*'''Delete''' There already is a Infobox for the exact same category of information. If it needs work, then debate and fix it to be better. The exact point of the infobox is to group consistent sets of information over multiple "related" articles, and not to create new ones for every single article. Note that as a last resort an Infobox can have "optional" arguments for important information that is not relevant to certain other pages. I suggest to Delete, and copy the code to the infobox fraternity talk page so it can be discussed what should and what should not make it into the current Infobox. -] 18:37, 18 April 2006 (UTC) *'''Delete''' There already is a Infobox for the exact same category of information.

Template:City Terminal Zone link (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Content is just the link City Terminal Zone. No inclusions on What Links Here. The content is shorter than the template name, so I doubt it's being actively subst'd. SeventyThree 23:17, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Obsolete disambiguation templates

These are apparently no longer needed, and there is an excessive proliferation of similar-looking and poorly-documented disambiguation templates in Category:Disambiguation and redirection templates. -- Beland 17:49, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Template:Subnational entity

Template:Subnational entity (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Delete -- This bloated template keeps changing its displayed name, currently "Country subdivisions", as each previous incarnation is disputed. It serves no purpose, its contents are already in the related categories, more complete contents already are listified at List of terms for subnational entities, List of subnational entities, and Matrix of subnational entities. It is almost the entire page at Division (subnational entity), and half the page at many other locations. --William Allen Simpson 17:32, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Tournament bracket templates

These templates are part of an earlier cumbersome attempt to generate a tournament bracket. They have been replaced by Template:16TeamBracket, Template:Round16, and some of the other better designed templates listed on Category:Sports templates. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 07:52, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Template:Sigma Chi infobox

Template:Sigma Chi infobox (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Template is only used or possibly useful in Sigma Chi, where it has been replaced by the standardized Template:Infobox fraternity Lanoitarus .:. 06:17, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete unused --William Allen Simpson 17:40, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  • KEEP Firstly, why is there a need for a standardized information box for Fraternities? Secondly, there are things that are important to different fraternities that should be included in the info box. Founders, founding site, etc. I'm voting to keep simply because each fraternity is vastly different and they can't all be combined into one infobox. 4.225.19.135 18:37, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete There have been other fraternity infoboxes such as this which have been deleted. Yes, every fraternity is different, but then again every fraternity has "standard" info like "founders, founding sites, etc.". Info like this is not unique and I fail to see why each fraternity should clutter wiki with their own infoboxes. --† Ðy§ep§ion † 19:19, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Pagrashtak 20:10, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - per nom. Chairman S. 21:44, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Then why don't we look to update the mundane and boring standard fraternity box to include...oh i don't know, things that are actually relevant. Such as names of founders, a box or two for grand officers, principal governing bodies, etc. The Sigma Chi box is pretty informative, the "Standard Infobox" is an uniformative and ugly mess. Why don't we put some real work and thought into it, rather than just deleting one of the better info boxes because "it might clutter wiki with infoboxes." Batman2005 01:09, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom . Batman, if you want to make a better standard box, go ahead. JoshuaZ 01:23, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and replace with standard box. John Reid 17:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Gosh Dysepsion, here I was thinking this was a place for people to put their opinions as basis for keeping or deleting a template. I mean, far be it from me to think that a standard fraternity info box should, you know, provide some information about the fraternity...you know like...founders, colors, flower, coat of arms, and other important things. Guess I'll get to work on one that is better and nominate it as the new standard, in the mean time I won't post more opinions because Dysepsion doesn't like those. Batman2005 20:35, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Batman2005. When you actually try and maintain all fraternity and sorority articles and gaurd them from vandalism/vanity additions and care about the overall integrity of many wiki articles, not just the organization you belong to then feel free to criticize, otherwise keep your sarcasm to yourself. Opinions are what drives deletion pages so try to maintain a sense civility. --† Ðy§ep§ion † 22:44, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Until we actually share DNA † Ðy§ep§ion †, you can refrain from telling me what to do, thanks mom. Additionally, I am a frequent contributor to wikipedia, although I should apologize that I don't live my life through wikipedia as you clearly do. I personally don't care about other fraternities, if I did I would have joined on of those, my point is simply that the standard info box should include more information, SIMILIAR, but not exactly to what the Sigma Chi one includes. But that's ok, i'll make one and nominate it for acceptance, i'm sure you'll show up and vote against it though, so whatever. Batman2005 23:25, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Pardon me? I think you have wikipedia confused with the Sigma Chi website...... Besides this discussion is about the infobox, not about the Sigma Chi entry in general. - The DJ 18:42, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete There already is a Infobox for the exact same category of information. If it needs work, then debate and fix it to be better. The exact point of the infobox is to group consistent sets of information over multiple "related" articles, and not to create new ones for every single article. Note that as a last resort an Infobox can have "optional" arguments for important information that is not relevant to certain other pages. I suggest to Delete, and copy the code to the infobox fraternity talk page so it can be discussed what should and what should not make it into the current Infobox. -The DJ 18:37, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
