Template:Baby Boomer Toys

Template:Baby Boomer Toys (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Extremely unfocused, massive template that seems half OR more than anything else. Purportedly this template collects together the iconic toys of "baby boomers," but its more a list of films, television series, and comics from 1946-1964 more than any specific toys. I see no navigational purpose to having this template at all. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 14:39, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

KEEP. Nominator has been "following me around" nominating my work for deletion. She recently nominated two articles (for which I did considerable work) for deletion and wiki consensus shot her down. She has been reverting, rephrasing, deleting, and repositioning my work in articles all of 2 very short minutes after I save the page! An administrator had to step in on one occasion to tell her to cool it. She doesn't like me for some reason and wants me banned. Read through her archives; she has difficulty treating people in a courteous manner and gets people riled. Sorry to bring this up here. *sigh* It's so very sad. All I want to do is good work for WP but all I get is one person following me around nominating my work for deletion. Collectonian could have gone to my talk page and addressed her concerns about this template. But no, slapping it up on the TfD page is the way to go, I guess. *sigh* I would never do something like that to another Wikipedian.

No real use for these beyond an article on the specific games or possibly on seasons. In either case, this is a really bad precedent to set. No widespread use possible. Woohookitty 05:23, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
