• Yes, that's fine, delete. (This and the above two templates.) – Quadell ^(talk) 14:45, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Template:Sonic features

• Template:Sonic features (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Merged this template to Template:Sonic games; Sonic games is not particularly burdened by the items in this template and the single encompassing template will aid navigation better. Izno (talk) 11:58, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Template:Sonic characters

• Template:Sonic characters (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Merged the characters into Template:Sonic games, as the number of characters has substantially decreased. Enough so that there is only a single line. Izno (talk) 11:48, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

• Keep - There's still 9 items on the list, and the massive size of the Sonic template would be made worse with having to merge these back into it. (And as a side note, this template is very useful to have on my watchlist, as it tells me every time the Sonic fanbase attempts to spinout another non-notable character article.)

Template:RGVFC Toros squad

• Template:RGVFC Toros squad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

same as Template:Rio Grande Valley FC Toros squad; redundant and unnecessary template Joeykai (talk) 07:48, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Template:Election table/header

• Template:Election table/header (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This one is unused and, if I'm not mistaken, seems to be already merged into Template:Election table. PanchoS (talk) 06:19, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

PanchoS, any particular reason why you didn't just ask me? Frietjes (talk) 14:37, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Template:FratMember

• Template:FratMember (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:FratMemberStart (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Frat/start (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:FratMemberEnd (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

While I'm unsure we need any of these fraternity and sorority template sets, we clearly don't need several of them. Producing farily plain tables that are not considerably different from the default table (see for example Alpha Epsilon Phi#Notable members or List of Sinfonians), these are easier constructed from articlespace using basic wikitable markup. Unlike the succession boxes or other template building systems, there's also no need for maximum consistency between fraternity/sorority articles.
Still, for now, I'm nominating only the extra ones, to be replaced by the Template:Mem set of templates. PanchoS (talk) 05:48, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose Firstly, these are the only one for Fraternity/Sorority membership, all of the others in fraternity and sorority template sets are for building lists of *chapters* rather than members. Secondly, chapter is a field used by all of the users of these, and going for consistency among the various entries in Category:Lists of members of United States student societies is a good thing, not a bad one.Naraht (talk) 14:16, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Template:HERC

• Template:HERC (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Delete. There is no article on the template's subject. Fails WP:NAVBOX criterion 4. Sixth of March 05:08, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Template:Tarlac State University

• Template:Tarlac State University (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Most links lead to the sections of one of the articles using this template. Sixth of March 04:40, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Template:Slavic Orthodox Christianity

• Template:Slavic Orthodox Christianity (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

There is no such thing as "Slavic Orthodox Christianity". That article does not exist and the template it made up of various Eastern Orthodox concepts. Very confusing. Zoupan 18:18, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Well, I got the idea to create this template from some of the articles about the Russian slavophiles and articles like this one Slavic Orthodox. I did not create this article nor the term nor the other releated articles. So I wonder if the above editor can find a source that says there is no such thing as Slavic Orthodox? Since there is of course Slavic Christianity and Slavic neopaganism, Slavic Muslims and sources that use the term Slavic Orthodox [1], [2], [3]. LoveMonkey (talk) 14:42, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
