Template:Exumer

 * 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. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 06:14, 11 September 2019 (UTC) This template simply links to too few articles. Four albums to be exact. None of the band members have articles. Geschichte (talk) 17:18, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Exumer
 * Delete There are only five articles linked: the band's article, three albums and one album that redirects to the band. The three album articles should be redirected to the band for being non-notable, so there are not enough articles to justify having a navigational template. Aspects (talk) 05:45, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
 * delete, the succession links in the infobox are sufficient. Frietjes (talk) 14:52, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Template:Ship burial customs in Germanic paganism

 * 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. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 00:03, 15 September 2019 (UTC) Propose merging Template:Ship burial customs in Germanic paganism with Template:Death in Germanic mythology.
 * Ship burial customs in Germanic paganism
 * Death in Germanic mythology

Interrelated topic, could possibly be collected in one and the same template? PPEMES (talk) 17:06, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose While the names make it sound like it would be appropriate, Ship burial customs in Germanic paganism is basically just a list of ship burial sites. The death in Germanic mythology doesn't (and shouldn't) include other burial sites and adding ship burials would be inappropriate. I would suggest renaming Ship burial customs in Germanic paganism to Ship burial customs in Germanic paganism. --Trialpears (talk) 15:15, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I meant rename to Ship burial in Germanic paganism as a rename to the current name doesn't make sense. --Trialpears (talk) 19:30, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Oppose—This is a specialized template for an important topic in the field with significant room for growth. I don't see how adding the subtemplate to the supertemplate benefits readers. &#58;bloodofox: (talk) 17:24, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Template:Germanic mythology

 * 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. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 00:03, 15 September 2019 (UTC) Propose merging Template:Germanic mythology with Template:Germanic paganism.
 * Germanic mythology
 * Germanic paganism

Separate template (created 26 June 2019) could as well merge with Template:Germanic paganism to keep "paganism" and "mythology" collected, as seen in Template:Anglo-Saxon paganism and Template:Norse paganism topics? PPEMES (talk) 17:14, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Mythology (stories and motifs) is a separate topic from paganism (religious practices). Germanic mythology has for exemple been used in Christian contexts, such as the Sigurd portals in medieval churches. Ffranc (talk) 17:51, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
 * The idea is to regard the religion more as a whole, as seen in the attached examples. PPEMES (talk) 11:10, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Support per PPEMES's reasoning. While I take Ffranc's point, Christianity has borrowed all sorts of things from all over Europe and the Near East, even various gods and goddesses (various "saints", mostly decanonized in recent years).  —&thinsp;AReaderOutThataway&thinsp;t/c 16:28, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Germanic paganism and Germanic mythology are two separate topics. Merging them together stands to simply confuse readers. &#58;bloodofox: (talk) 17:24, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
