Propose merging Template:Stock market crashes with Template:Financial crises.
While perhaps making actual stock market crash entries within the Financial crises template bold, for instance. Or some other legend, as explained in the below bar of the the template (example: "Entries in bold = stock market crashes"). PPEMES (talk) 15:16, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support I had already moved all of the entries in the stock market crashes template into the Financial crises template, and the latter template is the one that should be retained (since it is the broader template). I do not believe bolded lettering within the template specifically for stock market crashes would be appropriate since they are not the only type of financial crisis. -- CommonKnowledgeCreator (talk) 15:19, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Good. But perhaps they should have some kind of indicator such as "EventEntry^" or something, where "^ = stock market crashes" is indicated as legend below? PPEMES (talk) 15:21, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@PPEMES: I'm not sure I follow. Could you show me a different navbox template as an example? -- CommonKnowledgeCreator (talk) 18:09, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
See for instance here: Template:Latin Church footer. Please note the "* = also Great Doctors". PPEMES (talk) 20:22, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@PPEMES: Reviewed the example; I'm not persuaded that the additional lettering is necessary, but still agree that the templates should be merged. -- CommonKnowledgeCreator (talk) 23:02, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Depending on how significantly different "financial crises" and "stock market crashes" are, I would likely keep them as separate navboxes. However, I suppose all stock market crashes are types of financial crises, though I still wonder if there is a substantial group of people would be interested on specifically only stock market crashes and not simply financial crises in general. It seems that financial crises applies to all drops in financial value, including of stock markets. However, some people might want to see the specific form of financial crisis in the stock market side of economy. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 01:48, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There are lots of templates around with smaller topics embedded in larger topics like that. With a legend at the bottom row of the template, it shouldn't be an issue. PPEMES (talk) 13:30, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Qwertyxp2000: "Financial crisis" is the broader category. What I think you mean by "financial crisis" is "banking panic", which is just a different category than a stock market crash. They can overlap and often do, but not necessarily. -- CommonKnowledgeCreator (talk) 01:21, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose one template relates to financial crisis. One relates to the stock market. These are related but I am not convinced merging these templates share enough in common to deserve a merge. Some stock market crashes are not financial crisis and visa-versa. IMO there is not much point to having an even larger template. --Tom (LT) (talk) 23:36, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:Middle-earth. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 13:17, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Ainur with Template:Middle-earth.
Continuing on from the TfDs of Middle-earth Dwarves, Elves, and Races. 7 out of the 12 links are already in the template. For the same reasons given in the previous discussions, this will lead to better and easier navigation between related articles and less clutter of navigation templates. Gonnym (talk) 20:43, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose, reinstate earlier version including redirects to sections, [1] which was useful for navigation and overview. The edit summary said "removing redirects" but articles about possible Maiar were also removed without disclosure. By all means italicise the redirects in the template. – Fayenatic London 10:26, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Navigation templates aren't used for redirects, especially when all of them redirect to the same article. You really think 15 links to Vala (Middle-earth) is useful? Can you explain how exactly navigation would be helpful? Also, seeing as how you are referring to @Izno's edit and not mine, I completely agree with his and oppose any restoration. --Gonnym (talk) 10:49, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP:NAV more or less makes it clear that navboxes are for navigation between articles, not redirects and not non-articles. Navigating between redirects almost always inspires duplicating a table of contents somewhere and navigating between non-articles (as in, unlinked articles) is a flat contradiction. WP:NAVBOX, the actual guideline on the matter, has WP:BIDIRECTIONAL among others, so that usually knocks the same out. --Izno (talk) 13:32, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to an appropriate larger navbox. I think Template:Middle-earth may need to be split (probably along fictional/non-fictional lines) at some point unless deletions of fictional topics continue, but that's not a blocker for this discussion. --Izno (talk) 13:32, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, this very small template (even with doubtful items included) will easily fit in the larger template, and in fact will assist navigation by being included. Further, we can avoid giving "doubtful" labels in the larger context. Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:24, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • (belated reply to Gonnym) I accept that the links for named Valar added little; nevertheless the list of Valar was useful since it was a complete list, and easier to view than the full table. (I was not aware of the guidance at WP:EXISTING; it seems regrettable to me that unlinked text should be restricted to musical ensembles, and Ainulindale hardly counts. ) The list of Maiar was useful because it included links to sections.
