05:01, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I keep hearing the "keep" editors talking about how credible and reliable BOI is as a general rule. To that, I say (and I and others have said before) "[citation needed]". Repeating an unsupported (and disputed, from what I've seen on talkpages and AfD) premise many times as if it were true does not make it so! DMacks (talk) 15:55, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
