I'm not sure exactly what the use of this template is. It appears to be an indication that the user is a single-purpose account. There's only one transclusion so far, and that's the creator of this template, who appears to have no other contributions. — sunstar net^talk 19:26, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - while a template like {{spa}} might be useful in individual debates, being a single purpose account is not a blockable offense (and WP:SOCK even allows accounts for controversial issues), and there should not be a template that marks this. Disruption may be a good reason to block, but this in itself is not a bad thing, per se. That seems to be the intended use, but I have no idea why the author would tag him/herself with that... odd. Gracenotes ^T § 21:13, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. That is not even inherently bad, much less blockable. And appropriating the format of the indefblock template at least implies blocking. -Amarkov moo! 22:52, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - what's the point? spa's are bad to begin with. Is this some WP:POINT demonstration? Part Deux 23:55, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Assumes bad faith. Someone who !votes in DRV today might make a good contribution tomorrow. We also have templates to identify possible SPAs in debates. If they are disruptive, there are plenty of ways to handle that too. —dgies^t_c 00:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -If this template is deleted, some solution must be found. Imagine this: Kid sees article with an image that he shouldn't be seeing. Kid tells parent. Parent tells places like the media. Media gives Wikipedia a bad rep. Wikipedia is banned in places like schools. A better solution must be found. --TeckWiz ^ParlateContribs_@ 23:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- We've been WP:NOT#CENSORED for at least two years, and probably longer de facto. I don't think that a "solution" is that important. -Amarkov moo! 01:04, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I can imagine two cases for that:
  1. Kid sees a picture of a penis in a penis article. Oh noes! The press'll get in a frenzy!
  2. Someone vandalizes an article with a bad picture.
    1. They contact the OTRS, and the situation is resolved... with patience.
    2. A member of the press publishes an article exposing vandalism on Wikipedia. Everyone else says "duh".
    3. A member of the press posts a thoughtful (and undoubtedly novel) commentary on the pros and cons of the open knowledge model. Everyone nods solemnly, pretending to think profound thoughts, and moves on.
- That's all, really. Will all due respect to humanity in general, if someone's stupid xor overprotective, we can only hope that everyone else won't be. Gracenotes ^T § 01:51, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there's any precedent to create such a template. While interesting, and having these for each day forever would be cool, it's hardly encyclopedic and has only a few uses. Thus, it should be deleted. _└^Jared_┘^┌_talk^┐ 13:33, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Having one for each day would be interesting, although I fear a complete absence of focus on past events. We already have mountains of lists to do this, and we don't need templates. Gracenotes ^T § 14:47, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The cast and crew and film studio are unnecessary in a template, being redundant to article information and not directly related. There are only 5 articles dealing with The Devil Wears Prada, which can all link to each other in the article and in a See also section. –Pomte 11:15, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As long as there is more than 3 articles related to the film it should be removed and hello it's easier to use template than looking at See also section.--HW-Barnstar PLS 13:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - the purpose of templates should not be to communicate content (as an extremely general generalization; infoboxes might be an exception, but then again they don't communicate information, their parameters do), so when all items in this template related to communicating information are removed, there are just 3 links from one The Devil Wears Prada article to another, and that can easily be put in See also or in prose. Gracenotes ^T § 14:45, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete completely; don't substitute. The Meryl Streep article lists every film she has appeared in, and a chunky template for each film isn't required. Addhoc 15:52, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete before every actor article is clogged with a template about every film they have starred in. There is a search box to the left for a reason, and, failing that, click on the wikilink that is already there. --Steve _(Stephen)^talk 21:33, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete, don't substitute Just another infobox which clogs up space. If you look at this in the context of the people involved, you would add this to the article for every actor that was in the film. Imagine if there was one of these templates for each and every film documented on WP within an actor's profile. The articles would get enormous and also clogged with Infoboxes. thewinchester 08:43, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete with extreme prejudice. Not just the actors, but also the studio articles would be ruined if per-movie templates were to be inflicted upon them. This sort of horror, while presumably well-intentioned, must be nipped in the bud! Xtifr _tälk 22:45, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, navigational template should only be used for things that are linked by a defining characteristic -- we can't have one for every single film. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 21:14, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, and I say this as the person who wrote and created the articles about both the book and the movie. I was flattered when this template was created, but I really didn't think it was necessary. Struck me as rather fanboyish, actually, and given that I'm trying to cut the movie article down to size any K I can get back from this is fine. As for Hotwiki's objection, all the relevant articles are multiply linked from each other to begin with, and I got rid of the See Also section in the movie article when it was suggested in PR.

Unneeded. All Survivors that were voted out played twice and were only voted out once are listed here. That means all other that played twice were voted out, making this template redundant.--TeckWiz ^ParlateContribs_@ 01:45, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, the table is pointless and obviously redundant as TechWiz said. It should be deleted, and fast! Survivorfan101 11:34, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This does not look redundant to me as it's a separate list of names. But it is unnecessary as a template and should instead be a list in some article if it is significant. There are too many templates on each Survivor's article and this one in particular doesn't provide a strong link between the contestants listed. I would support deleting {{Survtwice}} and {{Survnovote}} as well. –Pomte 15:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
