Template:TopicTOC-Mathematics

Template:TopicTOC-Mathematics (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This is an unused template that has replaced by template:MathTopicTOC Illia Connell (talk) 17:57, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks more like it was forked and never used. Delete, either way. --Izno (talk) 18:03, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:My Lord series

Template:My Lord series (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

WP:NENAN: Only 3 articles linked (and only 2 in the series). Izno (talk) 16:05, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

From my talk page. --Izno (talk) 14:27, 17 June 2012 (UTC). You marked the My Lord template for deletion because it only links to 2 games. The series actually has 4 iterations, and 3 have been translated (the third was translated as "No Heroes Allowed" http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/09/02/no-heroes-allowed-announced-for-playstation-portable/). The issue is that the series does not have a consistent name in the west, in fact each iteration has had a different title. I've been meaning to write up articles for the third, and fourth games but just haven't gotten around to it. The series does deserve a template box though as I feel it has enough iterations to warrant one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Damnedfan1234 (talk • contribs) 19:32, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy based on the editor's comment. When these additional articles are created, Inzo can move this back to template space. Recommend that Inzo create an article about the series as a whole. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 15:10, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Why do people always manage to misspell my name that way? :(

I presume you mean "Damned" can move back to templatespace, etc, no? --Izno (talk) 15:33, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox country deforestation

Template:Infobox country deforestation (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. (See Deforestation in Democratic Republic of the Congo to understand its apparent purpose as a single-use infobox.) — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:42, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Congo isn't the only country with deforestation problems, Brazil and Haiti are other examples, and we should have these templates to encourage further "deforestation in" articles. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 15:15, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As much as my guy reaction is "urgh, not every type of article needs its own infobox class", the information in this one does seem like a sensible set of factlets to place in a prominent position in articles, and we do have a number of said articles over which is could be deployed. Maybe it just needs to be more widely advertised? Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 10:00, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:WikiProject Texas

Template:WikiProject Texas (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Deprecated, superseded, unused. Can this be converted into some kind of wrapper or redirect? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:21, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for know - It is a wrapper template which redirects to WPUS. I only finished migrating the articles in the last couple weeks and a lot of folks still use the template so I recommend keeping it for a while. In general I recommend keeping all the state templates for now. I am ok with deleting most of the rest. Kumioko (talk) 10:05, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:WikiProject Pennsylvania State University

Template:WikiProject Pennsylvania State University (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Deprecated, superseded. Can this be converted into some kind of wrapper or redirect? Note that there are 172 transclusions, which can be converted with AWB relatively easily (I'll do it if no one else will.) —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:20, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for now - Not all of the articls have been migrated yet. It is a wrapper template that redirects to WPUS. Kumioko (talk) 10:06, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:NBA player

Template:NBA player (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Deprecated, superseded. Several transclusions will require {{beingdeleted}} and some effort. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:18, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, for now. The vast majority of articles still use this one, and I don't think we should rush to start replacing things. There are other things to worry about. (Heck, there are still things that need to be manually fixed because the basketball infoboxes were merged a few months ago.) Zagalejo^^^ 05:52, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This is still used in many articles and {{Infobox NBA biography}}. I don't think this template is deprecated.—Chris!_c/t 04:41, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This template is used in allot of articles and replacing them would be a complete waste of time. By the way, it looks much better than the other medals template. Especially when the article is short (for example: Kęstutis Kemzūra) Pofka 03:30PM, 21 June 2012 (UTC+2)
Keep - Very informative. ⁂†Poison the Well†⁂ (talk) 05:02, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, for now. Not as used as often as the templates above, but I still don't see the point of getting rid of it right away. Such a project shouldn't be a priority for anyone. Zagalejo^^^ 05:52, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Non-free Philippines government

Template:Non-free Philippines government (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

According to two discussions on Commons, Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-PhilippineGov and Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-PhilippinesGov, this template is wrong. Stefan2 (talk) 23:52, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Both commons discussions are rather short and come to unverified conclusions. The reality is we don't know what the Philippines law means and won't until we get some caselaw.©Geni 12:20, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
