  • Support deletion. I've checked both usages and similar to the pulps template, they too needlessy merge two subjects together causing the infobox to be both about a "fictional artifact" and half about a publication series which is irrelevant. Infobox fictional artifact has all the information that the comic object needs (side note: if {{Infobox comics character}} does not have any publication information, this even less needs it). --Gonnym (talk) 14:42, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging

Template:Infobox Hollywood cartoon with Template:Infobox film
.
Hollywood cartoons (and, indeed, cartoons made elsewhere in the world) are a type of film. Merging would introduce some new, relevant parameters to the film infobox, for example |series= and |animator=.

Merging templates such as these reduces the maintenance overhead, and the cognitive load on editors, and provides better continuity of layout and design to our readers, as explained at Wikipedia:Infobox consolidation. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:33, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge. Only a few differences between the templates. Not enough to warrant two separate infoboxes. Anarchyte (talk | work) 12:23, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge - Per nom. Also, Fantasia (1940 film) or any animation film from that era, could also benifet from the "cartoon"-specific parameters (such as |layout_artist=, |background_artist=, , |color_process = and |animator=). --Gonnym (talk) 12:47, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Some of the parameters at {{
    Infobox Hollywood cartoon}} have been dropped from {{Infobox film}}, such as the followed/preceded by parameters which were removed following a discussion at Template_talk:Infobox_film/Archive_19#Straw_poll. These parameters should not be re-introduced by the backdoor via a merge, unless the issue is revisited at the template itself. That said I would probably support the merge if this issue could be ironed out. Betty Logan (talk) 13:27, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply

    • Considering it is only around 128k and not "millions" and that it's one small sentence which should be visible to editors so they know about this discussion, I'd say no. --Gonnym (talk) 08:36, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, we could, but I don't think we should. Apart from it being false tht the notice is shown on millions of articles, it's rather questionable that the merge notification is useless crud, and it's also rather questionable that casual readers don't care about it. IMO there is nothing wrong with casual readers seeing that Wikipedia is not a finished product, but a continuing work in progress. The small, unobtrusive line that shows the reader -- any reader -- that there are roadworks going on, and that you (yes, **you**, casual reader) are invited to visit a discussion of a proposed change (and possibly learn something about how wikipedia is made, who writes wikipedia, and how changes are discussed, even if they don't participate in the discussion) is IMO a feature, not a bug. 2001:1C04:1903:3900:A44C:137B:E018:F138 (talk) 12:01, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, with the switch function that cymru.lass mentioned. Didn't even know that existed. But yeah, there's definitely redundancy in the templates as they are. Gatemansgc (TɅ̊LK) 22:57, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • No. I've never edited a "Hollywood cartoon" article, but now I've seen the infobox template for it. First of all, what is a "Hollywood cartoon"? Is it one made only in "Hollywood" at a U.S. studio? Second, is a 7-minute 1938 Popeye the Sailor cartoon by Fleischer Studios the equivalent of Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes? Did the production of a Popeye the Sailor cartoon entail exactly the same specialized skills as the production of The Lady Vanishes? A Popeye the Sailor cartoon is one of many in a series of 1930s-1940s Popeye cartoons -- but there is only one The Lady Vanishes feature film. Cartoons are drawn -- live action films are not. A cartoon, whether created in "Hollywood" or Japan, requires a team of talents not involved in the production of a live action film (except for those feature films that use animated opening and closing credits, such as The Pink Panther). So ... no. Cartoons and live action films are two different creatures and the infobox templates for each should not be merged into one. (And from what I've seen by looking at a handful of animated film articles such as 2013's Frozen and 2004's The Incredibles -- they're using the wrong infobox because they don't include "story artist", "layout artist", "animator", "color process", etc., fields; without which they would not exist.)

No need to have a separate template for just 11 articles. We should also discus whether some of the 'pulp' template's parameters are excessively crufty and thus unnecessary. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:22, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support merge - per nom. There really is no need for these variations, which often are the result of trying to place unrelated things into one template. This one for example is only a 1/3 actually about the character and 2/3 about "series". Could be also merged into Template:Infobox comics character (no idea why that isn't a "wrapper" of character, but that is for a different place). --Gonnym (talk) 12:55, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Randonly picked 4 templates and they are all pretty much the same infobox, just a bit different in visual style. Once a style and layout is picked, merging them shouldn't be that hard. Gaining the consensus for that is a different story. --Gonnym (talk) 15:44, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Toddy1 curious that you have time to revert my changes and post here but not enough time to engage in constructive dialogue with the messages I posted on your talk page... --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 09:10, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Zackmann08: please could you revert your edits[7] to Template:Geobox since they cause the template to be unusable. Toddy1 (talk) 09:30, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for fixing that :) Toddy1 (talk) 10:00, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - only used in 5 articles now and those two can be easily fixed. --Gonnym (talk) 11:49, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Izno, Pigsonthewing, BrandonXLF, Gonnym, and Toddy1: I am closing this discussion as it is duplicated by the broader discussion at Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2018_November_11#Template:Geobox. I realize that this discussion was opened first and I want to be clear, there is NO attempt to discard your opinions, that is why I am pinging you. Rather then discussing individual aspects of the template I felt it was more appropriate to discuss {{geobox}} in its entirety. --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:14, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, here is one template with two associated articles, not one, and that might be considered sufficient to keep. But it is still a little used template and I'm nominating it for deletion. Liz Read! Talk! 02:16, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - it's only used in the two articles in the template itself. Surely a "See Also" section is far more helpful here. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 09:17, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I guess my question today is how many blue links (articles) are required for there to be a useful template? I think it should be more than one. Liz Read! Talk! 02:13, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

delete Same rationale as above; if the second link is made, it would still be better served as a "see also" section Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 09:18, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. I've never nominated a template for deletion. But, from an newbie's point of view, there is only one actual article that is included on this template. The template IS being used on 2 articles but it is a sea of red links and this situation has not changed for 18 months. It doesn't seem to be serving much of a purpose and I don't imagine the 30 red links will become articles in the foreseeable future. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 02:08, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Well, if these are notable subjects
WP:REDLINK comes into play. Navigational templates should have a lot of articles, but you could make an argument that these articles could be made rather than deleting the nav template Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 09:20, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply
