[edit]

January 2022

[edit]
  1. File:English-slf2.PNG: (log) nominated at FfD; notified LiquidFire (talk · contribs) 21:42, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Delete. Unused/orphaned raster image that does not appear to have been used as a source to create a vector image that contains the same information. In other words, it is not needed for attribution purposes.
  2. File:2021 Warisan Party flag-01.svg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Sumberjaya2014 (talk · contribs) 21:43, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Does not seem to be appear to be simple enough to qualify as {{PD-text}}, support relicensing.

February 2022

[edit]
  1. File:RomanianPassportVisaFree.PNG: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Groubani (talk · contribs) 00:54, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Support deletion: unused raster image that was not used to create the corresponding vector image and thus is not needed for attribution purposes
  2. File:SQ-RBF graph no range.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Rrshier (talk · contribs) 04:10, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Support deletion - orphaned, and was created with WolframAlpha which claims copyright over anything it creates. From its terms of use, "The specific images, such as plots, typeset formulas, and tables, as well as the general page layouts, are all copyrighted by Wolfram|Alpha at the time Wolfram|Alpha generates them. A great deal of scholarship and innovation is included in the results generated and displayed by Wolfram|Alpha, including the presentations, collections, and juxtapositions of data, and the choices involved in formulating and composing mathematical results; these are also protected by copyright."
  3. File:ReferendumAgeScatter.JPG: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Lilac Soul (talk · contribs) 16:41, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Support deletion - unused raster image that was not used to create the corresponding vector image and thus is not needed for attribution purposes
  4. File:Iraq CPA.PNG: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Dn9ahx (talk · contribs) 17:25, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Support deletion - orphaned raster image that was not used to create the corresponding vector image and thus is not needed for attribution purposes.
  5. File:Plutonian-system-size.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Hurricane Devon (talk · contribs) 13:17, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Support deletion - unused raster image that was not used to create the corresponding vector image and thus is not needed for attribution purposes
  6. File:MICR numerals and control characters.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Scott Sanchez (talk · contribs) 18:16, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Support deletion - unused raster image that was not used to create the corresponding vector image and thus is not needed for attribution purposes

March 2022

[edit]
  1. File:Stirling's Approximation.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Usurper~enwiki (talk · contribs) 19:38, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Support deletion - orphaned raster image not used to create the corresponding vector image and thus is not needed for attribution purposes.
  2. File:Otagoflag.gif: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Grutness (talk · contribs) 03:55, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
  3. File:Optillusionsci.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Latitude0116 (talk · contribs) 13:54, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Support deletion - orphaned raster image not used to create the corresponding vector image and thus is not needed for attribution purposes.
  4. File:Pencil manufacture.png: (log) nominated at FfD 15:13, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Orphaned raster image that was not used to create the corresponding vector image and thus is not needed for attribution purposes.
  5. File:Italian Colonial Empire.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified VoodooIsland (talk · contribs) 00:42, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Support deletion - orphaned raster image that was not used to create the corresponding vector image and thus is not needed for attribution purposes.
  6. File:PershingWWIRibs.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Husnock (talk · contribs) 15:21, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Support deletion - Orphaned raster image that was not used to create the corresponding vector image and thus is not needed for attribution purposes

April 2022

[edit]
  1. File:Dot af.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Bluedisk (talk · contribs) 16:15, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This file was a revision of File:Dotaf.png. As this file was overwritten by a completely different file, it was split into a seperate file. At first glance, to me it appeared pixelated enough that it is not {{PD-textlogo}}, and thus should be deleted per WP:F5. However, after performing the HISTSPLIT, Graeme Bartlett suggested that this image might qualify for {{PD-textlogo}}, and now I am undecided if the image is nonfree or not. Nominating this here to seek consensus as to if it should be deleted. It is orphaned, so if nonfree, it needs to be deleted.
  2. File:FAMET ensign.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Ebnz~enwiki (talk · contribs) 20:01, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Support deletion - orphaned raster image that was not used as a source for the corresponding vector image and thus is not needed for attribution purposes.

May 2022

[edit]
  1. File:IBMbuckling.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Verdatum (talk · contribs) 15:55, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Orphaned raster image that was not used to create the corresponding vector image and thus is not needed for attribution purposes. The vector image is based off of the patent drawing, not this image.
  2. File:CameronMcKay.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Burlingtondude (talk · contribs) 00:09, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Support deletion - orphaned, no obvious use as the article on Cameron McKay was deleted.
  3. File:Raid 0+1.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Paulish (talk · contribs) 13:22, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Orphaned raster image that was not used to create the corresponding vector image and thus is not needed for attribution purposes (note that the svg file was uploaded before this raster version).
  4. File:Staggered EclipsedS.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Chem540grp7f08 (talk · contribs) 14:10, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Support deletion - orphaned raster image that was not used to create the corresponding vector image and thus is not needed for attribution purposes.
  5. File:The O2 (London) logo.svg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified BaldBoris (talk · contribs) 18:29, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Support deletion - dePROD'd as "this is not the O2 logo, but the O2 Arena logo." However, the source for this file is a dead link, and the archived link does not contain a copy of this image—I was unable to find this version of the logo anywhere online. This image is orphaned and redundant to this image of the actual O2 arena logo.

