 * keep both links were have been redirected by mistake. it's fixed now. Sports2021 (talk) 23:06, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
 * They were not redirect by mistake. Those articles did not have a stand alone reason to be separate from the main article. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:13, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
 * and who says that? there are hundreds of articles like them this, this, just 2 examples but I can show 100 more. They were redirected most probably someone wanted this article to be moved to this one to keep the edit history but probably messed it up. this is interesting I even have to explain this. Sports2021 (talk) 00:18, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
 * All you did was restore what it was like before it was redirecting. There are no inline sources and a majority of the same information exists in the main articles about Field hockey at the 2010 Asian Games. Outside of the game results that is. I'd say there needs to be a discussion before those articles to be unredirected. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:29, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. ✗ plicit  02:16, 23 April 2022 (UTC) Not a template for listing the countries and their leaders for an international organization. Rather this just links to the article for China, South Korea, Japan, their PM/Presidents, and the foreign ministers. The main article China–Japan–South Korea trilateral summit is just an annual get together between these countries to advance trade and other forms of political cooperation. Nothing connects the articles together other than just a general grouping. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 21:13, 9 April 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Use doc and restore the previous version where the documentation was not in the template. Gonnym (talk) 12:05, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Revert the documentation merge to base. Why was this nominated, when this reversion could be easily justified by following common practice when the doc subpage exists?

 * Keep. It contravenes policy to delete the page because its contents was moved, and thus the history needs to be preserved for attribution. But I agree that the documentation should be moved back to the subpage. --Bsherr (talk) 20:47, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk) 14:18, 23 April 2022 (UTC) Strong and em tags have distinct purposes. It's not that they can't overlap, but when they overlap fully, it's usually an indication that only one should be used. It's probably not a good idea to merge these tags in a single template, as it encourages mistaken thinking that this is some kind of "super bold". The template itself also has a design problem. The name and documentation suggest it applies both strong and em tags, but it only applies the strong tag, and just adds italics. It's only used in the talk namespace right now, so I think the best solution is just to orphan it. Bsherr (talk) 03:38, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Strong-em


 * Support per nomination. Also noting that ' can be used for this purpose which is even simpler. --Trialpears (talk) 18:18, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Semantically, that isn't the same. Gonnym (talk) 20:13, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * And it's a great learning opportunity. We differentiate between italics/bold and em/strong. The former are for appearance only (I'm making something bold because it's a definition, or a heading), and the latter are for semantic purposes (I'm italicizing a word to show literal emphasis). So the replacement for this template would be  --Bsherr (talk) 20:42, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete is ok with me. I forgot I made this template many years ago.  I was on big template-making kick at the time (Bach cantatas, Haydn symphonies, Etc).  If for Britten, people prefer the large template (hopefully collapsible) with all the compositions, I am OK with it. DavidRF (talk) 13:37, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Indeed. I think the trend seems to favor single templates, except when there are just too many pieces for a single composer (Mozart, Haydn, Bach, Schubert etc.), where your templates come in handy. Aza24 (talk) 20:30, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
