August 24
Very few links one of which is already an afd looks to have been nominated for deletion by the creator but for some reason did not make it through to the daily page. Fenix down (talk) 23:18, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
Not everything needs a navbox. — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 23:14, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
- Speedy delete per nominator. We're not gonna wait two or three years for this template to meet the minimum of usefulness (and that's even assuming a new film is in progress). LazyBastardGuy 02:10, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
Unused; undocumented; purpose unclear. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:30, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
- Delete, created back in October 2012 and neglected since. Creator did not specify intentions with template or how it is to be used, and is not likely to return to complete the job. LazyBastardGuy 08:11, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
- Do not delete unless it is superseded in some way. Like the title says, it is a duplicate. The template is fully functional, and can be used when someone wants to create exactly identical lists as the ASI Monument lists, but doesn't want the contents to overwrite the original lists in the monuments database (basically a sandbox or event based list). Please first confirm with User:Karthikndr whether the Indian team intends to use it again this year. effeietsanders 09:21, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
Team went bankrupt in June 2013 and no longer exists. See Beerschot AC article. Pelotastalk|contribs 22:08, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
- Comment - not really sure that's grounds for deletion. It could be amended to say "Last Squad" (forgive me as I have no familiarity whatsoever with this topic), but I don't think deletion is the answer. Former teammates may also be included to "finalize" the template, so to speak, and I say this because there seem to be enough links for the navbox to be usable per WP:NENAN. Also, it's not as if when a band breaks up its template suddenly goes away. LazyBastardGuy 02:12, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
- Template:Infobox Windows component (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Infobox software (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:Infobox Windows component with Template:Infobox software.
Redundant to {{Infobox software}}. We can add to this {{Infobox software}} param 'component_of' and 'included_with'. Rezonansowy (talk • contribs) 20:07, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
- Template:Infobox OS version (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Infobox OS (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:Infobox OS version with Template:Infobox OS.
Redundant to {{Infobox OS}}. We can add a family param as an option. Rezonansowy (talk • contribs) 19:39, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
- Merge There is no place for two templates which do the same job. --Uniwersalista (talk) 21:41, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
- Merge but merge Infobox OS version with Infobox OS rather than the other way around. Longbyte1 (talk) 22:02, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
- Merge. No need for two . Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:34, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
- Merge. We can keep both by forwarding most of arguments further to {{Infobox OS}} and by making it more extensible. — Wizardist t +c 11:01, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
- Template:And? (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Only used in one article, undocumented, other templates that are more clear and more civil could be used instead. GoingBatty (talk) 15:54, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
- Delete as redundant to the templates {{Clarify}}, {{Ambiguous}}, and possibly {{How}}. Although the intended purpose for this template is not clear, it seems that it is already taken by one of these aforementioned templates. It might be better used as a redirect page to a larger-encompassing template in the future. — |J~Pæst| 16:34, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
- Delete. Like JPæst said, it's redundant to several other more specific templates. Also, it's not terribly civil. — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 00:59, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
- Delete, per JPaest (purpose seems unclear) and Cymru (seems mildly impolite). Also seems rather WP:POINTy and suited for use for when one user doesn't think, in their own opinion, that the attempt at substantiating notability is clear (we have processes and templates for that already). It seems to be made for when the material available is insufficient to establish notability, but the tooltip (hover over it for just a moment) says the sources are in question, not the material. Can't seem to make up its mind... LazyBastardGuy 02:17, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
- Have only one team listed.--Mishae (talk) 14:29, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
- Template:Derive (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Etymology (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:Derive with Template:Etymology.
These two serve the same purpose. {{etymology}} seems to be meatier and more robust (uses {{ISO 639 name}}). — Lfdder (talk) 12:53, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
- Template:Infobox micronation (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Infobox country (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:Infobox micronation with Template:Infobox country.
Redundant to {{Infobox country}}. Rezonansowy (talk • contribs) 11:59, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
- Merge. Cleary no need for two templates; the distinction is arbitrary. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:06, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
- Merge - All the functionality of {{Infobox micronation}} could be handled by {{Infobox country}}. TDL (talk) 16:53, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
