 * Nonnotable content

This seems like a duplicate of NOT, formerly Unencyclopedic, which said "This article may contain content not appropriate for an encyclopedia". It was deleted for being overly vague and prone to drive-by tagging.

For a template that's been around for well over a year, it had only five transclusions:


 * Sandstorm (song) — This is a list of dubiously relevant examples, so I've swapped it out for Examplefarm.
 * Chronicles of Ancient Darkness — The section had reasonably sourced information on the series' future.
 * Isaac Bear Early College High School — Already had advertisement on it, which was more fitting for the promotional stuff regarding the school's classes. I just removed the info.
 * ‪Marko Nešić (born 1976)‬ — A list of awards which seemed overly promotional, so I just removed it.
 * James Rolfe (filmmaker) — Drive-by tag, no eplanation given as to what content was "non-notable".

The template's main problem is an utter lack of specificity. Every problem I found has another template already set out for it, and "nonnotable content" is about as vague as "content not appropriate for an encyclopedia". Five transclusions is a very low number, especially when all five were better suited to other templates or easily fixable without a template in the first place. If one section of an article is of dubious relevance to the rest of the article, then templates like coatrack example farm, or relevance should be all it needs, not a vague underused template such as this.

 * Delete or atleast rename, this name makes it look like it should be another notability -- 76.65.129.3 (talk) 01:20, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep—the template has been up for a year or so but it actually went "public" very recently—before that I did not publish information about it anywhere except on WP:TC's talk page to get feedback. Surprisingly no feedback came, and there was no opposition whatsoever. It is therefore very strange to me that so many people now want to the template deleted. I realize that not everyone watches WP:TC, but I would expect people who really care about cleanup templates to do so.
 * Now for the actual reasons why this template should be kept: I have already given them here and there are some other good rationales there. —Ynhockey (Talk) 08:31, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Tell me how it doesn't have the same problems as Unencyclopedic when it's almost exactly the same damn thing. As I pointed out, the only five uses were either better suited for another template, or drive-by tagged without explanation.

 * delete, too generic, similar to unencyclopedic. Frietjes (talk) 14:55, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per myself. Notability is a property of a subject, not content. Keφr 09:03, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