  • I have reinstated Radagast, removed in error as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Radagast was closed as "Keep"; the link for Wizards, which is a section within a different article; and the two comparable powerful spirits whose origin & nature are left uncertain in the legendarium, and were therefore included in the navbox as "Possible Ainur". – Fayenatic London 21:41, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
We should not have "possibles" or "doubtfuls" in any template. There is no good evidence that those two were meant by Tolkien to be Ainur, and they don't even begin to fit in with the rest of the Valar and Maiar. It's simply not where templates should be going. But even with them the template is small and basically pointless: navigation will be easier with less jumping between templates. Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:45, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Maiar are a very mixed bunch, and the article Tom Bombadil includes citations for opinions that he and Goldberry could be among them. – Fayenatic London
  • OK, changing my !vote to support. It's clear that the older form (which I found useful) may not be reinstated under current guidance, and I agree that merging will be better than the current form. – Fayenatic London 22:04, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrectly formatted merge proposed by another user: correcting nom. with no opinion UnitedStatesian (talk) 02:18, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. People seem to be keeping the global table template more up-to-date than the Europe one, and have done a reasonable split of Europe into geographical sub-regions. However, including the Europe part in the Europe prose article would still be nice, even though it's horizontally quite large now. In fact, a reasonable case could be made for splitting the Europe template, because keeping it up-to-date is becoming heavy work as we seem to be entering an exponential growth phase in Europe (with the main exception being Poland, which is miraculously SARS-CoV-2-free, apart from suspected cases). An ideal solution would be if the "global" table included continental or sub-continental table components, in a way that continental or sub-continental tables could be used as templates without having to show the full global one. I suspect that this could be risky unless the method of doing this forces editors at any of the "sub" levels from making edits that mess up the structure of the combined super- or super-super-table. Boud (talk) 17:55, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment on comment I suspect such a template would indeed be easy to mess up and hard to maintain, and I don't even know how to start creating that without making the existing international template a lot more complicated... Renerpho (talk) 06:39, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Having a table for Europe that can be used in the article about cases in Europe is useful. Please help keep it up to date! Renerpho (talk) 06:36, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see a case for splitting out the international template by continent because of the sheer amount of data included and the lack of readability. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 00:41, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Please revert to the Rate Comparisons with Syncing the start date from the first 500 or 100 cases. This metric offers much more insight for comparing the ongoing outbreak between the different regions than Syncing the start date till the first 100 or 500 cases which offers a truncated view not necessaily indicative of the further development of the initial outbreak. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.244.214.142 (talk) 11:44, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retire I think that changing the name - at least internally without a formal name change - to something like "in January and February 2020" and effectively freezing it as a resource to remain available for later studies for people (e.g. epidemiologists) who might find it useful.

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:Infobox noble. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 18:29, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Infobox peer with Template:Infobox noble.
