From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template is massive and in desperate need of a split. I'm thinking create Template:Robert Pollard and move all his solo work and other bands there, but I'm open to other suggestions. There may also be more purging that can be done on top of my initial pass (not enough time to check every link and see if they're all articles, but if any are redirects then they should go).

Oppose delete, leaning in favour of a split for Robert Pollard's non GBV work. Circus Devils could probably justify a navbox of its own for example. --woodensuperman 14:01, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Would also support the Circus Devils template, though it may not be entirely necessary depending on the size of the Pollard box. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 15:19, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

One of multiple producers so can hardly be considered the "primary creator" for these films per WP:FILMNAV --woodensuperman 15:42, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not primary creator for the films he produced as one of many producers for these. Once these are removed, there is nothing left. WP:FILMNAV --woodensuperman 15:14, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Have removed everything that falls foul of WP:FILMNAV, practically nothing left. --woodensuperman 15:12, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Appearances on specific TV programming is textbook WP:PERFNAV --woodensuperman 14:16, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

These are television appearances. Textbook WP:PERFNAV. --woodensuperman 08:51, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Since someone had the great idea to redirect every single one of their albums this template is now useless FMSky (talk) 08:21, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. --woodensuperman 09:02, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I restored some of the album articles with reference to reviews. The template has now enough links for it to be useful again. --Mika1h (talk) 12:08, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If the articles, remain then okay to keep. However, please do not restore unlinked or red-linked/redirected links. --woodensuperman 13:01, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This long and difficult to maintain template was created in 2004 when Internet penetration in India (and Wikipedia) was still in its infancy. Things have changed since then. We now have the {{Awards and decorations of the Indian Armed Forces}} which was created in 2012 which is in reasonably good shape and can be kept. For civilian awards there is numerous award lists and templates and categories for literature, arts, science & technology, cinema and sports which are also in good shape and should be kept. This template has outlived its importance and I see no reason it should be kept. Solomon7968 06:00, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not used. If someone wishes to use an obsolete license for a particular reason, Commons is thataway and has its own c:Template:Cc-by-sa-3.0-au. We really shouldn't be encouraging the use of out-of-date licenses any more than necessary. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:48, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