June 2022

[edit]
  1. File:Hess' cycle.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Wolfmankurd (talk · contribs) 23:54, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
  2. Abadan, Farhangian sector: nominated at AfD; notified محمد سلطانی1 (talk · contribs) 17:24, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: A BEFORE search does not turn up any coverage, let alone significant coverage. There are some sources in the Persian Wikipedia version of the article, but they did not appear to meet SIGCOV. As a populated place without legal recognition, it is not presumed notable under WP:GEOLAND.
  3. File:ChrKaufmannFührerbuch.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified P.dreher (talk · contribs) 00:38, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Image was dePROD'd because the Document’s author is 80 years old {{PD-old-80}} applies. I do not disagree. However, this is a 3D picture, and there is no evidence that the photograph (of the public domain book) is released under a free license. Because this photo depicts something 3D it does not qualify for {{PD-art}}.
  4. File:AEW Blackpool.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Vjmlhds (talk · contribs) 00:47, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Support deletion—uploader has tagged this image as {{PD-textlogo}}. I do not believe that the image is below the threshold of originality. Orphaned, so would fail WP:F5 if relicensed to nonfree.

July 2022

[edit]
  1. William Palmer (sculptor): nominated at AfD; notified Stephencdickson (talk · contribs) 20:37, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Does not appear to be notable per WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, or WP:CREATIVE. A WP:BEFORE search did not turn up any more SIGCOV sources. Given the only source is the single source currently in the article, there are not "multiple sources" as required by the aforementioned guidelines.
  2. Jupiter Station: nominated at AfD; notified SN495 (talk · contribs) 00:01, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: A BEFORE search did not turn up anything beyond the job listings/database records/etc. that you always find for companies. Fails GNG and NORG.
  3. List of Filipino representatives at international male beauty pageants: nominated at AfD; notified Garcia.rock97 (talk · contribs) 00:27, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

September 2022

[edit]
  1. File:Particle chart Log.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD 17:03, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Orphaned raster image redundant to the corresponding vector image and thus is not needed for attribution purposes (they were created by the same author, so there are no copyright issues. In any case, this is not listed as a source on the vector image's description page).
  2. New Testament translations with the name of God: nominated at AfD; notified Jairon Levid Abimael Caál Orozco (talk · contribs) 15:44, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
  3. Zenith Canada Pathways Fellowship: nominated at AfD; notified RabidTuberculosis (talk · contribs) 15:07, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: No SIGCOV sources are in the article, and I was unable to find any elsewhere. There are some trivial mentions (e.g.,[1] [2]). That last one, in particular, states that this organization exists and that someone is one of their fellows.
  4. File:Platform Side2e.JPG: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Djm1279 (talk · contribs) 23:49, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Orphaned raster image that was not used to create the corresponding vector image and thus is not needed for attribution purposes.
  5. The 6 non-parishable foods of the Oregon Trail: nominated at RfD; Target: Oregon Trail (notified) 22:38, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: User:BobKilcoyne tagged this for speedy deletion, which was converted into a PROD by User:BangJan1999. However, PROD does not apply to redirects, so I am bringing this here. I support BobKilcoyne's rationale for deletion: "the original article/comments appears to lack any sensible purpose, it is an extremely unlikely search term to be used, it incorporates the destination redirect title within the redirect and includes a spelling error".
  6. File:CT-WEX-0030.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Xiong (talk · contribs) 17:27, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Appears to have been uploaded for use in a tutorial, but we are not a guide. Orphaned with no foreseeable encyclopedic use.
  7. Template:GFDL-tutorialCT: nominated at TfD; notified Xiong (talk · contribs) 21:42, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

October 2022

[edit]
  1. Luis López (footballer, born 2001): nominated at AfD; notified OwainAFC (talk · contribs) 15:54, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: BEFORE does not turn up any SIGCOV, results such as this are about a different person with the same name. Furthermore, this article does not meet the fifth bullet point of WP:SPORTBASIC, as it is a database entry.
  2. World Neighbors: nominated at AfD; notified Worldneighbors (talk · contribs) 22:30, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: I was unable to find any SIGCOV in non-routine sources, and the current article is a massive advertisement. Does not appear to meet GNG or NCORP.

December 2022

[edit]
  1. Template:Db-x1: nominated at TfD; notified Plad02 (talk · contribs) 03:06, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: We delete obsolete CSD templates regularly (1, 2, 3, 4). This should be deleted for consistency, yes. But more importantly, this template explicitly calls out a real, living person for his mistakes. Of all the former CSD templates, this one should absolutely be a red link.

2023

[edit]

January 2023

[edit]
  1. Template:Lan: nominated at TfD; notified Ultraexactzz (talk · contribs) 23:32, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Another Neelix-specific template. No reason to autofill a delete rationale with a repealed CSD criterion.
  2. Archangelia: nominated at RfD; Target: Pteridinium (notified); notified Rugoconites Tenuirugosus (talk · contribs) 20:54, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: No mention at target, and a google search for the name says it is either a girl's name or an herb. I could not find any English sources relating "Archangelia" to Pteridinium. As such, recommend retargeting to angelica archangelica, as that appears to be the more common meaning in English. I could also see dabifying, given that one of the two incoming links appears to have a Russian source that would support the current target (I do not consider this source above because it does contribute to the English WP:COMMONNAME).

