Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Templates (articles)

message: I'm not so sure Template:Db-A7 needs to be directed to Db-bio. Bio implies relation to a single person as in a biography.. but the text of Db-A7 and Db-bio both also say "web content and organization", which aren't biographies. Db-A7 used to direct to Db-bio but back in December, after discussion, the consensus was that it be made into a generic WP:CSD#A7 template directly because of WP:CSD#A7 stating not just people but web content and organizations as well.

thread_title: Comments

message: Slight differences in wording (involving the words "which" and "and"):
*In the table above: "as a non-free image or medium claiming fair use but with no fair use rationale which has been tagged as not having a rationale for more than 7 days"
*Happy-melon's version in template which has two "which's": "...as a non-free image or media file, which claims fair use but has no fair use rationale, which has been tagged as not having a rationale for more than 7 days."
*I, thinking that if there are two "which's" it's good to have an "and" between them, just changed it in the template to: "as a non-free image or media file, which claims fair use but has no fair use rationale, and which has been tagged as not having a rationale for more than 7 days" --Coppertwig (talk) 01:58, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Details of I6 wording

message: The template currently says "as a non-free image that fails some part of the non-free content criteria, after the uploader has been given appropriate notification. The grace period is 48 hours for images uploaded after 2006-07-13, or seven days for images uploaded before that date or tagged with the  template or similar"  I like Happy-melon's use of "grace period" in the wording like that; however, this still suffers from the problem I described at WT:Criteria for speedy deletion#I7 self-contradictory.  I suggest changing the 2nd part to one of these (I prefer the first):
*"The grace period is 48 hours, except that a grace period of seven days is given for images uploaded before 2006-07-13 or tagged with the Replaceable fair use template or similar."
*"The grace period is 48 hours for images uploaded after 2006-07-13 which are not tagged with the Replaceable fair use template or similar, and seven days otherwise."

message: This revision does not seem very helpful, as templates are more often than not dealt with in an informal basis. Was there a more specific reason than "reversion"?... --Izno (talk) 21:37, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I would reword. Template and category merges may be proposed on talk pages, but under no circumstances should they have merge tags, as it causes problems with categorization. It's recommended to take categories and templates to categories for discussion or templates for discussion instead. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 22:03, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  I would not say that "templates are more often than not dealt with in an informal basis". But that is not the point. As Dondegroovily correctly pointed out, templates are indeed sometimes dealt with without intervention of official discussion venues such as Tfd, simply by discussing the issue on the talkpage. I had a very nice example of that yesterday. But if they are already tagged for merging, then they should be tagged with the correct merge tag, which is . So I see no reason for a rewording of the present text, which says precisely that. In other words: it is correct that discussion on a talkpage is a valid alternative to tagging. But when a template shows up here, that means that that venue has not been chosen. So there is no need to refer the reader back to that alternative, no reason to mention it at this stage any more. Debresser (talk) 23:56, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm don't agree on "But when a template shows up here, that means that that venue has not been chosen"; I would think it is somewhat obvious that there are people who will tag a template for merge and then have the discussion on the talk page, as was done here (and I'm sure has been done elsewhere, as Donde has I'm sure seen), without expectation that it should be moved to a tfd (as Donde did with Mario franchise, which is what spurred my post here). There should definitely be some rewording on this category if not the TfD template. Thoughts? --Izno (talk) 23:56, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: United States and Worldwide

message: I have updated the article to include references to Western Canada and Australia and to make clear what we are speaking of when we speak of a "roadside attraction" — a modern, highway-based tourist trap.  In the sense that this article is currently using for "roadside attraction", the phenomenon is basically centered on these three countries, so I don't think we need the "globalize" tag anymore.  The question is whether we want to expand the article to cover all "roadside attractions" of every kind throughout history...and if we do, then we need to rethink the article.  First of all, are such things necessarily known as "roadside attractions", or is "roadside attraction" primarily a more specific term for the type of tourist traps popular (formerly) in the U.S., Canada, and Australia?  Second, what are some examples?  We shouldn't re-add the "globalize" tag until we are clear on roughly what we should be adding here.  Mr. IP 《Defender of Open Editing》 19:10, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Globalize tag 

message: I don't personally mind if it's mentioned in the article, but noting that I'm not quite sure it qualifies as a true roadside attraction (there are very similar attractions in other places, like confusion hill in Humboldt county that would, being literally on the side of the road on US route 101). mystery spot, though, is not along any major thoroughfare, it's somewhat tucked away behind the main part of town, in the hills. so, you do kind of have to go out of your way to go to it. BUT, I don't think many people make a trip to Santa Cruz JUST to go to the mystery spot - so in that sense, it maybe qualifies. 
it's not correct, and somewhat libelous to call it pseudoscience, too. SCIENCE FICTION is more accurate: even though the guided tours/demonstrations 'present' it as 'real', it is understood by all that it is fiction (and optical illusions) and it is purely for entertainment/show. pseudoscience carries fraudulent implications and that is not true, and this is not the case. it would be helpful if the zealous pseudoscience crusaders on wikipedia (that there are enormous numbers of) would concentrate their efforts on the pseudosciences out there that have dangerous real world consequences - like anti-medicine, anti-ecology, creationism etc - that running around making sure every single harmless cultural manifestation of paranormalism, divination, astrology etc - that matters not one bit whatsoever - gets dragged through the mud Firejuggler86 (talk) 07:48, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

message: The page title guideline WP:TITLESPECIALCHARACTERS strongly advises against using symbols in the titles of articles, indicating to avoid them and never use them. The Numero sign ("№") is a unicode letterlike symbol and not an ordinary Latin character. It cannot be typed on an ordinary keyboard and only appears to be used in one source, in Russian text. Upon translation to English, the symbol is translated to the abbreviation "No."  The Manual of Style does permit acronyms to be used in titles, but only where the acronym is commonly used in place of the organisation's name. In this case, the symbol appears to be short for the word "number", as it is followed by the digit 3. The corresponding article in Russian uses the name "Karachay Jamaat" and notes that the organization is sometimes called "Muslim Society No. 3". Translation software consistently translates the Numero symbol, if used in Russian, to the latin abbreviation "No." in English. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 11:53, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