You wouldn't awefully mind a combined infobox for the total scope, would you? PPEMES (talk) 14:47, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikimandia: I haven't seen any article containing with "peer" in its name that doesn't speak of it in terms of a noble or aristocratic context. If you insist, however, the name for the merged template could be something like "infobox aristocrate". PPEMES (talk) 10:54, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Everyone in the House of Lords is a peer, but only 92 of them are nobles. They are all peers of the realm, but the mass majority are not aristocrats. Raj Bagri, Baron Bagri is a peer. He is not, however, an aristocrat. His article uses infobox_peerage. A noble and a peer are not the same thing, which is why I opposed this merge. Likewise, there are members of the nobility who are not peers. Please do not suggest merges if you don't understand the basic principles of the infoboxes at hand. МандичкаYO 😜 11:09, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Peerages in the United Kingdom says "composed of various noble ranks". Life peer says "always created at the rank of baron". Baron says "a rank of nobility". In Raj Bagri, Baron Bagri, how is "under the title Baron Bagri" outside the scope of aristocracy to you? PPEMES (talk) 11:28, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I honestly don't think that a technical distinction existing between peer and noble would be enough to merit two separate templates. The question should be whether the templates are functionally distinct, not whether the concepts are. If any of the information the peer template provides would be equally relevant for a noble, and vice versa, the templates should be merged. Someone the Person (talk) 04:46, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for deleting: Template_talk:Nature_reserves_of_Estonia#Deleting. Estopedist1 (talk) 13:41, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reluctant. Is that really enough arguments for deleting it? PPEMES (talk) 15:11, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Comment this is a navigational template, and is intended to assist editors in navigating from one article to another, related one. It is not the job of nav templates to present an exhaustive list; that is the purpose of List of protected areas of Estonia. The contents of this template are overwhelmingly redlinks (and have been so since 2007), and it completely fails its purpose of navigation. Readers wishing to browse related articles would be much better served by a "See also" link to the list article (as is already the case for many of them). --RexxS (talk) 19:59, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I've now removed the 121 red links, leaving 46 articles in the navbox. That is much more manageable and closer to the purpose of navigational templates. That should give everyone a better idea of what the template should look like for the purposes of this discussion (before somebody reverts it). --RexxS (talk) 13:48, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Nav templates have different use than lists. The question is, should it be devided to 15 Estonian counties or rather list alphabetically all reserves. How many links there are? I'm sure there's not too much. Red links or not updated sure isn't a reason to delete. Pelmeen10 (talk) 22:56, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    if kept, then arise the question why we haven't "template:Estonian lakes" (we have list of lakes of Estonia), or "template:Estonian rivers" (we have list of rivers of Estonia) etc--Estopedist1 (talk) 07:36, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    @PPEMES, RexxS, and Pelmeen10: forgot pinging--Estopedist1 (talk) 07:49, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Please observe MOS:INDENTMIX - it is required for accessibility.
    The reason we don't have the templates corresponding to the list articles is probably that the list articles are doing the job of the proposed navigational templates already, by being in See also sections. Either that or nobody has got around to creating them yet.
    In answer to the question "should it be devided to 15 Estonian counties or rather list alphabetically all reserves" is given by WP:NAVBOX:

    The article links in a navigation template should be grouped into clusters, by topic, or by era, etc. Alphabetical ordering does not provide any additional value to a category containing the same article links.

    I agree that not being updated is not a reason to delete, but the purpose of redlinks is to suggest possible articles, not for navigation. A navbox full of redlinks that nobody is every going to turn into articles would be deleted as serving no purpose. --RexxS (talk) 13:48, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    @RexxS: good links to guidelines. I see we already have {{Islands of Estonia}} and List of islands of Estonia. Structures are different. The template should have 2355 islands, but there is some kind of selection--Estopedist1 (talk) 12:48, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Infobox pretender with Template:Infobox royalty.

Propose merging Template:Infobox clergy with Template:Infobox Christian leader.