February 2023

[edit]
  1. Gridiron Heights: nominated at AfD; notified Ghost Arcade official (talk · contribs) 03:03, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Does not appear to be notable. The only independent/non-trivial mention I could find in a BEFORE search was [3]. While this is not a trivial mention, it does not confirm much about the show other than its existence and the release schedule.
  2. United Britain Party: nominated at AfD; notified Natean (talk · contribs) 18:31, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not seeing any coverage (let alone significant coverage). Googling "United Britain Party" -wikipedia literally returns No results found for "United Britain Party" -wikipedia.. The only mention I can find is their own (Google Sites!) website, which obviously is not helpful for GNG purposes.
  3. File:The Saturday Press.gif: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Postdlf (talk · contribs) 23:53, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
  4. Talk:São Paulo/Arch nosig: nominated at MfD; notified SanJuanBlackED45458 (talk · contribs) 03:31, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

March 2023

[edit]
  1. Rodshir Dailë: nominated at AfD; notified Marcelus.arnault (talk · contribs) 19:05, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Does not appear to be notable. I was able to find an (obviously non-independent) interview, and some (either likely or confirmed) self-written bios on websites where you can purchase his artwork (e.g., [4][5][6]).

April 2023

[edit]
  1. File:Gwinnett County Seal.svg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Gujamin (talk · contribs) 20:51, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The copyright tag on this image is only valid for works by the US Federal Government, not from individual states (such as Georgia). I also believe it is slightly above TOO, so I support deletion.
  2. Talk:Bethesda Lutheran Communities/Archive 2: nominated at MfD; notified David morstad (talk · contribs) 00:13, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This is essentially a talkpage of an old version of AbleLight (see this comparison; note that one of the differences is the "See Also" section is duplicated). Very unlikely search term, so no reason to redirect it. Finally, we do not need to keep this for historical purposes: we already have page history to keep old versions of pages.
  3. Talk:Childcare/merge: nominated at MfD; notified Seraphimblade (talk · contribs) 20:44, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Content was meant to be merged into Child care, but never was as it describes a specific, niche evidence-based curriculum. I see no reason to keep it around as an archive of old content.
  4. Talk:Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1/Old cast list with references: nominated at MfD; notified Tony Sidaway (talk · contribs) 22:10, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This was created as an archive of an old cast list in the main article that was largely removed in this edit. However, we already have an archive of the old cast list in the form of page history. I believe this should be deleted by the same logic that underlies WP:COPIES: having forked content lying around is a slight net negative to the encyclopedia, which is easily overcome by the fork having some use, no matter how remote. This one does not, and thus should be deleted.

May 2023

[edit]
  1. Talk:Australian ghost shark/Temp: nominated at MfD 19:50, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Was initially created as vandalism, and was never used to rewrite the article.

June 2023

[edit]
  1. Proposed expungements of the impeachments of Donald Trump: nominated at AfD; notified SecretName101 (talk · contribs) 22:52, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: A mixture of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NOTCRYSTAL. The second point in NOTNEWS states that "routine news coverage of announcements... while sometimes useful, is not by itself a sufficient basis for inclusion of the subject of that coverage". I would consider all of the reporting in reliable sources I could locate about this effort to be coverage of the latest antics of MTG and the divisions between House Republicans. If it turns out to be a nothingburger, which appears likely, it certainly will not pass the WP:10YT. I can see a case for draftifying the article, to be moved back to mainspace if the proposed expungement actually takes place.

July 2023

[edit]
  1. File:19872961-DeadEarth-Players-Handbook-Illustrated.pdf: (log) nominated at FfD 01:36, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Support deletion – only available under the GFDL, which is no longer an acceptable license per WP:NOMOREGFDL. Note: F3 does not apply to GFDL v1.3 (for some reason?), otherwise I would have nominated it there.

August 2023

[edit]
  1. File:Crop5.JPG: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Mrdjsk (talk · contribs) 03:42, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Putting this up for discussion rather than PROD in the hopes this gets more attention – a source has been specified, but it is a permanently dead link (archive.org only has this dead archive link, and I was unable to find anything else relevant). No way to tell that it was released under the given license, but maybe someone will be able to successfully find the source in some corner of the internet?
  2. File:PowerPoint logo (tattoo on lower leg).jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified DeKalb (talk · contribs) 03:40, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

September 2023

[edit]
  1. Category:Wikipedia article talk pages incorporating the backwardscopy template: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Wikipedia article talk pages incorporating the backwards copy template 22:29, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
  2. Category:Candidates for uncontroversial speedy deletion: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Candidates for technical speedy deletion; notified HJ Mitchell (talk · contribs) 21:52, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: All speedy deletion is supposed to be "uncontroversial", so the category name as it currently stands is both redundant and undescriptive. "Technical deletion" is what G6 is called over at WP:G6, but I would be open to other names if someone has a better idea.

October 2023

[edit]
  1. Rossella Cardone: nominated at AfD; notified Michele Califano (talk · contribs) 20:27, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: While there appear to be more sources in Italian than English, I am not convinced that this woman meets NBIO or the GNG. Sources in the article are either her LinkedIn profile or just contain statements she gave to the press (e.g. [7][8]). I was able to find an interview and other trivial mentions (e.g. [9][10]), but not SIGCOV.
  2. Preemptive services: nominated at AfD; notified Michele Califano (talk · contribs) 20:34, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
  3. Category:Articles using Template:Background color with invalid colour combination: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Articles using Template:Background color with invalid color combination 20:44, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per the name of the template, use American English.

