September 10

Template:Nonnotable content

Template:Nonnotable content (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template directly contradicts WP:N#Notability guidelines do not limit content within an article. It's transcluded in four articles, all of which would be better served by a template like {{overly detailed}}. DoctorKubla (talk) 11:03, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

  • Keep—I proposed creating such a template, and then created it, more than a year ago, and it met with no opposition whatsoever. I even waited more than a year after posting at the talk of WP:TC to see if there would be any problems with it, and no one raised any. It is therefore strange that it comes up now. However, to the point: it doesn't contradict the notability guideline. The guideline just points out that you can include content inside an article that you wouldn't be able to have as a separate article. It does not say that you can add any information you want as long as it's inside an article (that, indeed, would be a contradiction of the WP:NOT policy). The current template talks about clearly excessive and/or unencyclopedic content inside of articles, and indeed in certain cases it can overlap with {{overly detailed}}. This is no reason to delete it, but if it is not clear what the template is about, we can work together to make it more clear. —Ynhockey 12:00, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Template:Governments of Turkey

Delete. Orphan, less informative, and redundant to Template:Cabinets of Turkey Ithinkicahn (talk) 08:12, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Template:Metro Line

Template:Metro Line (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Delete. Metro Line, currently the only article using this template, already lists all the stations, and provides links to all the articles linked to in this template. 117Avenue (talk) 05:22, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
