 * Gen X radio

Only three stations left in the Gen X Radio format, is the template still necessary? Schala ★  20:00, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence provided on this template or any of the articles that Gen X radio is even notable in the first place, not to mention that Gen X Radio doesn't even appear to have an article. Ego White Tray (talk) 12:29, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Fancy branding for "90's" stations that is quickly fading away due to market failure (also, two of the stations mentioned don't even carry this format, leaving one left in the template, making for a duplicative template). Don't even understand why 'radio station branding stations' or 'genres in states' templates exist when we have a perfectly functioning category system.

 * Virgin Records

I'm not sure what the point of this is. Is it going to list every executive, every act, every album, every song from Virgin Records with an article? I'm sure it's not limited to Pretty Poison, at least according to Category:Virgin Records artists. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 16:46, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - In the interest of WP:ANOEP, I plan to put the albums, songs and possibly members of musical ensembles that do not have their own navbox. Artists that have additional articles get a group, and artists that do not can all be lumped into the last group.  I plan to add to it as time goes on.  I welcome any other ideas, including "succession templates".--Jax 0677 (talk) 17:08, 19 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete adding every single Virgin Records artist would make the template far too large and unwieldy, even if it were split into templates like Template:Simon Property Group. Some Virgin artists only recorded one album, or didn't stay with the label long enough to put any albums out (e.g. River Road (band) — should they be on there too? It seems that the intended purpose would be redundant to Category:Virgin Records artists and Category:Virgin Records albums.

 * Jax 0677 is going the right way if he wants someone to propose a formal ban on his creating templates. ANOEP is a fringe opinion at best. This plainly has serious scope issues which make it unrepresentative in its current state and totally unwieldy in some theoretical completed state. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 08:25, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Refactor as a template with links about the corporation, and do not include any musical groups/albums/songs whatsoever. If that doesn't happen, delete. Ego White Tray (talk) 12:28, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * There aren't enough relevant articles on Virgin Records-related stuff, are there? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:07, 20 September 2012 (UTC)


 * delete, better served by a category. simply being on the same label isn't close enough of an association.  no objection if someone wants to recreate this as something other than a way to link the artists (e.g., linking staff, sublabels, etc.), but it does not look like that is possible here. Frietjes (talk) 17:41, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - The prime direction is that each artist that has between 1-4 associated links (songs, artists or album) can have a group line item (i.e. like Template:Fractured Transmitter Recording Company). A template allows for quicker navigation between articles than does a list or category.  Artists that have zero associated links can be lumped into the last group.  Artists with more than 4 associated links can have their own navbox.  I doubt that something like this would generate thousands of articles within the navbox, as there are likely not too many artists and ensembles with 1-4 links.  In short, too small, the artist goes into the last category.  Too big, it gets split off.  The template can be changed over into one with executive officers and subsidiaries, such as Template:Warner Music Group.  The scope of the templates can be readjusted as the organization grows, just like some artists and ensembles have templates for their songs and albums.--Jax 0677 (talk) 17:12, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

 * HellenicPresidents

Delete: redundant to Template:Heads of state of Greece, and misleading in that it jumbles all the presidents of republican periods together, regardless of chronology. The "Hellenic Republic" is not a continuous entity, there have been three distinct republican periods... Constantine  ✍  16:06, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
