Template:Good
Delete — User:Piedras grandes has created a number of "Good article"/"Bad article templates" and started applying them willy-nilly. The "Good" ones overlap with WP:GA; the bad ones are, well, bad. &mdash;Bunchofgrapes (talk) 20:59, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete them all. Template:Good, Template:Bad, Template:Good Article, etc. Unhelpful, randomly applied spam. KillerChihuahua?!? 21:00, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Template:Good Article and Template:Bad Article were nothing but trasclusions of Template:Good and Template:Bad; I deleted them already. &mdash;Bunchofgrapes (talk) 21:07, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as a duplicate of work at WP:GA. Slambo (Speak)  21:58, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as patent nonsense. SycthosTalk 23:55, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per above. --Angr ( tɔk ) 15:57, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, WP:GA has that use covered, and saying an article is bad with no comment on how to improve it isn't helpful. Every specific cleanup template already does that better. - Bobet 16:49, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as redundant with several other templates, traditions (e.g., featured article), and the fact that you're supposed to use the talk pages for stuff like this. --James S. 07:02, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per above. --Angr ( tɔk ) 15:57, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Gorgan. Lots of the cleanup templates are there for people who notice something wrong but can't fix it due to e.g. lack of time (cleanup-rewrite) or ability (cleanup-english). If you spot minor errors then they are quick to fix and you know how. Hairy Dude 02:59, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Neutral. I agree with User:Gryffindor above. The graphic is good and copyedit has no graphic. Why not put this graphic in copyedit? Daniel Pritchard 05:51, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes I agree, it would be rather a pity I think, considering the graphic is quite neat and could help to identify the copyedit template on the article's page easier... Gryffindor  03:36, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Template:Makesense
Delete — An example of WP:BITE, I think. We already have confusing and cleanup-importance which appear to cover all bases. Stifle 18:58, 17 January 2006 (UTC) Stifle 18:58, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Stifle. SycthosTalk 00:03, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Ironically this template is patent nonsense, and should be added to itself, also, terrible picture — Preceding unsigned comment added by name (talk • contribs)
 * Keep. I agree that confusing gets the point across fine. I enjoy, though, using this template on my user page, just for fun...maybe we could move it to the userboxes section. bcatt 06:59, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Then you can/should subst it to your user page :) Stifle 11:41, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Also, the author shouldn't need to "clarify their position" - since articles should be NPOV, there should be no position. --Aleron235 23:36, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. If you doubt the need for this template, just look at EDHF, currently in need of wikification: this article needs clarification and the confusing template doesn't give a strong enough message. I agree that it hints ever so slightly at WP:BITE, mind you. I reckon that it works best with, as a supplementary appeal. --die Baumfabrik 08:23, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Template:Badbio
Delete — This template is redundnat clutter. If something deserves this tag, then it deserves deletion, in which case this tag serves no person. It's not like "verify", or cleanup tags, which give direction as to what somebody can do to fix an article. If we wish to give advice to the creator about where to go, we should do so on their talk page, and not have this which is seen by all our readers, who must wander why keep aricles that don't belong. Rob 07:03, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. It can be placed on the user's talk page if desired. Stifle 11:45, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * How about removing the ambiguity from the wording so that this template is only used for talk pages (and instead references the article in question). I liked notability except for it being too general, so I just made bio-notability.  What do you think about that one?  &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-01-17 13:22Z 
 * Keep and reword. Only allow this to be used on Talk pages. &mdash;gorgan_almighty 14:28, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge as redundant. We have nn-bio for the page, and nn-warn for the creator's talk page. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 16:28, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to nn-warn. That already has all the information needed, no need for a merge. DES (talk) 17:04, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as useless. We have templates covering that information, and most users would immediately propose AfD instead. Also, I do not understand why you want to redirect &#123;{badbio}}. When that template becomes unused, nobody would use the name of that template. SycthosTalk 00:06, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * New policy/guidelines I agree that in this state this template doesn't work that great.  But by just warning people that have already written a nn-bio we're just treating the sympotoms not the real issue.  I really think that we need to make it clearer that there are other options if people want to have their biographical information done wiki-style.  The system as it is is obviously not working as nn-bios are ones of the biggest time drains the site has to deal with.  This template and the "linkspam" that someone so deftly deleted was attempting to deal with that bigger issue.  At least that's what I remember about it's inception.  --Wotwu 00:31, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment That is a really ugly template, if kept, can it be made.. you know, less ugly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by name (talk • contribs)

 * Delete per above. --Angr ( tɔk ) 15:57, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: The template is not redundant to nn-warn, which implies an impending speedy deletion. Stifle 00:22, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Revert to the version which quotes the Wikime and Wikitree projects and add a note to say - put on the user talk page (now that anon new articles are banned). I always like to be positive, rather than saying "we don't want your bio", it is better to tell them what they can do with it. -- RHaworth 07:06, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree: it is better to have a constructive tag that also explains where they can go instead, than the "this article sucks" tag directed at administrators. &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-01-19 08:49Z 
 * Comment - The 10 November version would work better as a replacement for rather than  — it would be appropriate on talk pages, but not articles (and non-notable bios should be put up for speedies or AfD anyway).
 * Delete. <sup style="color:green;">Blank <sup style="color:#F88017;">Verse 13:44, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

 * delete and redirect to disambig TreyHarris 03:59, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * That would not be prudent, as it would violate several existing guidelines. These are not disambiguation pages.  Like shipindex, the attempt to treat them as the same resulted in serious structural problems. And like shipindex, the preferred solution is to replace with another template and category, in this case 4LC. I've been working on that as part of the orphaning process. --William Allen Simpson 18:49, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: While the nomination has been withdrawn, the notice still exists on the template. This should be kept as it isn't harming anything, and it is presently being used correctly in places. Seen HANE. Avriette 15:10, 29 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Withdrawn by nominator: Some are disputing the orphaning procedure, and progress is suspended until resolution of this issue. --William Allen Simpson 23:10, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
