:The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was no consensus. Appears to be a content dispute better resolved somewhere with more participation than obscure TfDs. Opabinia regalis (talk) 06:42, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

  • {{Tfd links|Dubrovnik nobility2}}
  • {{Tfd links|Dubrovnik nobility sidebar}}

Fails TFD reasons 2 and 4. Both are replaced with Template:Republic of Ragusa topics. The two templates fail NPOV as representing noble families of the Republic of Ragusa as "Dubrovnik noble families", also using Croatian, and not Latin/Italian names for these. The city of DubrovnikRepublic of Ragusa. Zoupan 22:19, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

  • Nonsense. Zoupan created what is essentially a duplicate template (with all Italian names pointedly) and wants to delete the old ones, that have served just fine for years and years. As for "NPOV", the user doesn't seem to grasp the fact that the city of Dubrovnik, and the nobility thereof, did not evaporate with the Republic of Ragusa: they continued on as nobles (usually counts) of Austria-Hungary. In fact, believe it or not Zoupan, the majority of those families exist today as well (you're talking with a relative).

:In short: strong keep. I'm afraid this is a bad-faith, POV-pushing proposal, intended to advance a particular historiographic point of view. -- Director (talk) 23:53, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

::What is the problem in deleting obsolete templates? The notability of every single article listed is their Ragusan nobility status. There is no dispute over their importance and part in legacy of Dubrovnik, but using the term "nobility of Dubrovnik" for Ragusan nobility, and then using only Croatian names for these, is not suitable. It is anachronistic. Dubrovnik does not have nobility since long ago. Yes, when parts of the Ragusan nobility entered Austria-Hungary, they became part of that system. Descendants may exist today, but that does not mean that they are "Dubrovnik nobility". One should indeed be proud of his heritage, but not take these kind of things personal. These templates should be scrapped.--Zoupan 12:50, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

:::The problem is that the template isn't "obsolete", but is instead being attacked because you disagree with the name forms used in it. You're deliberately attempting to render it "obsolete", by way of a duplicate template, so as not to have to actually push the changes you want to see. This is about your disagreeing with Wikipedia's use of perceived "neologisms".

:::Furthermore, it doesn't seem like you thought this through: your template "Republic of Ragusa topics" deals with subjects relating solely to the Republic of Ragusa (1358-1808), whereas the majority of these families have histories since as early as the 12th century, and continued to exist (in one form or another) for 200 years after the fall of the Republic. I.e. its scope appears to be about half the time these families existed. -- Director (talk) 11:29, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

  • Keep. Zoupan's duplicate templates or redirects show his particular POV. As for the language, the official language in the Republic of Dubrovnik/Republic of Ragusa was Latin, and both Italian and Croatian were commonly spoken, hence both are at least equal. --Silverije (talk) 21:49, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Remove. Long-standing discussion. Everyone agrees that both Italian and Croatian were spoken in Ragusa, but for some reasons this nobility of Ragusa (Dubrovnik?) is presented mainly using the Slavic variant of the name, which is indeed a neologism. Side note: sources are in favor or using the romance version of the name when referring to those noble Houses. However, the articles do not meet IMHO the minimum requirements of notability and should be removed. Silvio1973 (talk) 09:44, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

::Could it be because Dubrovnik (Ragusa) is a Croatian town? But this illustrates my point from above: what's at issue here are the name forms used in the template, not the template itself. This is an attempt to deliberately try and make the template "obsolete", so as not to have to properly discuss its content, i.e. the said noble surnames (presumably due to lack of relevant arguments: all I've heard is "they're neologisms", which, even if accepted - doesn't matter per policy). -- Director (talk) 11:29, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

A four-level series addressing vandalism to own talk page. Judging from an old discussion found on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject User warnings/Archive 1 this series created in 2007 was supposedly meant to deal with cases where users removed e.g. warning templates from their own user talk page. Judging from {{oldid|Wikipedia:User pages|139307588|Previous revision of Wikipedia:User pages}} the templates would have seen very little meaningful use then, and likely even less now, were they to be promoted. They have never been part of the Uw series, and I can't see a reason for why they should be. Sam Sailor Talk! 13:15, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Propose merging Template:Welsh dogs with Template:English dogs.

