The result of the debate was Keep Withdrawn by nominator. During the tfd a solution was proposed and accepted that changes how it works for the better. I don't think this tag can be used to "claim" articles indefinently any more, and that was my big concern. I hadn't thought of this solution before, nor had anyone else apparently (we'd been discussing this issue for a while on the template talk page). -- W.marsh 13:40, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

This is the "major edit - please don't edit this article" template. While I can understand why it was created, in my experience, looking at every article that uses it over a period of a month, it doesn't really serve any useful purpose and actually just encourages poor editting practices. I've yet to see it added to an article where there actually is a genuine chance of edit conflicts, e.g. breaking news, entertainment, sporting and political events in progress, etc. In fact it would be a bad idea there... in my experience sitting on those articles, the best course of action is to full protect it to fix major problems like corrupted formatting or a coordinated vandal attack, otherwise consensus is to just revert the bad and keep the good as best you can. Telling people not to edit is a bad idea... you loose good contributions and offend people. So when is this template used? Usually in basically good faith, when people are working hard on an article... but it's either articles they just created, or at most, articles that average an edit a day. Edit conflicts simply aren't a problem there. In the 0.1% chance someone actually gets one, it will be a situation where the conflict is easy to fix. This template though breeds a kind of feeling of ownership of articles, I've seen it again and again. When someone adds this template, they think they're the only person who can edit the article for days or even months, and if you remove the template, even if they hadn't editted the article in 3 weeks, how dare you remove their template from their article? And the template is very often just forgotten, and no major edit ever occurs. All of this discourages people from contributing to articles, because the template even tells them not to edit the article while the tag is up.
So to summarize this longest nomination ever, this template in theory has good uses, but in practice has no good uses... and just encourages poor, ownership-esque editting practices. It might be an oldie, but I don't think that justifies keeping it around. And I remind people that the template might sound okay in the kind of theory usually brought up on deletion pages... but in practice, you have to realize, it doesn't really do anything positive. -- W.marsh 17:12, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

individual articles for each year of Romania's (or any other country's) are duplicative and certainly not necessarily notable. There should be one article for Romania in Eurovision Song Fest which covers the key points. Any notable groups, who happen to be Romania's entry, should have their own articles. Those that are not should not be wedged into the Wikipedia by the mechanism of having yearly Eurovision articles by country.
