Template:Danny Hilton (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Article that may have been created in the template namespace to bypass the creation protection on its mainspace link. Notability of the subject, on initial inspection, is borderline. Super Mario Man 19:53, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unused. Looks like an embryonic version of {{DEL}}. DH85868993 (talk) 12:53, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

history merge or redirect, this was most likely created due to this error which caused the edit link in {{DEL}} to point to a different template (namely this one). Frietjes (talk) 14:54, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, unused, broken, redundant. And no, it wasn't created due to that error, this template has somehow slipped under the radar for six years. No reason to merge history or redirect. Reso lute 22:22, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox fictional business (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Inappropriately in-universe template deployed on only a handful of articles. A fictional business may be a notable plot point, but there is zero value in including an infobox which lists comparative information (address, opening hours) for an entity which does not actual exist in the real world. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 09:53, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

weak keep, but cut some of the in-universe cruft to be more like template:infobox character. note, see tfd of infobox fictional artifact for some discussion concerning infoboxes for fictional things. see template:infobox Shannara location, for another fictional place infobox. I have no strong opinion on whether either of these should exist or not. Frietjes (talk) 16:48, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It is very likely that at least 90% of Category:Fictional character infobox templates should be deleted, as well as the articles that transclude the things in that cat. We certainly don't want to create "fictional" analogues for every existing infobox, and the ones which aren't yet entrenched (such as this one) are the lowest-hanging fruit. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 09:44, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - sure, I agree. my thought was that we could start by merging them into more generic templates. by the way, I think in all cases where this template is used, it could be argued as redundant to {{infobox fictional location}}, since they are about singular businesses, and not a company with multiple locations. another group for you is Template:Infobox Harry Potter location and the others in that series.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep, but cut some of the in-universe cruft to be more like template:infobox character. Exactly!--BabbaQ (talk) 17:48, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
comment: Category:Fictional companies exhibits an extensive list of fictional companies that would perhaps be in need of an infobox, but then the template needs to be altered to contain who invented it (f.ex. Tony Warren, Microsoft) for what purpose (cartoon, TV series, film, education), etc.. The current form of it is designed in an in-universe style which is kind of violating the MoS. Rursus dixit.

delete, or history merge, although it looks like both sets were created by the same author, so history merging is not critical. Frietjes (talk) 14:55, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
