Completely unnecessary template. It will be absolutely useless once the Manhattan-bound side of the Culver Viaduct reopens next week. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 23:58, 15 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Note to closing admin Canvassed. — G FOLEY   F OUR  — 00:29, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Regardless of the canvassing (which was a bad idea Ranger), it's still a useless template. Not only is the construction a temporary condition that is expiring soon, length of the template's plain text compared to the name of the template makes it just as easy to add the text manually. Completely pointless. oknazevad (talk) 05:20, 16 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. So obviously useless that any canvassing makes no difference. Quite frankly, the canvassing is understandable given that it can take a relisting just to get one or two supports for a delete. And why isn't there a speedy category for such obviously worthless templates (and worthless redirects, come to think of it)? Miracle Pen (talk) 19:09, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - there are 2 different styles of these templates, those which require substitution, and those which don't. I personally prefer the substitution style, as this allows the wording to be easily customized. PhilKnight (talk) 11:44, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

This template was already tagged CSD as a duplicate of Template:Infobox music genre, and the CSD was declined for the reason that it isn't the same. However, I feel the edit summary of that decline wasn't a good reason in and of itself: that this sub-genre template produced a "rather different output". This "rather different output" isn't really all that different. The only change is an addition of a "notable artists" parameter (see this screenshot for code difference). This parameter could easily have been added to the original genre template. In a way, it feels the parameter was also added as a means of "validation"; in other words, a long list of notable artists would validate the existence of that sub-genre (I am not implying that it is currently being used in this manner). I would also like to point out that the template was created in November 2008, but the template is only used on three articles—I'm not sure how valid this is of an argument, but I thought I would bring it up. In addition, a sub-genre is, in a manner of speaking, a genre. This template and its documentation fail to explain or define what a sub-genre is and how it differs from a regular genre, and when this template should be used outside of a "genre", and my argument is supported by Wikipedia's own sub-genre and subgenre pages, which are redirects to Genre, where the term "sub-genre" is only mentioned twice, and in passing, and not clearly defined. Finally, this sub-genre template includes the sub-genre parameter; does this mean there should also be a sub-sub-genre template for those genres listed? The point is, this template is redundant and unnecessary. So I propose that the "notable artists" parameter be incorporated into Template:Infobox music genre, and this sub-genre template be deleted. If the genre template is used for a sub-genre, then the sub-genre parameter could be coded to point to the parent genre. –  Kerαu noςco pia <sup style="color:#A60000;">◁ gala xies 01:27, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
