{{3di H1}}

This was deemed "useless" by the voters, however, the fact that this template is required by WP:IH was neglected. An IP nominated this, and it received 3 votes for deletion (one unsigned.) --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:25, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

It's still just as useless. This was a single use template with the single purpose of linking from Interstate H-201 back to Interstate H-1, an action better accomplished with a text link - like the one in the first paragraph. This setup makes sense when there is more than one auxiliary route - see Interstate 695 (District of Columbia) for an example - but it is ridiculous on I-H1. --SPUI (T - C) 05:24, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

It's required by WP:IH, and there are other templates that exist like this. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:38, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

• Overturn deletion. This template should be returned because all two-digit Interstate highways that have a child route have a child route template, making I-H1 the only exception. Plus, Interstate 16, like I-H1, has only one child route in its template yet I-16's template has been kept. --TMF 22:46, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep deleted — Could be considered a special case as I-H1 is not exactly two digits. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 03:41, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep deleted — No need for a single-purpose template. older ≠ wiser 15:41, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Please explain why templates such as {{3di 16}} exist then. --TMF 19:26, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Perhaps because some people don't know any better and do dumb things. older ≠ wiser 19:57, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
