Template:Mountbatten-Windsor family

Template:Mountbatten-Windsor family (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Only transcluded in one article, Mountbatten-Windsor, in which it is redundant to the section entitled "Male-line descendants of Elizabeth II", which contains links to all of the articles contained in this navigation template. It is probably not included in the articles of its other constituents because it is redundant to the sidebar Template:House of Windsor. Bsherr (talk) 23:54, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:ThailandWeather

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

One transclusion. Substitute and delete. Steel1943 (talk) 23:17, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Has no reason to exist due to its above-mentioned lack of use. Geolodus (talk) 07:17, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Donald Trump infobox and series

Template:Donald Trump infobox and series (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This was created to prevent persistent vandalism of the infobox image. Since that need no longer exists and the template is only transcluded on one page, it serves no purpose. - Mr X 🖋 21:26, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - not the way we stop vandalism, and this should not be supported. --Gonnym (talk) 21:27, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Mentioned this discussion at Talk:Donald Trump. This template was made and used with a consensus to do so and if we don't publicise it, this TfD is effectively backdooring its deletion. See this and this for additional information. Anarchyte (talk | work) 02:43, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – This was a temporary fix; a better solution to combat image vandalism has since been enacted, and has tamed the problem. — JFG ^talk 08:44, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - When this was discussed more than two months ago, I wrote "I would be in favor of a fully protected template for the infobox as a temporary solution. The problem is that admin accounts have been compromised and the template will have far fewer watchers than this article. A solution that addresses the root cause is what we need long term." Other editors echoed that. If there was a consensus, it was weak one, and mainly among admins. - Mr X 🖋 14:18, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Don't need any longer. Sdmarathe (talk) 03:23, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No longer necessary. funplussmart (talk) 22:16, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Can be {{subst}} merged back to Donald Trump now. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:49, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Qinpu

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was speedy delete per criterion G7 by Athaenara. Steel1943 (talk) 20:14, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Qinpu (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Qinpu LS (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Templates with unclear usage potential. The only transclusions of these templates are on a user's subpage. Either move to User:CharlieHuang/Template:Qinpu and User:CharlieHuang/Template:Qinpu LS without leaving redirects (and replace their sole transclusion) or delete. Steel1943 (talk) 18:37, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete away. I've saved all that work I did on it. Charlie Huang 【遯卋山人】 19:05, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I see what you did there: you substituted the only transclusions of {{Qinpu}} and {{Qinpu LS}}, and then blanked the templates. I'll get them tagged for WP:G7 then. Thanks! Steel1943 (talk) 19:28, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Krn-ref

Template:Krn-ref (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template has 1 transclusion as a external referenced section on a page, thus this template is unnecessary. Substitute and delete. Steel1943 (talk) 18:33, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Subst and delete per nom.--Tom (LT) (talk) 00:40, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Subst and delete per nom. Unsuitable as a template. Nigej (talk) 09:44, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Simpsons characters

Template:Simpsons characters (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:The Simpsons (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Simpsons characters with Template:The Simpsons.
{{The Simpsons}} already has a section for "Characters". Not all of those listed on {{Simpsons characters}} are there so obviously those will need to be moved over, but seems like a straightforward obvious merge then redirect. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 17:12, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge - if main template already has a character section, then it should have all characters listed. --Gonnym (talk) 21:15, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed with Gonnym that all articles about one of the characters can be listed. Iggy (Swan) 10:45, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support merge in order to avoid more creations of templates about other sub-categories of the subject. Sdmarathe (talk) 05:39, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lehigh Valley Transit Company templates

Template:Lehigh Valley Transit Company color (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Lehigh Valley Transit Company lines (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Lehigh Valley Transit Company stations (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:S-line/Lehigh Valley Transit Company left/Liberty Bell High Speed Line (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:S-line/Lehigh Valley Transit Company right/Liberty Bell High Speed (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:S-line/Lehigh Valley Transit Company right/Liberty Bell High Speed Line (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

These were mostly redirects to the SEPTA family of S-line templates. I've split them out to Module:Adjacent stations/Lehigh Valley Transit Company. All transclusions replaced. Mackensen (talk) 01:44, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:ADG

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

This specific-source template is for a government gateway which, according to the Wayback Machine, has been permanently down since February 2009, and no replacement site appears to have been built. Delete. Flapjacktastic (talk) 01:14, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, unfortunately, per nom.--Tom (LT) (talk) 00:40, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete maybe until the site is up again. Sdmarathe (talk) 22:17, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
