Unnecessary and unrepresentative of the series' as a whole; these templates are not used for full season-order series, as it becomes far too cramped. Same vein as Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2017 April 22#Template:Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ratings, which was also re-created at Template:Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ratings (speedy deletion requested per CSD G4), all by a recently-joined editor. -- AlexTW 12:59, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I had no idea those existed. I don't watch those shows. I seriously don't like the bar graph. It's overcrowded, it does the same exact thing as a normal table and it hurts my eyes for some reason. Callmemirela 🍁 {Talk} ♑ 16:05, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Some of those I would also argument are too much, especially Template:The Walking Dead ratings, so please don't accuse me of being illogical with this. I'm simply requesting the deletion of crowded recently-created templates. Perhaps a WP:TV or MOS:TV discussion needs to be started about when to use these. -- AlexTW 03:56, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: If you wish I can give you any lists of series that have graphics ratings? To remove them if it can make you happy ? Because as stated above, I find it totally illogical that you delete series just by choice because you do not like them on the page, because for Game Of Throne or even The Walking Dead by cons have not touched them ... Just For comparison, The Walking Dead will soon have 8 seasons as much as The Vampire Diaries, and I bet the graph will remain and display the rest of the seasons ! So either you decide to remove all its graphics or you improve them rather than delete them, because the principle of Wikipedia and knowledge and ease, and that it is easier to have a graphic under the eyes and see The audiences of his favorite series fall or not ...? Otherwise I continue to integrate them to the pages.

Sorry for my English. - DownFame (talk) 05:53, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've already commented on other graphs; I recommend that you actually read this discussion. I even commented how the template for The Walking Dead is getting out of hand. Reading: It's FUNdamental! Out of curiousity, are you the same editor who was reverting the removals of the template from different logged-out IPs? Also, please give links to the policies you mentioned. Else, you're making things up. And otherwie you will not - the content is disuputed, so now you need to discuss it. That is the principle of editing on Wikipedia. -- AlexTW 05:59, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Added three more. -- AlexTW 11:25, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Arrow ratings listed for speedy deletion under CSD G4 per previous discussion at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2016 November 5#Template:Arrow ratings and Template:The Flash ratings. Have attempted to ask the creating editor to cease in their attempts to start more templates while this discussion continues. -- AlexTW 11:42, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) I was debating that. Some of them are valid and probably do more good than bad to the article and provide a sensible graphical display of the ratings. I did, however, start a discussion at MOS:TV on whether the template should become deprecated, or if we start creating guidelines for its usage. -- AlexTW 23:26, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
