Dubrovnik nobility

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was no consensus. Appears to be a content dispute better resolved somewhere with more participation than obscure TfDs. Opabinia regalis (talk) 06:42, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fails TFD reasons 2 and 4. Both are replaced with Template:Republic of Ragusa topics. The two templates fail NPOV as representing noble families of the Republic of Ragusa as "Dubrovnik noble families", also using Croatian, and not Latin/Italian names for these. The city of DubrovnikRepublic of Ragusa. Zoupan 22:19, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In short: strong keep. I'm afraid this is a bad-faith, POV-pushing proposal, intended to advance a particular historiographic point of view. -- Director (talk) 23:53, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What is the problem in deleting obsolete templates? The notability of every single article listed is their Ragusan nobility status. There is no dispute over their importance and part in legacy of Dubrovnik, but using the term "nobility of Dubrovnik" for Ragusan nobility, and then using only Croatian names for these, is not suitable. It is anachronistic. Dubrovnik does not have nobility since long ago. Yes, when parts of the Ragusan nobility entered Austria-Hungary, they became part of that system. Descendants may exist today, but that does not mean that they are "Dubrovnik nobility". One should indeed be proud of his heritage, but not take these kind of things personal. These templates should be scrapped.--Zoupan 12:50, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that the template isn't "obsolete", but is instead being attacked because you disagree with the name forms used in it. You're deliberately attempting to render it "obsolete", by way of a duplicate template, so as not to have to actually push the changes you want to see. This is about your disagreeing with Wikipedia's use of perceived "neologisms".
Furthermore, it doesn't seem like you thought this through: your template "Republic of Ragusa topics" deals with subjects relating solely to the Republic of Ragusa (1358-1808), whereas the majority of these families have histories since as early as the 12th century, and continued to exist (in one form or another) for 200 years after the fall of the Republic. I.e. its scope appears to be about half the time these families existed. -- Director (talk) 11:29, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Could it be because Dubrovnik (Ragusa) is a Croatian town? But this illustrates my point from above: what's at issue here are the name forms used in the template, not the template itself. This is an attempt to deliberately try and make the template "obsolete", so as not to have to properly discuss its content, i.e. the said noble surnames (presumably due to lack of relevant arguments: all I've heard is "they're neologisms", which, even if accepted - doesn't matter per policy). -- Director (talk) 11:29, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A four-level series addressing vandalism to own talk page. Judging from an old discussion found on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject User warnings/Archive 1 this series created in 2007 was supposedly meant to deal with cases where users removed e.g. warning templates from their own user talk page. Judging from Previous revision of Wikipedia:User pages the templates would have seen very little meaningful use then, and likely even less now, were they to be promoted. They have never been part of the Uw series, and I can't see a reason for why they should be. Sam Sailor Talk! 13:15, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template seems to be added to every zoo navbox, which is not appropriate use, as the toplcs listed here are too broad to be linked in a geography specific navbox such as ((Zoos of California)). Fails WP:NAVBOX. Rob Sinden (talk) 15:13, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point, which I partly support, but then logically, the other links maybe also should be removed? Before I express any opionion, which links at the footer would you suggest as alternative? Dan Koehl (talk) 17:33, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't agree that the topics covered here are "too broad". They are essentially the same topics as are in the left column headings (zoos, aquariums, etc.), and they replace items that would otherwise probably be in the See Also section. Looking at the "Zoos of" templates now, I realize that the footer is actually redundant, since the categories at the left are linked. So if we retain the links on the left, I think this template becomes unnecessary. Don Lammers (talk) 22:51, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I propose changing the name of Template:English dogs to Template:British Isles dogs and merging Template:Welsh dogs, Template:Scottish dogs and Template:Irish dogs into it, in a similar manner to Template:Horse breeds of the British Isles. The histories of these countries and their dogs are intertwined, many of the breeds covered are shown in two or more of these templates and it will allow the separation of the Scottish, Welsh & Irish dogs into categories by role / type.

The template is meant to be for the characters of the fictional show Dil Dosti Dance, but has piped links to the actors and not characters unlike maybe how Template:Desperate Housewives has links to characters.

Less effective than and redundant to ((di-no permission-notice)). If an image is tagged with a free license but with no proof of permission by the copyright holder, it should be tagged for speedy deletion criterion F11 (((Npd))), which uses ((di-no permission-notice)) to notify users. Steel1943 (talk) 22:49, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Actually, that is not correct since the CSD criterion would still apply; the file would still have no proof of permission. Also, this nominated template is not part of the notification process for either forum just mentioned (FFD or PUF); those templates are ((Fdw)) and ((Fdw-puf)), respectively. Steel1943 (talk) 16:39, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • This would be an additional template to the FFD and PUF notification templates, indicating why it showed up at FFD or PUF. And if the file is not templated with the CSD, then the user should not have a CSD warning issued, since it is incorrectly warning about the wrong process. -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 06:01, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
