Template:Jazz Radio Stations in Massachusetts

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was no consensus. Merge discussions may be evaluated at talk. (non-admin closure) Winged Blades Godric  11:20, 19 July 2017 (UTC) Only one entry Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 01:22, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Jazz Radio Stations in Massachusetts
 * Keep. Stations change formats all the time & there may also be stations in this format which aren't listed because they're not known about to the editors. Also, having this provides a more comprehensive list of stations' formats in Massachusetts.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * There is no navigational purpose in a template with only one link. It links to and from nothing. If more stations arise, the template can be remade then. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 00:52, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Thumb firmly in the middle. Actually, with the format footer at the bottom, there are sixteen links in the template, but point taken. Seems to me a logical solution would be to combine the Jazz and Smooth Jazz templates, which would end up with three stations total. Mlaffs (talk) 21:16, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not opposed to that suggestion.Stereorock (talk) 01:25, 20 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Sure there's a navigational purpose: in each of the (Radio Format) in Massachusetts page that has a template, there is a link to all available templates, including Jazz stations in New Jersey. There IS a Jazz station in Massachusetts, WICN . There may be more stations playing Jazz in Massachusetts that nobody has included yet (do we count WGBH, WOMR, WUMD, et al., which play Jazz part-time?). But, the navigational purpose is thus: clicking on Jazz Stations in Ma. takes you to that template; there IS a Jazz station in Massachusetts: WICN. Navigation, using the template, has worked. Also, stations do flip formats, so who's to say there won't be another station flipping to Jazz in the future? Now, getting rid of this template would reduce clicking on Jazz from any other Ma. radio template to redirecting to the generic Jazz music article, which isn't what clicking on the template is supposed to do. If anything, it would be better to have no link than a link to an article that isn't what the link is supposed to connect to.Stereorock (talk) 01:24, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Jazz Radio Stations in New Jersey
 * Keep: Having this provides a broader overview of formats available in New Jersey. Secondly, stations change formats all the time & they may flip to Jazz. Thirdly, there may be other stations broadcasting Jazz in New Jersey that we don't know about, which will be added when we find that information out.Stereorock (talk) 12:24, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Template:Mainstream Rock Radio Stations in Rhode Island

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was delete. Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk) 00:31, 11 July 2017 (UTC) Unused and WP:NENAN Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 05:53, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Mainstream Rock Radio Stations in Rhode Island
 * Keep It's not unused, there is a station which broadcasts Mainstream Rock in Rhode Island, WHJY. Therefore, it IS used. Besides, nothing in WP:TCSD warrants its deletion.Stereorock (talk) 21:21, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Because what point is there navigation-wise if there's only one link? It doesn't take you to or from anywhere. Precedent is that we delete templates if they don't sufficiently navigate. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 23:26, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually, it DOES. When you click on each of the available formats in Rhode Island, they either go TO one of these templates of stations (which is useful) or to the musical genre itself when there are no stations (not useful). If I ask myself "is there a Mainstream Rock station in Rhode Island?", I can click on the any of the (Radio Format) in Rhode Island templates, & find Mainstream Rock down at the bottom. Another factor: stations change formats; who's to say that there may not be 2 Mainstream Rock stations in Rhode Island in the future? Rhode Island, due to its small size, only has a limited number of available frequencies (unlike, say, California, where there very well may be 30 Mainstream Rockers/A.O.R.s in the whole state), but currently, WHJY is a Mainstream Rocker/A.O.R. station & it can be gotten to by using this template. The template is valid. If there were no stations in a given format, you may have a point, but seeing how there is, and we cannot predict if other stations will or won't flip formats (something stations quite often do), it makes sense to keep this template.Stereorock (talk) 01:10, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