Too overlapping not to merge? PPEMES (talk) 15:56, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I would support that for the final merged template. PPEMES (talk) 10:09, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I support "Christian officeholder" over "Christian leader" as well, it would include more possible positions of various denominations I think. Nablais (talk) 03:02, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My preference would be to keep the name "Christian leader" – it does a better job of encompassing all denominations, even those that don't technically or officially have "offices". --Andreas Philopater (talk) 21:22, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral - this merge has been raised in the past on some occasions. The underlying issue is that some parameters in one infobox are not explicitly applicable to the other no matter how complimentary they may seem. Furthermore, the Christian leader and clergy infoboxes are completely different set-ups; the Christian leader infobox is set apart mainly for popes or episcopal figures while the clergy infobox has been used mainly for priests and religious from the various faiths. However, that being said, I would certainly accept the merge on the basis that the clergy infobox becomes part of the Christian leader infobox (as Ergo Sum suggested) since the latter seems to be the main infobox to use for important religious figures and the layout is easy to navigate. Lord Sidious 82 (talk) 16:15, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A majority of clergy in Christianity adhere to episcopal structures. In fact, the word "clergy" could be considered even more associated with such structures than mere "Christian leader". For those that don't, the said variables may be freely omittied. PPEMES (talk) 16:55, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
But a majority of clergy are not actually bishops, is the point. "Christian leader" came about from a merge 10 years or so ago of templates for bishops, archbishops, patriarchs and popes. That is to say, clergy with extensive jurisdiction over other clergy. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 23:00, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: As long as the distinctive fields are kept for different flavours and ranks (see the range of options, such as "Ambassador", "Governor" and "Judge", in the Officeholder template) why not nest both, and such others as "Latter Day Saint biography", "rebbe" and "saint", to "Religious biography"? --Andreas Philopater (talk) 22:59, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support as long as the merge is sensitive to the differences inherent in an infobox for somebody who leads a congregation ("clergy") and somebody who oversees large numbers of clergy ("Christian leader"). In actual fact, a lot of editors already seem to use "Christian leader" as though it were the infobox template for clergy in general (and lay preachers and a variety of other Christian ministers, catechists, etc.). I have, however, put notices on the talk pages of WikiProjects that most use these templates, to see if the editors most familiar with them can offer useful input. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 00:48, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support merge: But does present christian leader template need to be improved to accommodate all types of christian leaders? for example: abbots; superiors, generals or provincials of religious orders; patriarchs, archimandrites and other clergy leadership positions of eastern churches; and even prophets and other positions of the LDS church. There are probably others.Emendment (talk) 21:13, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - while similar they have different "target audiences": clergy for local leaders or those notable for other things, whereas Christian leader is explicitly for senior leaders from churches in the apostolic succession (and therefore has detailed parameters cascading from church to diocese and for ordination). Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 23:31, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Gaia Octavia Agrippa But surely all those parameters could be kept in a merged infobox for bishops alongside deacons and priests, which could include new parameters for cantors, canons, deans, provosts, catechists, etc.? (Look at what "infobox officeholder" does for judges and diplomats, for example.) In actual fact the "Christian leader" infobox, while originally set up for senior clergy, is used much more widely than was originally intended (I suspect because of the vagueness of the name), even for people for whom "Infobox clergy" was designed. It makes no sense to me to have one infobox for clergy of all religions and another just for bishops in apostolic churches (especially if the latter is being used for other figures as well anyway). --Andreas Philopater (talk) 12:22, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Christian leaders" is a template designed for bishops, archbishops, patriarchs and popes, so the leaders for which it is intended most definitely are clergy. The clergy infobox has fields specific to Christian concepts but not to others. If it is to be used for non-Christian clergy, it is barely fit for purpose. I cannot see how a single infobox for all Christian clergy (deacons, priests and bishops) would be irrational. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 12:22, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have yet to to see any single biographical article on individual clergy which uses "infobox clergy" as opposed to "infobox Christian leader" - the latter which covers anything related to clergy, and more. I am therefore stunned by the above discussion. PPEMES (talk) 11:51, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Infobox pageant titleholder with Template:Infobox model.
