Soloists

Answering the question

This is the English Wikipedia not Japanese . It doesn't matter how they have their infobox set up. And if we do not list the soloist in the infobox how will anyone know?

Avoid repeating links to the same article within a template

"Avoid repeating links to the same article within a template." It is a citation from Wikipedia guidelines: [1]. (By the way, I didn't want to hide the list of solo artists in this edit. I just made two groups number 3 by accident.) But if there's no consensus for leaving the list of soloists in I will delete it in a week. --

And how is not adding a soloists section not helpful in navigation? If I wasn't a fan a didn't want to look through the page for whatever people may have a just wanted to look at the navigation box it is helpful for those type of people because they get the general run down. Maeda and Sashihara are no longer apart of AKB48, so why would I list them as soloists? Maeda graduated and Sashihara is in HKT48, a sister group not the main group. It is true that Kashiwagi and Takahashi haven't released any solo material yet but they are making their debut so they are soloists, who just haven't debuted yet. しれない Shirenai♥talk 16:43, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
They released solo singles when they were in AKB48. You altered the template solely basing on your point of view. The problem with this section is that without a simple and comprehensible criteria the section is misleading. And the links are already present in the navigation box. You should better rewrite the units section in the

They are no longer in AKB so they cannot be considered soloists from the group, which is what the section is for. しれない Shirenai♥talk 18:35, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please don't delete my replies from your talk page. I've already explained there that I don't "own" AKB48-related articles and I don't intent to. --

It is not recommended and certainly is not polite. I put some time into explaining to you about me not owning the article, but you deleted my explanation and kept repeating the same accusations. --

It was read and noted. Also your first explanation is still on your talk. If you want to discuss this more let's continue this on your talk where I initially wrote you about the owning. This article is hardly the place to have this discussion. しれない Shirenai♥talk 18:35, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have another problem with the section. The template lists SDN48 that has been disbanded, therefore for consistency we should either list Atsuko Maeda and Rino Sashihara in the Soloists section or delete SDN48 from the template. I still vote for simply deleting the section. Also, the title "Soloists" could be misleading.

Soloist and related articles are two different sections. SDN48 can stay because even though they disbanded, it is still a related article due to the former members, same producer, participation in concerts and sharing the same theater. Rino and Atsuko are a different story as both no longer are apart of the group, which is what the soloist section is suppose to point out. Current soloists from the group, not past. How is the title misleading? It makes perfect sense. しれない Shirenai♥talk 02:20, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It says "Related groups", and the "Soloists" section doesn't say it lists only the current and future solo artists, or, rather, "members who released or will release solo CD singles". Also, the word "soloist" has several different meanings, and I think it's confusing. I think the section completely destroys all my idea for this template. (I'm saying "my idea", cause I didn't watch over the template close enough and one day found it like this: [2], with 20 or so links to

I don't have to prove anything, this is a template not a article where I am adding in brand new information. You have to accept that other people edit Wikipedia to and learn how to work with them rather than try to remove things that doesn't fit your point of view. しれない Shirenai♥talk 12:52, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not making a personal attack. You are always saying it doesn't match the way you want things or you don't think it is a good thing and because of that nothing can get resolved. しれない Shirenai♥talk 03:08, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
