Orphaned, unneeded template Jaranda wat's sup 01:36, 10 October 2006 (UTC)


 * This is my first TFD discussion so I'm not up on all the terminology and process. I created this template.  It's orphaned because I tend to use the one in my user space User:Richardshusr/welcome-anon.  The one in Template space is a copy of the one in my user space.  I like the format of this template a lot.  I use it every time I find an anonymous user who has no welcome on the talk page.  It's a little strange welcoming an anonymous IP that is probably used by multiple users.  Nonetheless, it serves as a gentler beginning to what is likely to be a bunch of vandalism warning leading up to a block.


 * Can you explain why you think this is not needed? I think it's a lot better than Template:Welcome-anon and Template:Welcome-anon2.  --Richard 06:08, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if this template is really needed or better than the other two. But as far as I know these welcome templates are usually subst: so they can be orphaned even though they are used. --Bisco 10:53, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Templates could be userfied. Jaranda wat's sup 20:41, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The template is already userfied when I read that above right. If that is the decision the templatespace duplicate could be deleted. --Bisco 21:17, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, the template is already userfied but the reason a copy is in template space is in the hope that it will be used by others. (Being the author of the template, it makes sense that I might think it was the best of the lot.) If you think I should delete the copy in my user space, I will.  The real question is: why delete this template?  Is it less good than the other welcome-anon templates?  If it is not worse than the others, then either delete the others or let them all stay.  I can't see why deleting this template is important in the greater scheme of things.  --Richard 21:48, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

A template to automatically add external links to a number of articles. It allows to easily add spam links to several articles at the same time. Salvageable links can be included in the articles, and have the template deleted. ReyBrujo 18:45, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I intended this template to allow easy addition/removal of general external links, so they'd display on all pages without having to edit them all. Page-specific relivant links would be added individually. --HTL2001 (Talk|Contrib) 23:02, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

On inline template that serves no purpose except to link to a page. As a matter of fact, it links to a redirect. Basically replaces a Wikilink.

This template is redundant. It used to exist because it consisted of complicated table syntax that would make it awkward to edit the page Economy of the United States, but I replaced that with a cleaner infobox template, Template:Infobox Economy that I made. I've coppied the infobox to the Economy of the United States article, in line with the typical use of infobox templates. The same situation will come up for nearly all [Template:Economy of Country table]s as I work through them and apply the infobox, so I hope this can serve as a test case after which I do not have to go to TFD to delete every single one of these individually.

Unencyclopedic list without any definition which singers/songwriters should be incorporated. Will lead to a biased list and there is no official definition for what constitutes a Great American Songwriter/Singer. KittenKlub 12:19, 8 October 2006 (UTC) --Sicamous 18:14, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I created this template, and I think we need to define what Songwriters and Singers are included as main interpreters of this canon. With the growing resurgence in popularity of the Great American Songbook, I think this template acts a useful introduction for those readers and traffic new to this music. Gareth E Kegg 22:54, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Undecided. To me, the question is whether the list of songwriters in Great American Songbook is definitive. The article suggests it is, but without any sourcing. If it is, then the template is ok (I can live with some ambiguity in the interpreters list, since this is mainly about songwriters.) If it isn't, then the template is inherently problematic and should go. Wasted Time R 13:13, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep This template is helpful, and as Gareth E Kegg said that with the resurgence of popularity of this genre it would be VERY helpful as a introduction to it.
 * Keep Of course there is no "official" list of what constitutes a Great American Singer/Songwriter, but the term Great American Songbook is a very well-established term, widely used in song compilations by artists performing popular songs from the golden age of American popular songwriting generally acknowledged to have been between about 1920 and 1960, and referring mainly to those written by Tin Pan Alley songriters for Broadway musicals and Hollywood musical films. Some later composers, such as Burt Bacharach and Stephen Sondheim are also often included, because they wrote in a very similar style. Although the term refers to songs written by American songwriters, there is no implication that the singer must also be American. A performer's discography should easily demonstrate whether they belong in this category or not. Dermot 15:00, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * 'Keep. It's an artificial ideological construct, sure (usually favoured by those like Gene Lees who think American popular music went down the toilet with the invention of rock'n'roll & the advent of Dylan & the Beatles), but it's a useful grouping of a fairly coherent body of music, & I don't think there's any serious disagreement about the songwriters who are at the core of the GAS. --ND 18:23, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
