 * Split portions
 * Split

They both are saying the article is being suggested to be split into multiple pages. They are redundant to each other. – BrandonXLF   (t@lk)  16:46, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete It's not transcluded on any pages of note. There is almost no reason an edit notice would be needed anymore for a 2009 league final; if one was needed, it's notice will almost assuredly be different.—Bagumba (talk) 10:06, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Template:2019 Stanley Cup playoffs

The result of the discussion was move to user space. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 04:25, 12 September 2018 (UTC) Unused template about a future sporting event. &thinsp;&mdash; Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)&thinsp; 03:29, 23 August 2018 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * 2019 Stanley Cup playoffs
 * Comment What do we normally do with these? I'd vote WP:TOOSOON for the article, but I'm not sure there's any harm in keeping or userfiying a template which will ultimately be used. SportingFlyer  talk  04:53, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 09:55, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Stanley Cup playoffs page until March 2019, because then the regular season is nearing its completion (last games will be played on April 6, 2019) and teams start to qualify for the playoffs. I am one of the main editors of the NHL pages and templates, and we get this WP:TOOSOON case every year. – Sabbatino (talk) 10:12, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Agree with SportingFlyer above - in article space, WP:TOOSOON is an issue, but in template space, it's not really a problem to have a not-yet-used template and seems like process for the sake of process. --B (talk) 14:54, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Since this was a template created by me, I'm open to understanding why we're asking for deletion, knowing this will eventually be used. Also, how would a redirect like this work? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Piranha249 (talk • contribs)
 * Delete Unused template that was created way too soon. The reason for deleting is to discourage early creation of such templates just to claim first edit on a template/article in a misguided attempt to claim hey look what I created. The hockey topic area has had real issues with users doing this on purpose up to many years in advance. They did eventually end up blocked/banned for doing it though, but it does have us a little more likely to delete immediately to dissuade people from doing it again. -DJSasso (talk) 16:28, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
 * On that suggestion you made, I never knew WikiProject Ice Hockey had problems like this. I would never do something that hinted towards what you said. –Piranha249 23:42, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah I should be clear, I don't believe you were doing that. Just that it had been done in the past. -DJSasso (talk) 12:42, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Template:DC Universe programming

 * 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 keep. (non-admin closure) Galobtter (pingó mió) 04:59, 11 September 2018 (UTC) Nowhere near enough links for a separate navbox. --  Alex TW 02:38, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * DC Universe programming


 * . Now that I look at it, you are probably right. For future reference though, how many links would you say justifies a network navbox? I know one couldn't possibly come up with a hard number but what would be like a rough number? I'm curious for your opinion on that. Thanks, BoogerD (talk) 03:41, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:NENAN recommends the "rule of five". --  Alex TW 03:44, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok. So then when say three or four of the drafts for the service's upcoming programs move into mainspace, would it be ok to re-create the template? – BoogerD (talk) 04:00, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * FWIW, since the nomination was started, a third article has been added to the template. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 00:41, 23 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete for now. However, I do think this template should be recreated and expanded when enough content is added to DC Universe, as that would make sense. JOE BRO  64  14:01, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Disagree - list is missing Doom Patrol (2019), Harley Quinn (2019), Stargirl (2019), and Swamp Thing (2019). (Metropolis got pulled for redevelopment)Dlairman (talk) 16:37, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * It's not missing those, because articles do not exist for them yet (bar Doom Patrol). You can't link what doesn't exist. (Btw, I note the added articles, and can see the reason for keeping it.) --  Alex TW 08:56, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

 * How soon are the drafts expected to be moved to mainspace? Argento Surfer (talk) 20:32, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * General rule of thumb is once filming for the series has begun, or conversely if it gets right up to the filming point with casting etc. and gets cancelled or shelved, then it could potentially be reworked in the mainspace as potential series. But for our cases here, once we know filming has begun. Doom Patrol is supposed to start at some point in the rest of the year, but nothing concrete. And then Swamp Thing will probably start next. And actually, given that Harley Quinn is animated, I would assume that production aspects for it have begun, but I haven't seen any sources stating such. That might actually be a candidate to move to the mainspace now given that assumption from me. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 00:01, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
 * So there's one, maybe two coming to mainspace in the next four months? I say IAR and Keep this to avoid wasting time recreating it so quickly. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:31, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Primefac (talk) 01:57, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * FYI again, Doom Patrol (TV series) has moved out of the draft space, and thus is in the template. I have yet to watch the DC Daily livestream, but if Harley Quinn footage was shown, then that can also be moved to the mainspace. I'd also lean to keep this now. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:44, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep since the "rule of five" threshold per WP:NENAN has been meet. - Brojam (talk) 18:53, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep As per WP:NENAN, the "rule of five" threshold has been met. – <span style=" background: #fff; font-weight: 700; padding: 1px 4px; margin: 0px 3px 0px 0px; border: 2px solid #000; box-shadow: 3px 3px #000;">Vistadan 23:25, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Totally legit for navigation and very likely to include more things soon anyway. I can easily imagine this being useful now. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:51, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