November 2023

[edit]
  1. List of Filipino representatives at international male beauty pageants: nominated at AfD; notified Garcia.rock97 (talk · contribs) 16:07, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: information Note: Wikishovel (ping) left me a note on my talk page that this article was recreated. Given I previously nominated this article for deletion, I consider this appropriate notification per WP:APPNOTE as Editors who have participated in previous discussions on the same topic (or closely related topics).
      With that out of the way, my reasoning for deletion is the same as it was a year ago (it was soft deleted at said discussion):

      Per WP:NOT#Non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations, we do not host people from ethnic / cultural / religious group X employed by organization Y. No evidence that this is a culturally significant phenomenon.

  2. Template:Fair use candidate from Commons: nominated at TfD 05:14, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Appears to have been created by a now-SanFranBanned user in 2011 for a bot task which was never approved. No transclusions.
  3. Category:People educated at Licensed Victuallers' School: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:People educated at LVS Ascot; notified Timrollpickering (talk · contribs) 19:49, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Procedural nomination on behalf of User:Uhooep for a category that was listed at CfD but not properly tagged. Their rationale was as follows:

      LVS Ascot is the current name of the school which was formerly known as formerly known as Licensed Victuallers' School. I erroneously thought that doing a manual transfer across followed by a redirect would be ok - apologies.

December 2023

[edit]
  1. Template:Cc-sa: nominated at TfD; notified MartinHarper (talk · contribs) 23:13, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: (I realize that this template has been nominated for deletion previously, but I believe I have a new argument and it has been five years since the last nomination.)
      This license template is currently unused, and that is a good thing. It only permits reuse under the terms of this exact license, which was deprecated after 1.5 years of existence in May 2004. Not only has it been deprecated for close to 20 years now, but it was deprecated for lack of use. The small (and I mean very small) number of files that are truly licensed under CC SA can be uploaded at Commons and tagged with Commons:Template:Cc-sa-1.0. But hosting a local version does much more harm than good: we should not be encouraging people to use this license, and eliminated a potential source of confusion is also a good thing (I would consider myself fairly well-versed in CC/copyright stuff, and I was certainly confused when I saw this in Category:Creative Commons copyright templates).
      Finally, I would note that there are plenty of other more recent examples of CC licenses we do not host a local template for; we have 27 CC license templates against Commons' 213. Examples: c:Template:Cc-by-sa-3.0-fr (23,904 uses at Commons), c:Template:Cc-by-sa-3.0-es (42,266 uses at Commons), c:Template:Cc-by-sa-3.0-de (566,804 uses at Commons). For comparison, {{cc-sa}} is used zero (0) times locally and 4,449 times at Commons.
  2. Category:Wikipedia essays (arts): nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Wikipedia essays about works of art; notified Gonnym (talk · contribs) 03:39, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This seems to be the only subcat of Category:Wikipedia essays to use a parenthetical descriptor. Most (but not all) are titled Category:Wikipedia essays about foobar. However, I would be open to other names (which is why I am bringing this here as opposed to WP:C2C).
  3. Category:Afromorus: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Cs california (talk · contribs) 17:03, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
  4. Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria: nominated at RM; New name: Franz Ferdinand 01:32, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: WP:SOVEREIGN says that Article titles are not normally prefixed with "King", "Queen", "Emperor" or equivalent and Only use a territorial designation (e.g. country) when disambiguation is needed.
  5. Category:Fair use vehicle images: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Non-free vehicle images 20:36, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
  6. Category:Fair use images of art: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Non-free images of art 20:39, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
  7. Category:Fair use images of event posters: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Non-free images of event posters 20:41, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
  8. Category:Fair use images of rocket launch posters: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Non-free images of rocket launch posters 20:41, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
  9. Category:Fair use images of the International Chopin Piano Competition posters: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Non-free images of the International Chopin Piano Competition posters 20:42, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
  10. Category:Fair use images of film festival posters: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Non-free images of film festival posters 20:43, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
  11. Category:Fair use images of sports posters: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Non-free images of sports posters 20:45, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
  12. Category:Fair use images of film posters: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Non-free images of film posters 20:47, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

  20. File:The Guardian al-Qaeda recruitment.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Ottre (talk · contribs) 21:03, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: I am not seeing how this image meets WP:NFCC8. The Guardian is not being discussed in the article (Al-Qaeda), and even if it were I fail to see why a quote would not suffice.

  22. Template:FoP-NL: nominated at TfD; notified Alexis Jazz (talk · contribs) 04:59, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Orphaned bespoke restriction tag. I believe User:Alexis Jazz created this tag to avoid posting on Commons, but now that the relevant image has been moved to Commons I see no reason to keep a local copy (which only discourages uploading free files to Commons).
  23. Category:Wikipedia files moved to Wikimedia Commons which could not be deleted: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Wikipedia files moved to Wikimedia Commons which should not be deleted; notified Stifle (talk · contribs) 12:50, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The files in this category could be deleted, it is just that they shouldn't be deleted.

