Note: the problem is not the number of templates, and removing random templates does not help. I've determined that the problem is with one template specifically, the map. The map template contains around 70 KB data, but somehow the template and/or Lua magic makes it exceed the include size limit of 2048 KB. I'm trying to figure out how this is happening. PJvanMill)
talk(19:32, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
(Pinging
Tinton5 &
Northamerica1000, who've been contributing to the article) If I've understood things correctly, it is mostly due to the size being double-counted for every nested level of transclusion (not completely sure it's only levels of transclusion), and also the relevant size is (I think?) the size of what's generated by the Lua module from the data, which seems to be considerably bigger than the 70 KB starting data.

I respectfully disagree. Note that most of the text in Hart's article is about the Delfonics. Statements that Hart was sampled by rappers apply to Delfonics songs. In later years Hart has some songwriting and production credits on items that are largely non-notable in their own right, and he has a few later releases under the name "Wil Hart & The Delfonics" (e.g.
[1]). As a result, I don't think he did anything notable outside of the group name, and it can all be described at their article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (

Comment: The lists are too long and don't provide notability for individuals being in the list.

Comment:AmericanAir88: Hey, I was one of the first few people to substantially work on this article (and it was the first article I worked on), so it's a "nice" coincidence that this is the first thing I see when I open Cleanup!
This is from back when I had no idea how Wikipedia worked, and I just wanted to write. It's in a pretty notNPOV (and I see how it could seem promotional, but that wasn't my intention at all), and it contains a lot of original research, because I'm part of the project.
However, I don't think that it should be deleted. I know that lack of notability isn't the only reason for deletion of articles, but there are a lot of reliable sources that have talked about BTE (
Independent,
ScreenRant,
EuroGamer,
Vice, ...), and I think there's a lot we could improve based on these (though this would result in an article with a much smaller scope, of course).
I'm going to try and improve it (even though I'm not that interested in writing about BTE anymore, but I won't leave it stranded), and everyone else is very welcome to do so, too. This would include removing all of my original research. Sorry for creating this abomination :) 🐈 cAtte_·talk·contributions·17:38, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Note: the problem is not the number of templates, and removing random templates does not help. I've determined that the problem is with one template specifically, the map. The map template contains around 70 KB data, but somehow the template and/or Lua magic makes it exceed the include size limit of 2048 KB. I'm trying to figure out how this is happening. PJvanMill)

(Pinging
Tinton5 &
Northamerica1000, who've been contributing to the article) If I've understood things correctly, it is mostly due to the size being double-counted for every nested level of transclusion (not completely sure it's only levels of transclusion), and also the relevant size is (I think?) the size of what's generated by the Lua module from the data, which seems to be considerably bigger than the 70 KB starting data.

Afternoon of a Faun (Robbins) - 1958 ballet. Revival and other companies sections are unreferenced and has formatting issues, should be either removed or reformatted. There had been revivals every few years and the ballet is performed by many companies so my stance is to remove the two sections. Corachow (

Christine Shevchenko - Ukrainian-American ballet dancer.

African diaspora I've never seen such a jumbled mess of wikitext in my life! Is there no source code editors here any more? You can't even find the lead because of a run on infobox. Is there a cleanup bot that can be run on this? Has many more issues like self-definition the the word disaspora (not in Chromium dictionary but neither was "disproven") and I stopped there and went to the talk page then made a clarifying edit. Jimbo's talk page was promoting the wikiproject with same name so i went there to find out what the word meant. Technophant (

I respectfully disagree. Note that most of the text in Hart's article is about the Delfonics. Statements that Hart was sampled by rappers apply to Delfonics songs. In later years Hart has some songwriting and production credits on items that are largely non-notable in their own right, and he has a few later releases under the name "Wil Hart & The Delfonics" (e.g.
[1]). As a result, I don't think he did anything notable outside of the group name, and it can all be described at their article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (

Comment I have reorganized the article, but the missing lead was the minor problem there. The article has very long lists (I won't mention the sources). Can someone take a look?

Comment: The lists are too long and don't provide notability for individuals being in the list. I would support trimming all the red links as that would leave the ones that have pages and are likely more notable. The list issue is old and hasn't been addressed since it was noted in 2012. I did some trimming of red links.

Comment:AmericanAir88: Hey, I was one of the first few people to substantially work on this article (and it was the first article I worked on), so it's a "nice" coincidence that this is the first thing I see when I open Cleanup!
This is from back when I had no idea how Wikipedia worked, and I just wanted to write. It's in a pretty notNPOV (and I see how it could seem promotional, but that wasn't my intention at all), and it contains a lot of original research, because I'm part of the project.
However, I don't think that it should be deleted. I know that lack of notability isn't the only reason for deletion of articles, but there are a lot of reliable sources that have talked about BTE (
Independent,
ScreenRant,
EuroGamer,
Vice, ...), and I think there's a lot we could improve based on these (though this would result in an article with a much smaller scope, of course).
I'm going to try and improve it (even though I'm not that interested in writing about BTE anymore, but I won't leave it stranded), and everyone else is very welcome to do so, too. This would include removing all of my original research. Sorry for creating this abomination :) 🐈 cAtte_·talk·contributions·17:38, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
