Delete Rethinking that, I agree with the comment above. Standard succession boxes would have the same effect. Mamyles (talk) 22:58, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Philippine Film Awards Season (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The result of the discussion was Delete. While there is apparently some feeling that The Hemingway template is unwieldy as it stands, only one editor is speaking up for keeping the individual templates, which have all been merged to the main one.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 00:17, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redundant to {{Ernest Hemingway}} as all links are included there. See WP:CSD#T3. Rob Sinden (talk) 09:44, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's not how navboxes work. If that is the case, then the adaptations should be removed from the main Hemingway template, but per the previous discussion, that was decided against. --Rob Sinden (talk) 07:47, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Templates work that way at almost every author. Look at the adaptations of the works of the most important authors like Shakespeare and Dickens. The adaptions of their works have templates dedicated only to adaptations of those works. Hemingway is the only author that I have seen where his adaptations could have individual works, but those works have been merged back to the main author template. You are setting a dangerous precedent trying to use a one size fits all template for adaptations of works.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:02, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not suggesting that "one size fits all". You have two options here - merge to one template and delete all the little templates as redundant (which they are), or remove the adaptations from the big template, and just have the smaller templates on the adaptations, and not the main template. Either is fine with me, but there is no point in having the little templates if all the links are on the main template, as the navigation is already covered. The first course of action was already agreed upon, yet the little templates remain. --Rob Sinden (talk) 08:04, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and incidentally, most of the adaptations currently have both navboxes on (which is of course correct per WP:BIDIRECTIONAL). --Rob Sinden (talk) 07:59, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
