Template:Members of the 1921 Legislative Council of Ceylon

• Template:Members of the 1921 Legislative Council of Ceylon (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Members of the 1924 Legislative Council of Ceylon (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused, no mainspace articles, and better handled by the list on Legislative Council of Ceylon and the member category it's categorized under. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:12, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Delete or convert to article and modify template. This style of navbox is just horrible. It's huge in size and acts more as content than as a navbox. If this information is wanted, then convert to an article (1921 Legislative Council of Ceylon) and modify the navbox to only include the top headers (Ex offico Members, Nominated Members, and Elected Members) without any sub-headers. This will eliminate many of the red linked sections and greatly reduce the size of the template. If this information isn't wanted, then just delete. Gonnym (talk) 04:54, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

• Strong Keep: These are part of a series of parliarmentians by year. This project is still an ongoing one that is actively being worked on by multiple members at the moment, so red links are being created. But this template is a little more detailed than others because the main article (1921 Legislative Council of Ceylon) has not yet been created. The information is all important and ideally it will be simplified down one or two levels but there is no reason to delete it.--Blackknight12 (talk) 16:59, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Template:Thessaloniki Metro templates

• Template:Thessaloniki Metro templates (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Now unused doc template after all templates it was transcluded at were deleted in previous TfDs. Gonnym (talk) 19:47, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Template:Thessaloniki Metro doc sources

• Template:Thessaloniki Metro doc sources (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Porto Metro color

• Template:Porto Metro color (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

No transclusions. Replaced with Module:Adjacent stations/Porto Metro. All articles and templates updated. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:03, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Template:Australia FHW Squad 2011 Oceania Cup

• Template:Australia FHW Squad 2011 Oceania Cup (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The 2011 Women's Oceania Cup had two teams, and Australia finished second. Not an important enough competition to warrant a specific squad template Joseph2302 (talk) 16:09, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Template:State parks of Arizona map

• Template:State parks of Arizona map (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:State parks of Washington map (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Both unused and the two articles these maps were created for, List of Arizona state parks and List of Washington state parks, already have maps on there. The Washington article already has a clickable map. Unless this Arizona Map is intended to replace the text-based map on the Arizona article, then it can be kept for that purpose. Also, the map used on the Washington State article has more links to state parks than this one. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:55, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

I'm good with removing the unused Washington map that I created. Vermiceli (talk) 23:30, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Template:MCOTM

• Template:MCOTM (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The collaboration project has been dead since 2006 (3 months after it started). The other templates in the set were already deleted back in 2014. Gonnym (talk) 09:15, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

• Delete per nomination. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:00, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Template:Category warning

• Template:Category warning (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Should not WP: No disclaimers preclude the use of this template? Also, nearly any user category could conceivably be used for discrimination, harassment, or trolling, so the template is completely useless. Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 20:38, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

• My understanding of WP:DISCLAIM is that it is only intended to apply to mainspace. It is also not exactly true that nearly any category might be used for discrimination; nobody will be attacked for being from a particular US state, what languages they know, where they went to college, their editing habits, &c. Nevertheless, I don't necessarily disagree that this template is a bit silly, since anyone transcluding these categories will know from personal experience that they might be discriminated against and, if we're being quite honest, nobody who knows enough about Wikipedia to notice and navigate categories actually cares about this stuff. I created this template because I saw its contents being used directly on a number of categories, which I thought was silly and inefficient; I am indifferent to the issue of its use overall. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 21:38, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia is not censored nor should it be. The same applies to controversial topics which is what the template is referring to. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:02, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
• Delete WP:Content disclaimer Wikipedia contains content that people may find objectionable applies to the entire site. And if users want to categorize themselves

  Users should be aware that displaying this category or any of its subcategories may make them a target

  — template:category warning

  (I assume this is restricted to user categorization, since it makes no sense for any other kind of categorization), then WP:NOTSOCIAL Wikipedia is not a social network, so stop using it as one -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 22:31, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

• Nearly every category that has this template should be deleted as failing WP:USERCAT. That said none of the arguments for deletion are convincing; this template has nothing to do with Wikipedia being censored and all 65.92.246.142 does is restate my first sentence in more words which isn't really relevant to the whether this template should exist. Wikipedia:No disclaimers is unclear about whether it applies outside mainspace and Compassionate727 refutes the nominator's point about applying to every user category. So weak keep I guess. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 22:00, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
