Template:Infobox YouTube personality (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

An infobox for people on the YouTube service, with too much emphasis on ever-changing numbers. Template:Infobox comedian and Template:Infobox person already accomodate this, and in a better way. Infoboxes are by occupation or type, not commercial service. JacktheHarry (talk) 17:51, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:2010s controversial killings of African Americans (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This navbox does not include a parent article. How are these subjects connected and what is the defined scope? There should be an article that ties these individuals together. Otherwise, this is cherry picking. --Another Believer (Talk) 17:25, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Grand'mere Eugene: You may request that the closing administrator "userfy" the list for potential conversion to an article or list. Please take note of the issues regarding criteria for inclusion mentioned in this TfD, and those of Nokkenbuer below. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 02:21, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The navbox is not here to imply that any of these events had racial motivations; only that there has been widespread question raised as to such, resulting in controversy reported in the media. Labeling something "controversial" is not necessarily a POV issue; in this case, it simply implies that there has been polarization around these individual events for the same reasons. -OrbitHawk (talk) 15:07, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • In addition to my comment above, I'd like to note that the recent creation of a parent article wouldn't change my vote, as the parent article was clearly created with the sole intent of affecting this deletion conversation. Let the parent article survive its own deletion discussion, then we can remake this template. NickCT (talk) 20:30, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Airreg (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Generates an inline external link to registration entries at various aviation registration authorities based on aircraft registration, it provides no added value to the article and ignores the fact that aircraft registrations are not unique so it can also generate the wrong information. On the rare occassions it needs to be used as a reference then normal cite web templates can be used. MilborneOne (talk) 11:59, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This has been nominated for deletion before -[1] and kept.Nigel Ish (talk) 15:49, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It has been suggested that this would be far better formated as a reference citation rather than creating an external link, I dont have a problem with using these sites as a reference but creating an external link in the middle of an article doesnt really add anything. MilborneOne (talk) 09:07, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm happy to give it a go at modifying the template, if I manage to. --Deeday-UK (talk) 19:59, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The 'Aircraft registration' article is already linked by the word 'Registration' in the Infobox 'aircraft occurrence' and typically by the same word in the article body, when present, e.g. "The accident airplane, registration N93119, [...]", so linking the same article also through the Airreg template would create duplication. --Deeday-UK (talk) 21:01, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I've created a test template in my sandbox that implements my previous suggestions. For example, with this modified version of Airreg, the code ((Airreg|N|470A)) would produce:
N470A[1]
adding an entry in the References section, thus:

References

  1. ^ "FAA Registry". Federal Aviation Administration.
The same would happen with the handful of aviation authorities that are currently supported (Canadian, Australian etc.) and the template would also be 'fail safe', i.e. if applied to a nationality that is not supported (e.g. German), it simply returns the aircraft registration (so acting as a provision, in case in future that national registry becomes implementable in the template); for example, ((Airreg|D|ARZK)) would simply return
D-ARZK
No other websites are referenced by the template, apart from supported national aviation authorities. I'll update the Airreg template soon, unless there are objections. --Deeday-UK (talk) 19:23, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As original proposer I support your change User:Deeday-UK and as such I think we can close this request, thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 19:49, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:EMedicineDictionary (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I have never found a useful link from eMedicine dictionary. What these links link to are a one or two line description of something in a website that's saturated with advertising. There's no encyclopedic value in these links, they do not help readers, and there is no reason we should be providing these en masse to users over other dictionaries. These links never provide more information that a stub article provide. Therefore I am proposing deletion. Tom (LT) (talk) 06:43, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

in every case where you think it's "reasonable" as a dictionary/thesaurus, they should be citing Webster's New World Medical Dictionary as above. It appears this spammy emedicine site copied without attribution.  —Chris Capoccia TC 11:55, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
