Template:United States spring storms (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template serves what purpose? This has never been done before and more or less duplicates other yearly tornado and storm templates. In my opinion, this is unnecessary. United States Man (talk) 20:48, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's similar to Template:United States winter storms, alias for spring. Only major events (floods, nor'easters, tornado outbreaks), I'm currently debating whether or not I want to include going back to at least 2011 (when the Super Outbreak happened). Going further back will probably be split into decades or centuries, similar to how the winter one is, and include historic or staggering weather events. --MarioProtIV (talk) 20:54, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This template seems to be more or less a duplicate of winter storms.09:47, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

I'm still not quite sure why this should be deleted. It provides useful navigation to the sections (or articles) of the season. --MarioProtIV (talk) 10:56, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Pointless duplicate of Template:United States winter storms. -- Millionsandbillions (talk) 17:20, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep - I legitimately don't understand why people think this should be deleted, we could make this a yearly thing on here, and as MarioProtIV said, it is very useful for navigation. Jdcomix (talk) 13:09, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This template is not as analogous to {{United States winter storms}} as I thought. First of all, the argument that it is redundant to winter storms is silly. This template is about storms in a time period when ice/snow is unlikely, so these articles clearly don't belong in the winter storms template. On the other hand, this template groups storms by a season, which I don't think is particularly useful. The winter storms template is really a template about a specific type of storm. Readers interested in a major snow storm in 1979 are likely to be similarly interested in a major snow storm in 1981. There is a clear commonality in type of weather event there. There's no such commonality in the spring, where we have rain storms, the occasional snow or ice storm, tornadoes, etc. I do think readers of rain storms may also want to read about tornadoes, but that has nothing to do with them both happening in the spring. In other words, the inclusion criteria based on time of year seems arbitrary. Possibly a category would work better here? ~ Rob^Talk 14:04, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How about merging into the winter template or something with the group "Misc."? Not so keen on this but it could work. --MarioProtIV (talk) 23:55, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Actually now I am agreeing deleting this as the winter merging isn't a good idea. --MarioProtIV (talk) 21:17, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Category in year (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Year by category (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Category in year with Template:Year by category.
As stated by the creator, this is just a fork of Template:Year by category with the major difference that the categories' generic name is prepended as in Category:Animals described in 2005 rather than appended as in Category:2005 in the United States. This subtle variation should be rather easy to incorporate into Template:Year by category, though the |cat= parameter would need to be renamed to |suffix= or |post=, to accommodate a new |prefix= or |pre= parameter.

Oppose – Looks like an intellectually interesting exercise but I don't see any benefit of this change. How would we justify the massive effort of converting all existing usage to the new proposed syntax? — JFG ^talk 05:31, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Huahine family tree (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unreferenced since 2015 and no transclusions. At best convert to an article or just delete. Magioladitis (talk) 09:37, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I just added referencing and transcluded the template into several pages when appropriate ☞Henry☜ 03:01, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Cat's Eyes (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unnecessary – only two articles listed in the template, which can be linked to each other on the respective article pages. FamblyCat94 (talk) 05:12, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to me this links 5 articles--the band, its 2 members, and the 2 articles in question (as well as the "related link for a 6th article). Keep. --Izno (talk) 11:53, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
