The result of the discussion was delete

Project banner was mistakenly nominated at WP:MFD instead of here. Moving discussion at request of nominator. All comments made previously at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Template:WikiProject Arts are reproduced below, starting with the proper nomination statement. My moving of this nomination is not intended as a statement for or against. RL0919 (talk) 23:24, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

The Arts project doesn't use a banner. It's an umbrella project overseeing/coordinating a large family of projects, in turn looking after hundreds of thousands of articles. We don't have time to banner all these articles, nor would there be any point as assessments etc. are done by the constituent projects. If would be best to delete this template, otherwise some people may think it is in use, and waste their time distributing it. -- Klein zach  08:47, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: I created it to replace some s, but it is no longer used. —Ms2ger (talk) 18:32, 14 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Not to nitpick, but shouldn't this be moved to TfD? MfD is only for pages in the Wikipedia:, User:, Portal:, Help:, and MediaWiki: namespaces, as well as talk namespaces... A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 06:10, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Probably does belong at TfD. In the meantime, I put "noinclude" tags around the MfD notice, because it was showing up on every page where the template was transcluded, making it look like each of those pages was nominated for deletion. (The tag used for TfDs is specially designed to make it clear that only the template is nominated, not the page it is used on.) --RL0919 (talk) 20:48, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I was under the impression that all project-related stuff went to Mfd. Obviously I was wrong. If someone can help move this cleanly over to Tfd I'd be grateful. -- Klein zach  22:53, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I can move it to today's TfD page and update the tagging. Only significant consequence will be to "reset the clock" on the seven days for discussion. I don't want to move it into the page for the 14th because that could throw some folks off who already made their comments on those discussions. --RL0919 (talk) 23:16, 16 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Note: New comments since move to TfD should be placed below this note.


 * Comment how about converting this to a warning that there is no such template, and to please use a template from one of the subprojects? 76.66.197.2 (talk) 05:47, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I don't think it would actually be used. It's not as if there are lots of these boxes out there 'in the wild'. -- Klein zach  06:21, 20 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - seems to have been created by mistake/misunderstanding. This template isn't needed, as one of the templates for the various sub-WikiProjects should be used instead. Robofish (talk) 18:53, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was keep

Newer director who has only directed four titles to date. Not enough to warrant having a template at this point. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 06:59, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Four is about a reasonable dividing line, to be sure. As a matter of opinion, I think it sufficient.  Clearly not something set in stone as policy that I can find.  ence, default to Keep. Collect (talk) 12:04, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. As per Collect above. VasuVR  ( talk,  contribs ) 08:20, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
