Propose merging Template:Secret with Template:Secret singles.
I merged some of the band's single/album articles, and I don't think the singles template is needed. There are currently six singles linked in the singles template, and three of them are already linked in the main template. The other three links will fit in the main template.

• Merge to {{Secret (South Korean band)}} per Secret (South Korean band) since this is NOT about secret -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 06:56, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
• Comment regarding notice - @Random86: Please notify the creator of Template:Secret singles that this TfD proposed merge discussion is pending. Thank you. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:05, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Template:Microconsoles

Template:Microconsoles (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant to the seventh and eighth generation {{Video game consoles}} templates. Presumably was created before the video game console templates were merged. Molandfreak (talk, contribs, email) 01:05, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

• Comment no consoles are listed at that template, only the generation articles, so not redundant, since the links do not exist at the suggested redundancy -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 06:58, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

I don't understand your comment. The redundancy exists at the level of the generations. If we keep this template going across generations, it's going to get huge and unnavigable. It's a lot better to just put them in with their respective generation. If we had done this with all the game consoles ever made, the template would be huge and unnavigable. All of the links of the Microconsoles template are also in their separate generations, which is all they need and I don't understand why people think otherwise. --Molandfreak (talk, contribs, email) 17:58, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

• Keep This template encompasses microconsoles as a whole across all generations, which is not something {{Video game consoles}} is currently able to portray cleanly. -- ferret (talk) 16:02, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Is that something that's inherently needed? The generational boxes are separated to avoid the clutter of consoles with little relation to each other being on the same template. Keeping this template for a long period of time will result in unnavigable clutter. List of microconsoles will do for microconsoles across generations. --Molandfreak (talk, contribs, email) 17:58, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

There's some very long discussions about how these templates are arranged at the talk page for {{Video game consoles}}, from the latest merger efforts regarding these console templates. Not to "OTHER STUFF" but templates for the other types of consoles also exists, as consensus was not to attempt to merge them into the primary template. This template isn't being used any different that {{Home video game consoles}} and {{Handheld game consoles}} -- ferret (talk) 18:11, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

• Keep Agree with Ferret. --Cartakes (talk) 22:48, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
