Template:Smith Media (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Navbox that is only used on the article for the company itself, and not on the other articles it links to; it was previously in use on the WKTV and WKTV-DT2 articles, but following the sale of WKTV to another company the navbox was removed from those articles. An earlier TfD in January was closed as no consensus, but the door was left open for a renomination following the aforementioned sale's completion; that has happened, and so here we are.

Template:Crimean Crisis of 2014 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unneeded template. Absolutely duplicate of the navbox {{2014 Crimean crisis}}. NickSt (talk) 15:31, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose deletion (speedy keep) - It is common to have both a sidebar and navbox available for different uses. However, I'm more startled by the clear bad faith expressed by Nickst in this regard. We had a slight disagreement about the title of the template, and I directed him to the talk page. However, instead of discussing it with me there, where I left commentary, he nominated said template for deletion. RGloucester — ☎ 15:37, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nickst has now added a brief remark to the talk page, but I want to make it clear that he did not do this until well after he nominated the template for deletion. RGloucester — ☎ 16:14, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And what. Title discussion and duplicate problem are independent things. WP:AGF NickSt (talk) 16:19, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is quite clear that you did not treat them as independent, and I'm sure third party observers would see this way as well. You could've nominated the template for deletion at first. You did not. You only did so after a dispute arose, that you, for some reason, preferred not to discuss. However, you are correct in that we should not discuss matters of good/bad faith further here, as this is a deletion discussion based on the merits of your arguments, which have been thoroughly debunked. RGloucester — ☎ 16:23, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:NAV: The two main types of navigation template are navboxes and sidebars. The two serve similar purposes: to allow related subjects to link to each other easily in a consistent manner. NickSt (talk) 15:51, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please read further on, my dear fellow. Yes, they do serve similar purposes. There is no doubt of that. However, as one will see if one read on: "The two types are used interchangeably, and either or both may be appropriate in different circumstances". RGloucester — ☎ 16:00, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You want to say, we can create one more sidebar-analog for each navbox?! NickSt (talk) 16:04, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't want to say anything. I'm merely reading the essay WP:NAV, which you cited incompletely. Regardless, it is an essay, and hence non-binding. RGloucester — ☎ 16:06, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Agree per nom, that this is essentially a duplicate. I think our time would be spent more wisely if we were occupied with writing good text and articles than fighting over a template. DDima 18:14, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct about the waste of time, however you are incorrect about the template. You've not provided justification for why the template must be deleted. Merely that it is a "duplicate". However, as has been stated, it is usual to have both available for different purposes, as it says in the essay the nominator cited. RGloucester — ☎ 18:32, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have my view and you have your view. I think this template should be deleted. DDima 21:55, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
But if you do not explain why, how can one understand what one says? RGloucester — ☎ 00:54, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete it does look like a duplication of the navbox, and the latter allows many more links compared to this template. RGloucester is right in that there are cases where it is desirable to have both a sidebar and a navbox, but that doesn't mean that having them is mandatory.—eh bien mon prince (talk) 18:34, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"It is not mandatory" is not a rationale for deleting something that otherwise causes no harm, but can be useful. RGloucester — ☎ 18:37, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
WP:TFD#REASONS #2, if you need a bureaucratic explanation.—eh bien mon prince (talk) 19:40, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That does not apply, as this is a sidebar, and not a navbox. RGloucester — ☎ 22:55, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There's no doubt that this sidebar is not meant to be used that way it is on the page you cited. That is a perfect example of a page that, according to WP:NAV, would be well suited to having only a sidebar, as it does not have an infobox. However, once again, I do not understand how it is "redundant". It is an entirely separate style of navigation template. It is common to have both options available. It does no harm. It is well designed, and pleasant to look at. There is no reason to delete well-wrought templates with the potential to aid us. I shall add that that page was created with this template. The navbox was added by the nominator after the fact, despite the fact that he should've realised that this would've been incorrect use of the navbox. RGloucester — ☎ 00:48, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This comment does not address the substance of the debate. Remember, Cmoilbenlepro, that this is not a vote. Please give us a proper reason for your stated viewpoint. RGloucester — ☎ 23:07, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This is entirely because, as I said earlier, the nominator Nickst embarked on a campaign to place the navbox on articles which had previously only had the sidebar. This is unacceptable, in its entirety. RGloucester — ☎ 23:03, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Here is an example of the behaviour that I mentioned in my comment above: link. RGloucester — ☎ 23:11, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And he did so, unchallenged, well before the TfD was started. Can you provide an example of a page that would be improved in its layout by removing the navbox but adding (or retaining) the sidebar?—eh bien mon prince (talk) 23:24, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Unchallenged, of course, because I don't want to start an edit war about templates, which is the last thing we need. Keep in mind that I did not place that template to start with. However, the page in question is a very good example. Short pages without infoboxes are well-suited to sidebars, and are in fact where sidebars are meant to be placed, as is written in the essay our dear nominator cited, WP:NAV. That is why, presumably, the creator of the page decided to create it WITH the sidebar, but WITHOUT the navbox, until Nickst placed the navbox there. Shouldn't those who create articles have that choice available to them? RGloucester — ☎ 23:38, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, the article Partition Treaty on the Status and Conditions of the Black Sea Fleet could benefit from using the Template:Infobox treaty. I won't add it myself because of this ongoing discussion, but if someone else decided to add it, that would not leave space for a sidebar.—eh bien mon prince (talk) 01:15, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Such a small article, a stub, which is mainly known for its connection to the crisis, does not need an infobox. It is better served by the sidebar. RGloucester — ☎ 01:18, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not correct. Once again, this only because of a campaign by Nickst to place the navbox on pages that previously had the sidebar. I'm not going to remove his navboxes and start an edit war, so the result is what you get. This is not a fair criteria for deletion, nor is it uncommon for sidebars and navboxes to coexist. I do not understand your hatred for sidebars. RGloucester — ☎ 14:37, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 05:49, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sidebars are inherently more visible, and more easy to comprehend to the reader. They provide a direct link at the top of the page to appropriate articles. They are flashy, look nice, and attract attention. I do not think that this can be a rationale for deletion. RGloucester — ☎ 22:45, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
