Template:Pink Friday: The Pinkprint tracks

Template:Pink Friday: The Pinkprint tracks (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

does not meet WP:NMUSIC (see "Unreleased material") Tgeairn (talk) 19:32, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per {{db-g8}}. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 22:15, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete. No reliable sources and generally not useful. Looks to be an end run around creating articles; user has created a number of inappropriate articles for alleged singles, but those contained enough fabricated information that they could be speedy deleted under CSD G3. —C.Fred (talk) 22:45, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Belg2

Template:Belg2 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

generally redundant to {{ill2}}. Frietjes (talk) 15:59, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Afd-teahouse

Template:Afd-teahouse (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I don't think that this template (intended to be displayed atop AfDs) is particularly helpful for new editors participating in AfDs. The Wikipedia:Teahouse page it links contains no immediately apparent advice particularly related to the deletion process. While the Teahouse approach looks worthwhile, if perhaps a bit redundant to other help venues, the template should be omitted as visual clutter. Sandstein 10:18, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm busy this weekend so I'll do a full response later, but two quick points I should make are a) did you consider merging / redirecting with Template:Not a ballot first (being that deletion is, after all, a last resort) and b) newbie SPAs just cause annoyance all round (the newbies because their article still gets deleted, the regulars because the arguments don't cite any policies) without solving any problems (such as improving an article so it doesn't get deleted). If this isn't the solution, what is? Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:41, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A merger is not necessary; the Teahouse can simply be mentioned in {{Not a ballot}}. I don't know whether that's useful, but it can be done independently from this deletion. And a redirect makes little sense because there are very few transclusions. Sandstein 16:11, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Deletion is not cleanup. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:03, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is not about cleanup; the template itself is superfluous. Sandstein 16:11, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

delete, but consider adding a link in {{not a ballot}}. Frietjes (talk) 16:18, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:List of shopping malls in Iloilo

Template:List of shopping malls in Iloilo (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Three working links plus three links to disambig pages which offer no related articles. This navbox is a redlink farm and linked articles are not automatically suitable for inclusion. Per WP:NAVBOX, redlinks should be avoided AND a navigation template with fewer than a handful of links can easily be replaced by "see also". C 679 07:47, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Social 50 number-one acts

Template:Social 50 number-one acts (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

With the four lists linked in this template merged to create one (List of Billboard Social 50 number-one acts), this template is not necessary. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 04:09, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Agreed, a much needed consolidation. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 04:20, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Cinemascape rating

Template:Cinemascape rating (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

was only being used in one article (Postcard (film)). similar templates have been deleted (e.g., Christgau). Frietjes (talk) 01:25, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I created the template and used it on some articles but then removed it after I realised that Cinemascape ratings should not be used in film articles, it is a user-generated content site of reviews by the general public, like rotten tomatoes viewer ratings.

Template:Categorised listing of engineering colleges in Kerala

Template:Categorised listing of engineering colleges in Kerala (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

blanked as redundant to categories, should be either expanded or deleted. Frietjes (talk) 01:14, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
