This template redirect is too vague to be very helpful, and has no current transclusions. It was initially created as a redirect to
Template:Fancruft (now
Template:Overly detailed) before being deleted at the request of its author. It could still plausibly refer to excessive detail, or to other issues, such as excessive images of any sort (
Template:Too many photos), excessive references to popular culture (
Template:In popular culture), etc.

- Comment. There is
Template:NFIO which redirects to here. The documentation page is present but empty. It doesn't seem used much. I think it is intended to mark pages as those with images that are non-free use (I get pulled up with this a lot if you look at my talk page but usually after explanation they are accepted, but occasionally deleted, that is quite right if it is
WP:COPYVIO but I don't do it deliberately but I don't know the whole law of the State of Florida). Most of the incoming links are from user's pages, not articles, although there is a
WP:ANI incident linked from that article to
here but I can find nothing about it. If it is about non-free images, surely we have a better target somewhere,
Wikipedia:Non-free content has redirects at
WP:F and
WP:FAIRUSE and several others, so I am not sure this is necessary.

- I don't see anything wrong with
Template:NFIO (non-free image overload?). --

- Well this is just the
Shaming of the Trew. My mistake in being brief and vague rather than carrying on forever like I usually do. Nothing wrong with
Template:NFIO. I was more suggesting that if that exists, there's no need for
Template:Excessive, which seems an attempt at the same purpose.

Political status of Crimea
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was procedural close. It looks like RfD got bypassed a while ago. There's now a
Political status of Crimea and Sevastopol article, with an ongoing RM to move it to this title. While it still exists as a redirect, essentially all of this discussion has been superseded. --

Should redirect to
Crimean Peninsula or to
2014 Crimean crisis. The current redirection is a huge violation of
WP:NPOV, because it essentially says "Current political status of Crimea? It's Russia now.", while this is quite obviously in dispute internationally.

Delete, Redirect to
Russia, or Redirect to
Republic of Crimea#Government and Politics. per nomen, but I think these are better solutions than
Crimean Peninsula or
2014 Crimean Crisis because it focuses on
Politics.

- Don't retarget to
2014 Crimean crisis. I think that would be
recentism. --
BDD (

- but a title like "political status of Crimea" in itself implies the current political status. All the other examples of Wikipedia using the "political status of ..." formulation pertain to currently active international disputes. I doubt anyone would type this if they wanted to know about the political status of Crimea in the 1850s, they'd look at
History of Crimea.

- We can't redirect to
Republic of Crimea#Government and Politics for
WP:NPOV reasons. The Republic of Crimea is not the only party to claim Crimea, and redirecting there would imply that Wikipedia prefers/validates their claim in favour of others.

- Retarget to
Crimea#Politics.
Mr. Guye and
CodeCat, can you take a second look at this? Some of the involved articles have moved since this nomination.
Crimea is now about the peninsula, so I think retargeted to the Politics section of that article is the best, most neutral way of handling this. --

- Comment.
Crimea#Politics doesn't exist (I presume it did when BDD suggested it). Trying to discuss this is like walking on
quicksand. Just close it with no consensus.

Haas Racing Developments is unrelated to Stewart-Haas Racing except through common partial ownership of the latter; HRD's Truck Series team is distinct, and HRD's F1 bid is wholly seperate from SHR. This is a misleading redirect; the subject is notable, but it requires its own article.

- Either Convert to an article (if there's enough information specifically about HRD to warrant that) or Retarget to
Gene Haas#Formula One entry 2015/2016.

- Why wait?
User:DH85868993 retargetting suggestion makes perfect sense. Just do it. It can always be converted to an article later. --

- Shouldn't the HRD article be around as enough information about the project has been released, more info then
US F1 Team did.

- Comment. There is not a lot of point saying "convert to article" unless you are offering to do it. Are you offering?