  29. Category:Images that survived replaceablity discussions: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Images that survived replaceability discussions 17:57, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

[edit]

January 2024

[edit]
  1. Sikander Bizenjo: nominated at AfD; notified Inthejungle32 (talk · contribs) 00:09, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: I am sensitive to WP:SYSTEMICBIAS and take no pleasure in nominating this page for deletion. However, I am just not finding SIGCOV; I was unable to find any sources of note not already in the article. I also am suspicious of an article with this "awards and recognitions" section. There are two alumni awards, but schools love to hype up their alumni accomplishments. The Global Gurus do not have a Wikipedia page.
  2. Balochistan Youth Action Committee: nominated at AfD; notified Tribal Explorer (talk · contribs) 00:39, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Like the article about the committee's co-founder, I am not seeing SIGCOV. There is one promising source in the article, which turns out to have this line at the bottom: Mujtaba Javaid is a freelance writer. All information and facts provided are the sole responsibility of the writer. Hardly a RS. I recognize there could be some WP:SYSTEMICBIAS going on here, I am always skeptical of promotionally-worded articles about organizations.
  3. Template:Static row numbers no rank: nominated at TfD; notified The RedBurn (talk · contribs) 01:03, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: At this talk page discussion (that is, the talk page of a related template), User:Jroberson108 aptly called this template like someone buying pre-peeled, repackaged bananas. It contains the following wikitext: class="static-row-numbers-norank " style="". It has no transclusions, and would not save any time if it were used.
  4. Justin Dunnavant: nominated at AfD; notified MagalyGS (talk · contribs) 22:05, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
  5. Category:Nobility from Japan: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Japanese nobility; notified 田中まさこ (talk · contribs) 02:02, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not sure what the difference between these two categories is?
  6. Nicholas II of Russia: nominated at RM; New name: Nicholas II 23:04, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
  7. Mary II of England: nominated at RM; New name: Mary II 03:07, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: WP:SOVEREIGN says we should avoid the "of England" dab if it is not needed, and it is fairly clear she is the primary topic for the term. I am on the fifth page of Google results before I get anything other than her.
  8. Sneha Club: nominated at AfD; notified Hunkinghunk (talk · contribs) 02:42, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
  9. Circular RNA databases and resources: nominated at AfD; notified Zhxq09 (talk · contribs) 02:56, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: An egregious WP:NOTREPOSITORY violation. At best a WP:MADRENAME to a new external links section in circular RNA, but this would be a WP:COSTLY redirect per WP:PANDORA: we shouldn't have the expectation that REPOSITORY-esque redirects exist to the "external links" section of a given article.

[edit]
  1. Category:Songs from television series: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Songs written for television series; notified Jerry Pepsi (talk · contribs) 01:07, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
  2. Category:GA-Class vital articles in Biology: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Bearcat (talk · contribs) 02:19, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Given the target category literally begins with the title of this page, I am not seeing how this is a useful category redirect?
  3. W43BR: nominated at AfD; notified Toast72yes (talk · contribs) 04:00, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not finding SIGCOV of any type for this page. This dispute is the only non-database information I could find on the subject, and one FCC filing is not helpful for WP:N purposes.
  4. Template:Sorting row: nominated at TfD; notified Guarapiranga (talk · contribs) 02:29, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Redundant to {{Sort under}}. They work in different ways, so a redirect is not possible. However, this version just has fewer features.
  5. Category:Songs from films: nominated at CfD (CfD) 01:00, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: The target category (Category:Songs written for films) has a very different scope, to the point that I think this redirect is problematic. Namely, people might reasonably put a song in this category because it was in some film at one point, only for it to be recategorized as if it was written for the film.

  1. Talk:Neural network (machine learning): nominated at RM; New name: Artificial neural network 23:31, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
  2. Template:Import-blanktable: nominated at RfD; Target: Template:Row hover highlight (notified); notified Krinkle (talk · contribs) 16:09, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: This template was merged to {{row hover highlight}} after Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2022 July 4#Template:Import-blanktable. During the course of the merger, consensus was reached (discussion) to no longer support the class name used by this template as it was unintuitive (these templates work by enabling a css class to be used on a table). Therefore, I see this as a costly redirect given that the functionality previously provided by this template no longer works, and it is not a likely search term (did you guess that "import-blanktable" has anything to do with cursor highlights?). Nothing was actually merged from this template to the new one, so it is not needed for attribution purposes.
  3. Template:OW: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Template:Older warnings 22:09, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Expand template name per WP:TPN. Thanks,

[edit]
  1. Wikipedia:Voting for busy beavers: nominated at MfD; notified Incnis Mrsi (talk · contribs) 02:42, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: I don't even remember how I came across this essay, but I am a little dumbfounded by it. It advocates for keeping a list of trusted contributors (called the "White List") and a group of not trusted contributors (called the "Black List"). It then calls for !voting on RfAs/RfBs/RfCs based on how they were supported by people on the "White List"/"Black List", without considering the merits of the candidate/issue. If you are so busy that you cannot consider a proposal/candidate on the merits, ignore the discussion. Don't !vote a certain way because of how people on your "White List"/"Black List" !voted.
      I don't necessarily think this needs deletion, but it certainly needs userfication.
  2. Category:Pointers to NRHP tools: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Pointers to National Register of Historic Places tools 21:36, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
  3. Category:People with acquired Guyanese citizenship: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified MonFrontieres (talk · contribs) 23:39, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
  4. Template:DetailsLink: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Template:Details link 15:06, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Use proper English capitalization per WP:TPN
  5. Category:Citizens of Hungary through descent: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:People with acquired Hungarian citizenship; notified Crowsus (talk · contribs) 16:10, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
  6. Category:Categories needing manual work before deletion: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Categories needing manual work after a discussion; notified Armbrust (talk · contribs) 20:35, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: not all categories here will be deleted; some are just being purged.
  7. Category:Citizens of Indonesia through descent: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:People with acquired Indonesian citizenship; notified KiDont508 (talk · contribs) 20:38, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
  8. Category:Disney animation songs: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Disney songs; notified Kanghuitari (talk · contribs) 17:51, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Only contains one redirect (Der Fuehrer's Face (song)). Upmerge for now; unhelpful for navigation. I have purposefully left out the other two parent categories as merge targets: Der Fuehrer's Face (a cartoon that I would highly recommend you watch!) is not really a series (and thus the song does not belong in Category:Songs from animated series) and the song itself has no animation.
  9. Category:Songs from animated series: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Songs written for animated series; notified Mike Selinker (talk · contribs) 17:52, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
  10. Template:Hlist1: nominated at RfD; Target: Template:Hlist (notified); notified CFCF (talk · contribs) 02:02, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: The existence of this redirect implies that there are multiple {{hlist}} templates (e.g. {{hlist1}} and {{hlist2}}), but that is not the case. (And, as far as I can tell, has never been the case.) Delete as actively misleading.
  11. Draft:William John Titus Bishop: nominated at MfD; notified Topg1985 (talk · contribs) 20:55, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