Wouldn't this better be merged? PPEMES (talk) 16:37, 19 March 2020 (UTC)p[reply]

For a model, height, hair color, and eye color are required for the “modeling information” section of the infobox. Why does no one get this? ⌚️ (talk) 19:02, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
These parameters are usually not sourced and, more importantly, not notable. If they are notable, you should be able to add them to the body with a good source. That rarely if ever happens, even though it is a requirement that all information in the infobox should be repeated and sourced in the body. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 17:17, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
They usually are sourced... by what agency the person is represented by; especially when these are prone to edit warring. It doesn’t matter if the feature is notable for them (unlike actors or other entertainers where it’s not notable there at all unless it’s their most recognizable trait like Danny DeVito), it’s part of their job to have it listed what their measurements and features are. ⌚️ (talk) 19:05, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
By that logic, we should add |weight=. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 21:57, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, we shouldn't. Go to any agency website: they will list their models' hair color, eye color, height, and measurements, as these are all relevant details for a model's career. For example.[1] { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 23:39, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong oppose. Whether the data fields are similar should not be the only criteria. Simplifying maintenance is what wrappers are for and this template is a wrapper for Infobox person. This is a template for a competition winner, not for an occupation such as model. This is also an area of women's popular culture, and like much women's interests poorly covered in Wikipedia. Entering one's daughters in beauty pagaents is a focus in many rural and southern communities in the United States, from Diaper Princess, to dressing grade school children up like movie stars, to the multiple pageants for teenage girls.[1] These Bible Belt mothers conceive very traditional roles for their daughters - becoming good wives and mothers. Having them become models, much less Playboy centerfolds, is not part of the plan so the model template is not an appropriate target. There are 85 templates in Category:Sportsperson infobox templates with no danger of merging any of them to non-competition occupations. In fairness to female areas of interest lets leave this one alone. StarryGrandma (talk) 04:21, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I think it definitely should not be merged with the "Infobox: Legislature". The Politburo was an executive body, not a legislative one.
There's also problems with merging it with "Government cabinet", because the cabinet in parliamentary systems is part of the executive branch of government, responsible to the legislature. The Politburo was an organ of the Communist Party, responsible to the Central Committee of the Party. Given the structure of Communist one-party states, where the Party had a constitutional role, it doesn't really track with Cabinets in parliamentary systems, because the Politburo was the real decision-making body, but technically not part of the executive of the government itself, only of the Party.
Given the clear differences between a Cabinet in a parliamentary system, and the Politburo in a Communist system, shouldn't the two be kept distinct? What reason is there to merge, other than the Politburo one isn't used very much? But that's more a function of the smaller number of countries where there was a politburo, not an indication that it isn't needed.
In sum, the question shouldn't be "Any reason not to?" The question is: "Is there a reason for the merge?" I don't think there is.Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 13:42, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Technically, the equivalent to a Cabinet in the Soviet system appears to have been the Council of People's Commissars (from 1917 to 1946), and then the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union (1946 to 1991). It was appointed by the Supreme Soviet, the legislative body, and had ministerial functions. Not a Cabinet by western models, but that's closer to being a Cabinet (ie an organ of the state) than the Politburo, which was a party organ. Of course, since the party ran the state, the Politburo was more powerful than the Council of Ministers. Really, since the Soviet model was so different from western models, I think it would be a mistake to try to cram Soviet government institutions into templates designed for western forms of government. The two models of government were very distinct, and that should be recognized in our Infobox templates. We shouldn't be assuming that templates designed for western forms of government apply to all governments. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 14:03, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thinking about this point a bit more, and I think WP:GLOBAL sums up my concern. We can't assume that all government bodies world-wide will fit into templates designed for western-style governments. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 23:25, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nor should it be merged with "Legislative term", since it was an executive body, not a legislative body. The Supreme Soviet was the legislative body, meeting only a few times a year and for short periods. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 14:06, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Tltts with Template:Tlxs.
Template:Tltts duplicates functionality of Template:Tlxs, which is more widely used. —⁠andrybak (talk) 19:41, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep separate. As a note, I relisted mainly to get it off the "old TFDs" list and maybe breath some new life into this, but I disagree with the idea of merging these two. {{tl-nav}} tells the difference between the two templates, but doesn't actually do a good job of showing the differences.
While it duplicates the functionality, it does not duplicate the appearance, which in my opinion is just as significant. If anything, I think {{tltss}}, shown in the third bullet point, should be merged into {{tltts}} because they're both monospaced without the <code> coding (and I don't really like the way tltss looks).
