December 30
- Template:Hindi (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
No uses. Link FAs are now hanled by Wikidata. Magioladitis (talk) 17:28, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- Template:Infobox Australian road (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages) (612 transclusions)
- Template:Infobox road (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages) (18,289 transclusions)
Propose merging Template:Infobox Australian road with Template:Infobox road.
Documentation describes the Australian template as "a version" of the generic one, with "several additional parameters that are specific for roads in Australia". However the generic template already includes code for Australian roads. We don't need a separate template for one country; much less for just one country out of all those represented in Wikipedia articles.

- Strongly oppose - Firstly, the "documentation" that the nominator refers to is in a "see also" note in Template:Infobox road/doc, not the documentation at Template:Infobox Australian road/doc, which does not describe it as "a version" at all. The two templates are actually very different, although the layout of Infobox Australian road was modified to make it look a bit like Infobox road. Secondly, the code in Infobox road is by no means complete. The issue of whether to use Infobox road or Infobox Australian road was discussed at length only last year by members of the roads and Australian roads projects. That discussion included an RfC. As a result of significant improvements to Infobox Australian road, it was decided by those involved that a switch to Infobox road would not proceed. Unless there has been development at Infobox road since then, that template does not adequately cover Australian roads because Infobox Australian road includes functionality not included in Infobox road. Infobox road is not an all-in-one template. 2,418 articles are forced to use {{Infobox street}}, {{Infobox road small}} and {{Infobox road junction}} while Infobox Australian road includes the functionality of these templates. Merging as suggested by the nominator would result in Australian roads being forced to use four different Infoboxes instead of the one that they use now, which seems quite ridiculous. --AussieLegend (✉) 01:47, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

- Template:Infobox Paris street (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Infobox street (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:Infobox Paris street with Template:Infobox street.
Merge the overly-specific local template (just 112 transclusions) into the generic one. Chief difference is the arrondissement functionality, which should be replaced with ordinary text parameter values. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:05, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- Template:Chairpersons of the University Alliance (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:University Alliance (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:Chairpersons of the University Alliance with Template:University Alliance.
Content covered in the chairpersons navbox could easily be included in the University Alliance Navbox as a section. Chris ☮(Talk) 13:53, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- Template:JJ Project (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Utterly redundant, this template for a two-person boy band that released one single in 2012 and then was dissolved. Drmies (talk) 03:48, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
