December 8

Template:High School DxD

Template:High School DxD (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

With only three sub-lists this template isn't really necessary. The characters, light novels and episode lists can all be comfortably accessed from the main High School DxD article. KirtZJ (talk) 15:07, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Template:Infobox academic division

Template:Infobox academic division (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages) (77 6 transclusions)
Template:Infobox university (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages) (19,369 transclusions)

Propose merging Template:Infobox academic division with Template:Infobox university.
A previous TfD to replace Academic Division after replacing instances with the more generic template closed as "no consensus", because some people preferred to insist on a formal merge proposal rather than discuss the merits of the template in question.

It is redundant to the generic template (which already serves for faculties, schools, colleges, and other types of parts of universities, which currently use the AD template).

The parameters unique to the AD template are |canton=, |prefecture=, |region= (the documentation of the University template says |province= is for "all other administrative subdivisions"), |alumni=, and |symbol= (the latter pair are not specific to academic divisions, and may apply to any University or sub-set of one).

Here is an example replacement. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:21, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

I have replaced the transclusions of the AD template which do not use the parameters listed above. Further investigation shows that |symbol= is unused. |alumni= is used in the remaining six transclusions, but its meaning is not clear (one is footnoted "The number of living alumni as of the year 2012"; others not, and most are uncited).

Ban enforcement request
Administrator help needed
When help has been offered, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

The user Pigsonthewing is banned from discussing the removal of infoboxes. Merging the two as he proposes would result in one of them getting removed. Please enforce the ban, thanks. Link to the relevant ArbCom decision: https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Infoboxes#Remedies 24.53.32.12 (talk) 12:09, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

The topic banned user now called my request a comedy interlude. Please admonish him for his inappropriate behavior in addition to enforcing the ban with a 1-month block. 24.53.32.12 (talk) 15:11, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Template:Russia Squad 1999 UEFA Futsal Championship (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Per WP:NENAN - fewer than five blue links excluding the parent article . Not a useful aid to navigation at the moment. Fenix down (talk) 11:33, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Template:Milwaukie neighborhoods

Template:Milwaukie neighborhoods (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Navbox listing neighborhoods of a small city with no hope of being notable enough for articles. The one neighborhood with any chance of notability, Lewelling, Milwaukie, Oregon was deleted via PROD today. I've rescued dozens of articles about small towns and neighborhoods, so am not a deltionist on these topics, but I have no hope for expansion of these. All can be written about in the primary topic, Milwaukie, Oregon, therefore no navbox is needed. Valfontis (talk) 00:50, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
