 * Christopher McQuarrie

Unnecessary to have a template to house just three links. A "See also" section can easily accommodate a couple of links. Betty Logan (talk) 12:50, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep since I find three films an acceptable threshold to have a director navigation template. (I did not know about Mission Impossible 5 till now.) There have been a number of templates with that number of films, and I believe some of them have won out in TfDs. However, this template should exclude non-director credits due to their indiscriminate nature. It should be strictly focused on director credits. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 14:01, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
 * We are not exactly talking Hitchcock or John Ford here, who have been extensively written about as academic subjects. Jack Reacher and Mission Impossible are first and foremost Tom Cruise vehicles, so I don't think being directed by Christopher McQuarrie is a defining characteristic. I honestly think Category:Films directed by Christopher McQuarrie is sufficient in these cases. Betty Logan (talk) 14:48, 27 August 2014 (UTC)


 * weak keep, links four articles, which is enough for me, and the director is still active. Frietjes (talk) 14:32, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep because the only reason it only has three things in it is because you keep deleting his writing credits, Betty Logan. You can't say that there is too much information in the infobox as a justification for deleting things and then immediately claim that there is too little information in it as a justification for deleting the infobox entirely. You can't have your cake and eat it too. "See also" is not the correct place to put other films by the same director and I don't know where you got that idea. There are plenty of infoboxes with only two things in them but this is a person who has written or directed ten films and created a television series, though you would never know it from the way you keep deleting the information in the infobox in order to try to influence the course of this discussion. That is deceitful and disruptive. Your desire to relegate him to someone merely associated with Tom Cruise shows a blatant disregard for the rest of his work. --Nicholas0 (talk) 20:13, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Nicholas0 is misleading the discussion here with a personal attack, since I don't "keep" doing anything. I have edited the template precisely four times: once to remove a link to a redirect, once to revert a disruptive edit by Nicholas0 which perpetuated an edit-war against a long-standing consensus to not add "writing" and "producing" credits to film director templates (which occurred after the deletion nomination), and twice nominating it for deletion (speedy and this one). If we don't have a Tom Cruise navbox on films like Jack Reacher (film) and Mission: Impossible 5 (which are primarily Tom Cruise vehicles) then perhaps Nicholas0 could enlighten us to why we need a Christopher McQuarrie navbox??

 * , please remember to be civil. There is strong precedent for having director templates, and much less precedent for including other credits in such templates. Writing and producing credits in particular tend to be numerous and lack immediate relevance or is only tangentially related, per WP:NAVBOX. Similar logic has applied to excluding actor navigation templates; actors' involvement in a film vary by degrees, running into the same disadvantages. If this template is kept, it should be limited to the director credits only. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 21:02, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep if it only includes director credits —PC-XT+ 05:03, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Template includes three notable film credits (links) of director. -- Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 17:46, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Conjugate

Fork of overline which produces non-standard way of producing $\overline{overlines}$, and seemingly created for personal aesthetic reasons. 09:51, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to overline since they have the same function. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 22:31, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Nothing actually links to it.  23:16, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete On second thought, this isn't the best title for such a template. Conjugate makes me think of grammar before I think of math. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 04:36, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