  5. Template:Musicalyr: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Template:Musical year 17:46, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per WP:TPN, use standard English spacing.
  6. Template:Filmyr: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Template:Film year category 17:49, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: expand template name per WP:TPN (the "category" is for disambiguation with the already-existing {{Film year}}).
  7. Category:Pages with Nazism left wing editnotice: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Pages with Nazism is not left wing editnotice 20:45, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
  8. Category:Film controversies in France: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Gng1999 (talk · contribs) 23:46, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not viable as a category after purging: only two subcategories and zero articles. Merging is not needed imo; both subcategories are already in the category trees they need to be in.

  11. Template:FMQ: nominated at TfD; notified Radiojon (talk · contribs) 00:46, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: This template links to a broken database. Replace all transclusions with {{FCC-LMS-Facility}} (which links to a functional database) and delete. (No need for a redirect; a merge is impossible and this is an implausible search term.)

    • Reason: From the hatnote, If you do not find what you are looking for in here, try the parent category Category:Wikipedia utility templates or one of its other subcategories. The distinction between these categories is unclear, and this one may need to up-merge. Either they need to merge (which is probably the easiest), or we need to come up with a clear distinction between the two (which will be a pain to put into effect, unless there is some preexisting distinction that is not clear to me).

[edit]
  1. Template:GFDL-OpenGeoDB: nominated at TfD; notified MarkSweep (talk · contribs) 17:04, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Transclusionless template which is both out of date and very unlikely to be helpful if brought up to date. It is meant for images from OpenGeoDB, but that database is currently placed in the public domain. However, it is vanishingly unlikely that this template will be needed in the future: the last edit appears to be from February 2020. If someone needs to upload a one-off image from the database, Commons is the place for that (they have their own c:Template:GFDL-OpenGeoDB). Or, if you really must upload it locally for some reason, you can use a generic {{PD-because|released into the public domain by OpenGeoDB}}.
  2. Template:Mfc: nominated at TfD; notified Fl (talk · contribs) 20:30, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Orphaned template stating that something is the current subject of Mediation, but WP:MEDCOM was shut down in 2018.
  3. Category:Sexuality-related controversies in film: nominated at CfD (CfS); splitting to Category:Obscenity controversies in film, Category:Film controversies; notified Jgp1999 (talk · contribs) 00:14, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: After purging, there is a single member of the category (Roman Polanski sexual abuse case). Upmerge to parents for now without prejudice against recreation if it can be appropriately populated.

[edit]
  1. Template:Cat: nominated at TfD (merge); Other template: Template:Category link; notified Croquant (talk · contribs) 00:11, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: {{Cat}} has the option for a "category:" prefix (i.e. {{cat|stubs}} and {{cat|Category:stubs}} have the same output: Category:Stubs), but otherwise this template just has fewer features than {{Category link}}. {{Category link}} does not accept the category prefix ({{Category link|Category:Stubs}} becomes Category:Stubs), but does allow for various options. They should be combined.
  2. File:Freebsd logo.svg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Sav vas (talk · contribs) 00:33, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Note: I do NOT support deleting this file.
      I am not exactly sure that it is clear that this is actually licensed under the BSD license? If it is under the BSD license, I would expect it to be under the two-clause BSD license, because that is the license the software uses. But I am not finding anywhere on the website where it indicates the logo itself is licensed under any of the BSD licenses. Therefore, I support relicensing as non-free for use in FreeBSD.
  3. Category:Eiei-year — used with year parameter(s) equals year in page title: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Educational institutions establishment category by year — used with year parameter(s) equals year in page title 21:26, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
  4. Category:Eiei-year — used on page without a year in the page title: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Educational institutions establishment category by year — used on page without a year in the page title 21:27, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
  5. Category:Eiei-year — used with year parameter(s) ≠ year in page title: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Educational institutions establishment category by year — used with year parameter(s) ≠ year in page title 21:29, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
  6. Category:Year by category — used with year parameter(s) ≠ year in page title: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Year by category — used with year parameter(s) does not equal year in page title 02:48, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: I feel like spelling out "does not equal" would be helpful; do you know how to type the "does not equal" sign?
  7. Category:Year by category — used with year parameter(s) equals year in page title: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Year by category — used with year parameter(s) matching year in page title; notified BrownHairedGirl (talk · contribs) 01:47, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
  8. Category:Pages using new version of Template EstcatCountry: nominated at CfD (CfD) 00:52, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: No longer necessary: all pages use the new version of {{EstcatCountry}}.
  9. Category:Reginar Brussels: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified JhowieNitnek (talk · contribs) 02:20, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
  10. Category:Pages using FM station data without facility ID: nominated at CfD (CfD) 22:23, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: No longer used by {{FM station data}} now that the cleanup has been completed.
  11. Category:Pages using AM station data without facility ID: nominated at CfD (CfD) 22:27, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: No longer used by {{AM station data}} after the cleanup was completed.
  12. Category:Pages using LPFM station data without facility ID: nominated at CfD (CfD) 01:39, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

