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

Template for an artist whose article has been deleted. Nymf _hideliho! 23:40, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Those two songs don't have articles, they just link to albums by other artists on which they appear. The template wouldn't be used in those two articles, which makes it useless. PC78 (talk) 07:10, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete—useless navbox that won't be used on any articles since the artist's article was deleted. –Grondemar 23:57, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Droid models (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant with {{Android devices}} and Droid (disambiguation). It is also a navbox, but formatted as if it were an infobox and put at the top of the page instead of where navboxes belong, at the bottom. It is also basically a mainspace violation of WP:OVERCAT, by making a big deal out of a non-significant and user-unhelpful intersection of random details ("phones with 'Droid' in their names", which is about as pointless as "people who had dinner with Truman Capote" or "countries with more than 100 lakes"). And finally, it is confusing to the average reader, who will not, without a great deal of reading, understand why only some Android phones appear in this list. (NB: This template, until an hour ago, existed as substituted or copy-pasted (and badly written) code in all "Droid" (but not all "Android") phone articles. I pulled it out of all of these articles that I could find, wikified it and otherwise cleaned it up, and replaced the original redundant code blocks with the template in each identified. After I did that, I realized that all of it is actually redundant and should just be deleted, thus this TfD.) — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(^Õل^ō)ˀ Contribs. 18:11, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete G7; it seems that SMcCandlish has created a template by mistake here, when really he/she just meant to delete the code in question (which could have been done without a TfD). (Or just a regular delete if this is deemed too complex for a speedy, although the speedy seems warranted too; there's no real reason for the template to exist, given that it's a navbox for something too specific.) --ais523 17:54, 30 September 2010 (U T C)

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

This template consists of a single word and does absolutely nothing. Used for a single article The Boss Hoss where it can well be omitted. De728631 (talk) 16:35, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Subst and delete per nom. Unless someone would rather clean up that section in the article, in which case just delete. PC78 (talk) 07:13, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Subst and delete—I can't see anyone else ever wanting to use that template. –Grondemar 23:58, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Chefdb name (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Non-notable website, creating a bunch of red links. Just use a normally formatted link if you need to. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 19:32, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Subst and delete Presumably this is based along the lines of {{imdb}}. It seems suspicious that the template's used on tens of articles yet the link is red; if a source is notable enough to use as a matter of course on articles, like IMDB is, I'd rather expect the article to have been created by now (yet nobody's even attempted, with a blank deletion log behind the redlink). The link exists on 48 articles, and the template on 34 articles (i.e. in each case excluding non-article pages), so presumably there are links to the website in question via other means as well. That said, it seems unlikely that the template would need to be used often enough that templating it is useful or worthwhile, especially as its existence gives an impression that the template should be used on all pages about chefs (which seems rather unlikely). It's not TFD's job to decide whether the links in question should be in the articles at all (and it's unclear either way to me); but they don't seem to need or warrant templating, which is probably more confusing than useful in this case. --ais523 17:48, 30 September 2010 (U T C)

Template:Country data Scandinavia (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The template is only used on one article, and there is no useful history in the template itself. If we wanted to use the flag, we can just type [[Image:"etc"]] :| TelCo NaSp Ve :| 05:32, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Doesn't appear to serve any useful purpose as far as I can see, and the user that created it was primarily here to create fake articles in the user space. CT Cooper · talk 15:39, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
