Wikidata:Requests for deletions/Archive/2018/05/07

WikiProject Taxonomy has more than 50 participants and couldn't be pinged. Please post on the WikiProject's talk page instead. These are 2 different ranks. Can you advise? Mbch331 (talk) 06:54, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Until recently all galapagos tortoises were considered as subspecies of a single species, C. nigra, however in a recent paper it was proposed they are species. Unlikely to hold up in the long term but for now the IUCN Checklist (TTWG 2017) is recognising them as species. As this is the major checklist followed by Wikispecies, Wikipedia etc we should follow suit here too. As I said this is unlikely to hold up in the long term since the various forms of Galaps are genetically almost identical, its one that may be dynamic for a few years.

Keep - it is a valid item at least as taxonomic synonym and also valid as taxon in alternative taxonomies. I Included it in Santiago Island giant tortoise (Q2854422) as taxon synonym (P1420) -- Achim Raschka (talk) 07:31, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
Keep. Why do you want to delete an item for a synonym, SilverSpeech? We have (hundred) thousands of them. --Succu (talk) 21:32, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Notable? Debenben (talk) 19:42, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

It's an item for a template. Unless it's deleted at idwiki, I don't see why we should delete this item.
--- Jura 14:20, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

My reason for deletion is that I dislike items like these cluttering the search results for vectors. The official reason is that it does not meet the notability criteria. Perhaps one could find a second sitelink, but that is up to whoever wants to keep it or create such items in the first place.--Debenben (talk) 12:32, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Please provide the Wikidata guideline that says that "templates should have at least two sitelinks". Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 12:36, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Wikidata:Notability 1. point 3: "If a link is a template, the item must contain at least two such sitelinks [...]"--Debenben (talk) 12:51, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Hm, I didn't remember it like that. Seems like it was changed last year with not many participants. Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 13:00, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

It doesn't mean we delete the existing ones.
--- Jura 13:37, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Single-sitelink template items make it easier to manage sitelinks overall. In case a second sitelink is created somewhere, one has to look at one place only (which is Wikidata), rather than searching all projects for yet unconnected templates. It is also easier to merge potential duplicates once a template is connected to Wikidata. IMO we should try to connect all templates regardless of the number of sitelinks. —MisterSynergy (talk) 13:59, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Ideally, but they mainly became a deletion task for admins. Many templates just have a function within in a given wiki. Besides, people tend to connect templates together merely because they have the same name.
--- Jura 14:13, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Templates as a deletion task for admins are not a big deal (these months I’m probably the most active admin in this field, so I am well-aware of numbers and workload). If you want to lower admin workload in this field, you need to discuss about single-sitelink category items (~2.7M, around 67% of all category items) which easily outnumber the single-sitelink template items (~668k, around 74% of all template items). —MisterSynergy (talk) 14:29, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

If the numbers on such deletions are low, it's because we limited the creation of new items with just one sitelink. If the number of existing single sitelink templates is stable, this would show that these don't add much to Wikidata.
--- Jura 14:38, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

I have the impression that for connecting duplicate items about vectors (not necessarily templates), you are better off searching at wikipedia, because at wikidata the search results are cluttered with hundreds of unconnected template items.--Debenben (talk) 14:16, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Not deleted No consensus to delete. Further, apart from the stated above, Wikidata:Notability point 1., third bullet, states also about template sitelinks "Items for non-subpages can be created with 1 sitelink, but shouldn't be created in great numbers". Lymantria (talk) 13:04, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