[edit]
  1. Category:2022 establishment in Venezuela: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:2022 establishments in Venezuela; notified Thomson Walt (talk · contribs) 12:53, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Obvious duplicate categories.
  2. Category:2022 establishment in Venezuela: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:2022 establishments in Venezuela 17:13, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Obvious duplicate categories, and plural establishments is standard on Wikipedia.
  3. Category:Kingdom Hearts character redirects to lists: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Kingdom Hearts original characters redirects to lists 17:21, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
  4. Category:1820s disasters in Germany: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:1820s disasters in the German Confederation 01:41, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
  5. Category:1825 disasters in Germany: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:1825 disasters in the German Confederation 01:43, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
  6. File:Nutshell-talk.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified David Levy (talk · contribs) 22:49, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
  7. Template:Cc-by-sa: nominated at TfD; notified BDD (talk · contribs) 02:09, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Deprecated transclusionless template, and should thus be deleted.
      If kept, this could become a disambiguation page for the various CC BY-SA licenses. But I think a disambiguation page is worse than useless: There is no way to know what license the author intended to use for their work, so only the author can fix the error caused by using this template. A template which can literally only be an unfixable problem when used should be deleted. A link in the deletion summary to Category:Creative Commons copyright templates should be a nice way of ensuring people can find the template they are looking for while preventing problematic transclusions.
  8. Category:Wikipedia files of no use beyond Wikipedia: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Wikipedia files of no use beyond the English Wikipedia; notified Equazcion (talk · contribs) 01:45, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Better reflect what this category is for: Files useful on other language Wikipedias should still be moved to Commons (and thus do not belong in this category, which indicates that the file should not be moved to Commons).
  9. Template:Cc-by: nominated at TfD; notified BDD (talk · contribs) 14:18, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
  10. Category:YearInCountryPortalBox with no existing country portal: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Year in country portal box with no existing country portal 22:30, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Rename in the spirit of WP:C2D per {{Year in country portal box}}. It does not qualify for CFDS because it I only renamed earlier today per WP:TPN (which says we should use standard English spacing for template names), so I am bringing this to a full CFD.
  11. Template:Year by category: nominated at TfD; notified Plastikspork (talk · contribs) 05:23, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
  12. Category:Education scandals and controversies: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Lquilter (talk · contribs) 18:25, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: In the spirit of WP:XY, I do not see how this is a helpful redirect (which currently targets two categories). Delete it; I do not see how this would be a helpful {{category disambiguation}} page, per the aforementioned WP:XY.
  13. Portal:Schleswig-Holstein: nominated at MfD; notified Bermicourt (talk · contribs) 04:33, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
  14. Category:Fictional Bengali Hindus: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified BengaliHindu (talk · contribs) 22:05, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per WP:XY, this is an unhelpful category redirect.
  15. Category:Prejudice and discrimination in fiction: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Atvica (talk · contribs) 22:08, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per WP:XY, this is an unhelpful multi-target category redirect.
  16. Category:LGBT: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:LGBTQ 05:40, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: This one is probably important enough to do manually...

[edit]
  1. Category:Suicides by carbon monoxide poisoning in South Korea: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified CherryPie94 (talk · contribs) 02:24, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Another WP:XY category redirect with two targets which should be deleted.
  2. Category:BBC Micro and Acorn Electron game covers: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified BrownHairedGirl (talk · contribs) 02:25, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Another WP:XY category redirect which should be deleted.
  3. Category:LGBT YouTube celebrities: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified AusLondonder (talk · contribs) 02:48, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not a helpful redirect, considering that the start of both this category and its target is "LGBT YouTube". Delete it.
  4. Category:British jazz radio programs: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:British jazz radio programmes 19:47, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
  5. Template:Env: nominated at TfD; notified Gurch (talk · contribs) 23:33, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not seeing how this is a helpful template. It does two things. It lists all magic words, but we already have WP:MAGIC for that. It also shows what all magic words evaluate to on a given page, but that does not help anyone with anything. If you need to see what a given magic word evaluates to, you can just use that magic word directly (in preview, of course). Subst both uses and delete.
  6. Template:ZZZ: nominated at TfD; notified Feedback (talk · contribs) 00:41, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: We don't need a template for every single emoticon under the sun. Subst this template's single use and delete.
  7. Template:Z80: nominated at TfD; notified Crotalus horridus (talk · contribs) 00:51, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
  8. Category:Interwiki link templates - inline: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Inline interwiki link templates; notified W like wiki (talk · contribs) 17:59, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: I was going to suggest a rename to fix the MOS:DASH error, but I think this name flows better.
  9. Template:In': nominated at TfD; notified HTGS (talk · contribs) 18:05, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: This template exists only to help people violate MOS:CURLY: This template surrounds parameter text with two curly single quote marks for users who cannot easily type the ‘curly’ characters in place of the 'straight' characters. Update to use straight quotes, then subst, then delete.
  10. Template:In": nominated at TfD; notified HTGS (talk · contribs) 18:05, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: This template exists only to help people violate MOS:CURLY: This template surrounds parameter text with two curly single quote marks for users who cannot easily type the ‘curly’ characters in place of the 'straight' characters. Update to use straight quotes, then subst, then delete.
  11. Template:Spf: nominated at TfD; notified Xover (talk · contribs) 19:49, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
  12. Category:Suicides by carbon monoxide poisoning in Japan: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Fixer88 (talk · contribs) 17:26, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Another WP:XY redirect which should be deleted.
  13. Template:Image template notice1: nominated at TfD (merge); Other template: Template:File template notice; notified Hillrhpc (talk · contribs) 20:09, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Both of these templates do the same thing, except that {{Image template notice1}} requires a second unnamed parameter but {{File template notice}} has no such parameter. We can make use of {{#if}} to combine the two templates.
  14. Template:Su2: nominated at TfD; notified SkyLined (talk · contribs) 01:59, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Transclusionless duplicate of {{su}}. Not a plausible search term, so we shouldn't create a redirect.
  15. Template:ToC: nominated at TfD; notified Rich Farmbrough (talk · contribs) 03:56, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
  16. Category:Fictional witches and wizards: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified AHI-3000 (talk · contribs) 14:15, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

