Comment: Template says it is to be subst'ed..., so we dont know how many times its been used. --Admrboltz (talk) 22:23, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It falls under the category of Wikipedia humor. --vgmddg (look | talk | do) 03:34, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, or userfy on request. Not all humor need be retained. --Bsherr (talk) 00:42, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not recently used and I don't think it is humor that needs to be retained.--NortyNort (Holla) 10:32, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Tied into Wikipedia:WikiWar which looks headed for deletion. If that gets deleted, this can be deleted via G8. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 17:10, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or possible userfy into User:The Arbiter/WikiHate or elsewhere. This doesn't quite mesh with the WP:WikiLove philosophy. I don't see how it could be helpful. -- œ ^™ 02:34, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unused. Purpose totally and utterly unclear. The creator is blocked, so won't be able to help explain this. — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:00, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The purpose was to highlight code changes when making edit requests, like this. However, I believe this can be safely deleted. 134.253.26.9 (talk) 18:15, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Not used. The functionality is accomplished by {{WebSlice-begin}} and {{WebSlice-end}}. This one takes the content as a parameter, but a Web Slice is most likely not useful if it is short enough to be passed as a parameter.

No need for template. Most links link back to List of county roads in Brevard County, Florida, or other state roads, not county roads. Admrboltz (talk) 00:17, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Per WP:NENAN, I do not think a template like this would be needed either. --Admrboltz (talk) 16:04, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, in USRD, we generally only make a county template when we are creating a Good or Featured topic. --Admrboltz (talk) 19:47, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per FieldMarine, although since it will probably be renamed a well as being rewitten, that's kinda "Delete" in a way. Rich Farmbrough, 02:27, 18th day of January in the year 2011 (UTC).

Delete. With the list and the category, I expect the navigation box isn't needed. Common geography here doesn't seem compelling enough a commonality to warrant a navigation box. --Bsherr (talk) 05:31, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Unused. Discussion took place in December 2006. Use of this template could be misleading; indeed, it warns us not to use it.

Where are comments deleted at XfDs? I can't say I've ever seen it at RfD, MfD or here at TfD. Surely if a comment is so inappropriate that it needs to be deleted, then providing a diff link (or even acknowledging its existence) defeats the purpose of deleting it? — This, that, and the other (talk) 06:14, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Bio-context (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

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

Propose merging Template:Bio-context with Template:Context.
No need to single out biographical articles in this regard. Such is done only in relation to templates asking for sources, because of the more serious considerations when a biographical article is unsourced, but such is not the practice with all the other maintenance templates. In addition this template is being used only on two articles, while Template:Context is in use on thousands of articles. Debresser (talk) 15:34, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 21:55, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to merge target, since no merge seems necessary. The nominated template does not have a unique categorization scheme, so the differentiation is limited to the message and the ability to track its transclusions. But its lack of use, and the added complexity of identifiying article for cleanup by retaining it, render its redirection preferable. --Bsherr (talk) 00:48, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 21:55, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree - When G.E.M. releases more albums, singles, films etc this template will have to be recreated, therefore there is no point in deleting and when i have time i will create more related articles (e.g. My Secret, Hummingbird Muisc, Trick or Treat and separate pages)Chingster (talk) 21:30, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Then wait until they do release more albums, singles, etc. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 17:11, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest userfying so Chingster may have access to the template's code when G.E.M. releases more content. Until then, it should be deleted from the template namespace as per the nomination. Airplaneman ✈ 03:39, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
