Template:Filet-O-Fish → Template:WikiLove - fishburger — This makes it appears that Wikipedia endorses McDonalds and its Filet-o-fish, and advertises it. It should be neutrally made. 70.24.251.71 ( talk) 05:05, 4 March 2012 (UTC) reply

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

• Oppose, there are many other WikiLove templates that you can choose instead if you don't endorse McDonalds. It's really the users who endorse McDonalds rather than Wikipedia. -- The Evil IP address ( talk) 11:11, 4 March 2012 (UTC) reply
  • What about WP:NOTADVERTISING ? 70.24.251.71 ( talk) 10:25, 5 March 2012 (UTC) reply
    • Please see Pillar #5. – Lionel ^{( talk)} 10:35, 5 March 2012 (UTC) reply
      • Doesn't that require a WP:IAR determination? NOTADVERTISING is a policy. 70.24.251.71 ( talk) 10:41, 5 March 2012 (UTC) reply
        • This daft template is funny and makes editors happy. Happy editors improve Wikipedia. If a rule gets in the way of improving wikipedia, ignore it. This constitutes an "IAR determination." – Lionel ^{( talk)} 10:56, 5 March 2012 (UTC) reply
          • Doesn't determining an IAR require a WP:CONSENSUS and not a declaration ? 70.24.251.71 ( talk) 04:39, 6 March 2012 (UTC) reply
• Oppose: NOTADVERTISING requires intent--which is absent here.– Lionel ^{( talk)} 10:56, 5 March 2012 (UTC) reply
• Delete. I hate Filet-O-Fishes. Jenks24 ( talk) 18:21, 5 March 2012 (UTC) reply

Discussion

Any additional comments:

This template isn't actually about the encyclopedic topic of the Filet-O-Fish... shouldn't this name be reserved for that? (ie, shouldn't all WikiLove templates be prepended with "WikiLove"? ) 70.24.251.71 ( talk) 08:49, 6 March 2012 (UTC) reply

No. Very few Wikilove templates have "Wikilove" and many surprisingly are also encyclopedic topics. E.g. {{ Hug}}, {{ Smile}} and even {{ Popcorn}}. – Lionel ^{( talk)} 09:45, 6 March 2012 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia, it seems inappropriate to appropriate the primary names for non-encyclopedic uses, preempting any encyclopedic use of these names. 70.24.251.71 ( talk) 03:39, 7 March 2012 (UTC) reply
