Template created in good faith by a new user but is a small subset and a duplicate of Template:RLM aircraft designations so is not needed and should be deleted. MilborneOne (talk) 20:04, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Redundant and incomplete. - BilCat (talk) 21:32, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. This template can aid navigation to notable aircraft in a particular role (the other template doesn't). If it was changed to make clear that it's not a complete list of WWII German aircraft and perhaps there were objective criteria for admission (e.g. >99 built or >9t) would it be OK ? DexDor (talk) 06:35, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I doubt it as it would become subjective and similar role would be better covered under categorisation like Category:German fighter aircraft 1940-1949 or the whole family of Category:World War II aircraft of Germany. MilborneOne (talk) 11:44, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Famous Georgetown University Alumni (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I'm looking for a consensus on this. I don't think it belongs as a template. The content is subjective, and it is only used on one page, Georgetown University. The template is just a filled out version of Template:Infobox Awards, and if we want it in the article, it should be included as that, rather than this template. The template's creator, meanwhile, was blocked indefinitely for sockpuppetry and repeatedly uploading copyrighted images, and a second template they created is already under discussion, and likely to be deleted. Patrick, _oѺ^∞ 14:14, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This serves as a gallery for a SIX people who have graduated from the university. Such inclusion is limited, because the size of the pictures prevents many more alumni to be included. This creates a pov because it will be endlessly debated who gets to be included in "these 6".Curb Chain (talk) 08:40, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and merge content Usage of Infobox Awards to house pictures is a nice way to concisely portray a representative sample of alumni, but we don't need a template just to house a template, which is the case here. —Eustress ^talk 17:59, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep content Nearly every other university has multiple pictures of noted alumni on the college's main article. Although this template is slighty unique, the concept is not. It should be kept. At the very least, even if the template is adjusted, the content and concept should remain. KingKalla 4 August 2011 (UTC)
Delete, we already have an array of images in the main list of Georgetown University alumni. 198.102.153.2 (talk) 17:59, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A marvellously intriguing (and unused) template. No longer needed. — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:05, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The original plan was to put it at the top of each planet's article - for easy navigation. Apparently no one but me felt that navigation was as important as being comprehensive. --Uncle Ed (talk) 19:26, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete redundant to {{Solar System}} Curb Chain (talk) 08:01, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
comment probably not a good idea to have the two of them, but this one is *much* better as a navigation aid than the huge-fancy-colourful one. So merge into "Solar system", which is older and as a better name would be my number one choice. Second choice is to keep and use as intended by Ed Poor/Uncle Ed (possibly rename to "Solar system tiny" ?...). The mergte could be so that {{Solar system|tiny=yes}} would show this one?... - Nabla (talk) 17:29, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Were there some well-argued reason for why the heavenly bodies are unique across our entire encyclopedia in requiring some custom navigation devide then so be it, but I can't see any. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 12:15, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Unique? Templates are common, so I presume you mean using at the top? Well... use it at the bottom. The real good thing is that it is not a overgrown-all-including template - Nabla (talk) 13:27, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - If {{solar system}} is overreaching then simplify it. There is no need for some custom template which includes only a handful of links in addition to the navbox. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 14:48, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - Isn't that exactly what I've said? «not a good idea to have the two of them», «merge [...] would be my number one choice» - Nabla (talk) 16:38, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        No. {{Solar System}} is a superset of this template and is already used wherever it is appropriate. No merge is necessary: this template can be deleted without adverse effect. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 17:48, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        No?! «not a good idea to have the two of them» is not similar to «There is no need for some custom template [...]»? Or «merge [...] would be my number one choice» not similar to «If [it] is overreaching then simplify it»?. (take 'merge' not strictly as the technical expression but the concept of using one's code into the other). You disagree exactly with me in what? I agree this template may be deleted, I simply think it's content is better than the other one, and suggest improving the other. You apparently fully agree with that (delete one, improve the other IF I think so), so why insist that you disagree with... what? I am getting lost here.- Nabla (talk) 18:14, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Everything in the nominated template is already in the larger template. The smaller template is therefore entirely surplus to requirements. Whether the larger template is subsequently edited to remove some of its egrecious distractions is not relevant to this discussion. If you want to use "merge" in new and novel ways heretofore uneplored in TfD that's your prerogative, but round here it usually means "some unique aspect of the nominated template must be transferred to the target template" and that isn't what I feel is required (or even possible) here. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 18:22, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Yes, «some unique aspect of the nominated template must be transferred to the target template»: its clarity and simplicity. Second, comparing this to very similar templates is relevant, more so because (IMO) template is better than the other one and thus learning is always good. - Nabla (talk) 22:26, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