I propose changing the name of Template:English dogs to Template:British Isles dogs and merging Template:Welsh dogs, Template:Scottish dogs and Template:Irish dogs into it, in a similar manner to Template:Horse breeds of the British Isles. The histories of these countries and their dogs are intertwined, many of the breeds covered are shown in two or more of these templates and it will allow the separation of the Scottish, Welsh & Irish dogs into categories by role / type. Cavalryman V31 (talk) 10:33, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

  • Weak Support - As it is part of the United Kingdom, but I'd suggest "Template:United Kingdom dogs" or "Template:Great Britain dogs" as the name of the template.Godsy(TALKCONT) 17:00, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Oppose instead create a new template called Template:British dogs and a redirect from Template:British Isles dogs ; and merge all three templates into the new template, and redirect the source template names. There is no reason to promote the history of the English template instead of giving equal consideration. -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 05:45, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
  • {{done}}. Merged to Template:British dogs. Cavalryman V31 (talk) 12:37, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Unsure about the proposal. The list just gets longer and longer. Also, United Kingdom or not, the countries of the UK remain quite distinct in traditions, and dog breeding is a tradition there. A number of dog breeds have "English", "Scottish", "Welsh" or "Irish" in the name, while there is no British Terrier, Setter, or Wolfhound. See also the remark under #Template:Irish Dogs. Next time please wait until a consensus is reached. PanchoS (talk) 06:11, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

  • Unsure, see my comment under #Template:Scottish dogs. However, the naming Template:British dogs outright unacceptable. If combined with Irish dogs, it has to be Template:Dog breeds of the British Isles or Template:British Isles dog breeds. PanchoS (talk) 06:13, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Indeed. While Ireland is part of the geographic grouping called the British Isles, it is erroneous to call Irish dogs "British".Godsy(TALKCONT) 06:21, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Gentlemen, I sincerely apologise. {{Reply to|Godsy}}, I was genuinely unaware of the time requirements, as to consensus the language used in your opposition to the inclusion of Irish dogs seemed restrained. {{Reply to|PanchoS}}, I am very happy to change the name to Template:British Isles dogs, it is simply behind the scenes coding that is in no way reflected in the title that as seen on any breed pages. As to the national traditions, my reasoning for merging the templates is, in the world of dogs it was a regional tradition across Great Britain, Ireland and the various small isles that surround the both, the dog breeds from all four countries are inextricably linked. The English Foxhound is the most common packhound in all four countries and whilst its genesis was in Northern England, the development occurred concurrently (and continues) in all four countries, in fact the inclusion of the word English is applied by our American friends to distinguish it from their own variety. The English Cocker Spaniel again is only so named in the USA to distinguish it from the American Cocker Spaniel and in reality the article should be renamed to remove the word English. The Harrier, Otterhound and Beagle are common to all four counties, the national exceptions to the commonality of packhounds are the Kerry Beagle (which is only a Beagle in name) and the Dumfriesshire Hound, which is actually a variety of Foxhound. The separation of the English Springer Spaniel and the Welsh Springer Spaniel is a modern creation of the dog show world, they were and remain one working breed that also occurs in Scotland and Ireland, the variations on the type are theClumber Spaniel, and Sussex Spaniel, the Field Spaniel being another variation created by the show breeder fraternity. The extinct English Water Spaniel in reality lives on in the Irish Water Spaniel, as does the English Deerhound in the Scottish Deerhound.All varieties of the Collie are regional variations on a common breed, something very similar can be said for the various Setters and also the Terriers, many local breeds (usually with a regionally identifying name) are genetically almost identical, the possible exception being some of the long-legged Irish breeds, although the Airedale fills the same niche. Again, I genuinely apologise if my actions have caused grievances, they were not intended to do so, simply to better link regionally common breeds with historical and links.
