Template:Infobox City Russia (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Old infobox that is redundant to {{Infobox Russian inhabited locality}} and has been deprecated since February 2007. Currently used on just two articles. RL0919 (talk) 23:04, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. Deprecated it is, and as for those two articles, I'll personally make sure they use the proper infobox, but there is absolutely nothing to gain by deleting this template. It is not in the way of anything, and leaving it in place allows to properly show the infoboxes when viewing old histories of articles that used it in the past. A redirect will not achieve the same effect as the parameter set of this template is incompatible with the parameter set of the modern template.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 23:17, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
    • I understand the concern, but if preserving the format of articles in history were a significant barrier to template deletion, then very few templates would actually be deleted. For that matter, changes to existing templates also change their appearance in historical versions. Seems like this is something that needs a technical solution, rather than a good reason to oppose deletion. --RL0919 (talk) 14:48, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • I also understand your position. When an obsolete template stands in a way of a newer version, had never been used on a large scale, or is detrimental in some other way, I'd favor its deletion myself. In this case, however, we have a template occupying space no one claims (and is not likely to claim); it was used fairly extensively in the past, and it does not interfere with anything at all (except for being an eyesore). Since we have no technical solution (which, I agree, would be a great thing to have), I find the deletion totally unnecessary. There is absolutely nothing to gain by deleting it, but there are things to lose, however minor. Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:08, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Spanish city (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant to infobox settlement used in articles like Madrid etc. Box looks bloated and is clearly redundant, there is absolutely no need why this should exist.. Himalayan 17:36, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry. Soon Plastikspork is going to standardise the Spanish municipality articles so he will convert this template first before replacing it, so nothing will be lost. Himalayan 14:18, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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

A template named after the user who created it (User:Aquadeias). A template which such a name is not likely to be of any use on Wikipedia and therefore does not belong in mainspace. IIIVIX (Talk) 10:07, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Userfy. The only use of this is on a sandbox page in Aquadeias' own user space. If that's all it is to be used for, then I don't have a problem with it, but it does not belong in template space. --RL0919 (talk) 15:09, 2 November 2009 (UTC) Update to delete. Upon further inspection of the page this is used on, I realized that the template is redundant to {{Inuse}}, so there is no need for it even in user space. --RL0919 (talk) 23:15, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as nominated. Am concerned that this user may be attempting to set up his own fantasy wiki and is disguising it from deletion by hiding it behind User:. --Falcadore (talk) 19:23, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Old and unused template Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 04:31, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They seem to be unused, and unlikely to be used. Delete. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 09:09, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep All. I am the template creator. While some of these are not used, they could be used temporarily during a season for a short period, and then discarded. The documentation describes this method: Instead of just putting in the 16-week expected length version, someone could start with the 1-week (col) version and then walk-up to the 16-week (col) version. While they may not be currently used, there may be an instance that these are needed in the future. Keeping them, and the entire template system is no harm and seems illogical to delete "random" ones that aren't just currently used, because it would break up the system. It is entirely possible, as well, that all weeks/cols that are plus or minus 1 than currently used templates could be used in the future with calendar weeks getting shuffled and expanding or contracting seasons by a date. MECUtalk 14:43, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment Then why not merge them all into one template and make using the complete number of weeks optional? Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 16:04, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge all from the navtemplate together into one, and actually have some documentation to explain this thing. 65.94.252.195 (talk) 04:02, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into one template as suggested above. The content appears to be relevant, but having a separate template for each week isn't necessary and makes them seem unused, which is apparently what led to the nomination. --RL0919 (talk) 15:45, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete. Five articles is not quite enough links to justify a navbox. New material is still being produced, so it could be recreated in the future if/when there are more links. --RL0919 (talk) 14:12, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
