Template talk:The Devil Wears Prada

Inclusion of material without an existing article
According to WP:CLN, the guideline for all Wikipedia navboxes, the templates are defined as "boxes with links to other related articles." Therefore, by definition of the box, nothing should be added without an article. According to WP:NAVBOX, an essay ranked as "high" in the impact scale, "Navigation templates provide navigation between existing articles," and that "unlinked text should be avoided." The example given for what not to do, pertaining specifically to unlinked text, at WP:NAVBOX is Axis of Justice – a musical ensemble featuring many guest musicians that do not have articles. A discussion specifically about a music group's navbox took place at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Musicians, and a response from read as such: "The navbox exists to point to articles. If a song was not issued as a single, it usually isn't notable enough to have an article. I have seen a few cases where navboxes are used to make lists which are not links, but that is improper usage; it's a navigation box to help the reader navigate to other articles." So why is it, GunMetal, that you believe "articles within the musical databse are not exactly qualifications of indexes." and that they somehow exist outside or above the given guidelines? And how does the notability guideline that you linked play a role in that? Also, template guidelines aside, I'm almost positive none of the songs in question were actually released as singles—only as music videos. Fezmar9 (talk) 23:43, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
