Template:Northwest Conference (Iowa)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was Keep. The reasoning given for "keep" is sound, but that for "delete" isn't. The fact that the conference no longer exists is no reason for deleting information about it, any more than the fact that Julius Caesar's dead is a reason to delete the article about him.

Template:Northwest Conference (Iowa) (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The Northwest Conference is defunct. All teams in conference have moved to other leagues . Vycl1994 (talk) 23:14, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

  • Keep. Provides a useful historic reference for a former conference. It would be nice if the redlinked articles were created, but nonetheless this template provides valuable and enyclopedic navigational capabilities. I added the word "defunct" in parentheses to the template, so it's clear the conference no longer exists. CaseyPenk (talk) 16:32, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Template:Bloody days (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Navigation template without real use, only linking to other completely unrelated bloody days and not to any "real" articles. Earlier removed in 2007. The Banner talk 22:06, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

I suppose this might be of use to someone trying to look up an event who remembers it was dubbed bloody and named for a day of the week, but doesn't remember which day of the week. Such a reader who can manage to get "1969 northe" or "2008 finan" into the search box would have an easier time of it than one who relies on this template and the lists of bloody events.

The result of the discussion was merge Plastikspork ―Œ 20:16, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Template:Infobox indian current (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Infobox typhoon current (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Infobox hurricane current (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Infobox indian current and Template:Infobox typhoon current with Template:Infobox hurricane current.
These 3 templates do the exact same job in conveying the latest forecast information from the warning centres, as a result i propose that they get merged together and under the name of infobox hurricane current or infobox cyclone current since they are redundant to each other.

  • Comment exactly what was the outcome? Are we to suffer geographic bias by preferring Caribbean topical storm name, or do we have a neutral name? -- 65.92.181.39 (talk) 02:09, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
    • Does it really matter if it we supposedly "suffer geographic bias" by preferring a name that is used full time in 2/7 basins and has been used before now to describe systems in the Southern Pacific and elsewhere.Jason Rees (talk) 03:34, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was delete, seems to be a very simple single use template, so the idea that there is code clutter is hard to follow here, especially since it isn't even used in animal (used in animacy, which is a different subject). Plastikspork ―Œ 23:22, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Template:ISO639 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

A macro from 2009 that's not seen any use. — Lfdder (talk) 11:29, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

We don't need a template just to type out "ISO 639-1 language code" for us. — Lfdder (talk) 22:09, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
  • IMO, the template should not be transcluded on disambiguation pages. WP:MOSDAB#Images and templates pretty clearly discourages such use. The current language makes even substituting the template dubious as the form is not typical for a disambiguation page entry. It's value elsewhere seems dubious. older ≠ wiser 23:03, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete does this do anything except provide boilerplate text? It doesn't seem to. If it converted an ISO 639 code to its equivalent name, or vice versa, that'd be useful. (and half replicate some of the other templates) -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 02:56, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
    • The use of boilerplate text is one way of providing consistency across articles of a similar type (referring to the archived discussion link I provided under FYI above). --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 13:47, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Template:Capital Line (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Delete unused template with test edits. Probably created to replace an existing navbox, diagram, or list, the creator hasn't been very vocal about his proposed changes. 117Avenue (talk) 07:16, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Template:ETS LRT route should only show the basic layout, while individual line diagrams (like this one) should have the "fine" details such as crossings, adjacent tracks, etc. Useddenim (talk) 01:58, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
"Should" according to what? This hasn't been mentioned on Talk:Edmonton Light Rail Transit, and there is no mention on Talk:Capital Line. All this is is a list of stations, which can be found at Capital Line#Stations. 117Avenue (talk) 06:41, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

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

Delete this is functioning as a reference template using wikipedia as a reference, which isn't allowed per WP:RS. Instead all instance of this template should be replaced by the talk page template {{translated}}, and moved from the article page to the talk page. 76.65.128.222 (talk) 03:21, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