  17. Category:Enpun: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Immanuelle (talk · contribs) 14:18, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not clear how this is a helpful redirect. Delete it.
  18. Category:Shintoist superheroes: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Wahspsneh (talk · contribs) 17:05, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

  22. Template:BlueButton: nominated at TfD; notified ManosHacker (talk · contribs) 18:42, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Two transclusion template which is redundant to {{mw button|class=progressive}}. Convert the two uses to use {{mw button}} and then redirect to the different {{blue button}}.
  23. Template:PPR: nominated at TfD; notified Gimmetrow (talk · contribs) 23:36, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Template used for linking to the long-obsolete Wikipedia:Portal peer review. As a template for an inactive process, it should be deleted.
  24. Template:Rej: nominated at TfD; notified Smaug123 (talk · contribs) 03:08, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: I am not even sure what process this could be for on Wikipedia. The only place on Wikipedia we do straight-up votes is at WP:ARBCOM, and speaking as a (trainee) clerk I had never even heard of this template. Delete them.
  25. Category:Natural Monuments of Nepal: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Natural monuments of Nepal; notified Northamerica1000 (talk · contribs) 19:07, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
  26. Category:National Parks in Indiana: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:National parks in Indiana; notified Acroterion (talk · contribs) 19:34, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
  27. Category:National Monuments in Guyana: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:National monuments in Guyana; notified KittenKlub (talk · contribs) 19:44, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: De-caps per WP:C2A. It was possibly opposed at CFDS (see the other discussions on today's log), so I am bringing this to a full discussion.
  28. Category:National Monuments of Colombia: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:National monuments of Colombia; notified Staticshakedown (talk · contribs) 19:45, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

  29. Template:7thC-document-stub: nominated at CfD (SfD); notified Not0nshoree (talk · contribs) 01:17, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Orphaned stub template with no associated category.

  33. Category:American writers about The Holocaust: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:American writers about the Holocaust 03:39, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
  34. Template:Year parameter usage check: nominated at TfD; notified BrownHairedGirl (talk · contribs) 18:08, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Now that {{Year by category}} is gone, this template is now transclusionless. We don't want to encourage creating templates which do not make use of {{title year}} (or similar), so we should delete the template.
  35. Category:14th-century German LGBT people: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:14th-century German people; notified Bearcat (talk · contribs) 22:42, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
  36. Category:Wikipedians interested in LGBT issues: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Wikipedians interested in LGBTQ issues; notified Photouploaded (talk · contribs) 13:45, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per the recent renames following WP:CONSUB and WP:C2D per LGBTQ. This one is a user category, so I thought it would make sense to have a separate discussion.
  37. Template:Ipr: nominated at TfD; notified MZMcBride (talk · contribs) 05:34, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: This template is literally identical to {{1x}} – it just returns its first unnamed parameter. For some reason, this was used at the now-historical Wikipedia:Database reports/Range blocks. There is no reason that historical page's IPs need to be wrapped in this template, so subst and delete. No need to redirect; this is a very unlikely search term.

[edit]
  1. Template:Cc-by-3.0-sg: nominated at TfD; notified Majora (talk · contribs) 20:07, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Orphaned licensing template. Singapore's freedom of panorama is more permissive than the US, so there will not be any derivative works which need this license that must be uploaded locally. Such files can and should be uploaded to Commons and tagged with c:Template:Cc-by-3.0-sg.
  2. File:Exetercourts.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Chris Harris (talk · contribs) 23:30, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Licensed under the GFDL per {{Assumed license}}, but the original uploader gave it the description This digital photo was taken on May 18th by Chris Harris and is available for fair use (emphasis added). I do not think that sounds like an implicit GFDL license – I think that sounds like an attempted non-free image. The building still exists, so this would fail WP:NFCC1 and should therefore be deleted.

  9. Template:Text to image: nominated at TfD; notified ZxxZxxZ (talk · contribs) 16:48, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Using plaintext is more accessible than using images, because it is easily readable by screen readers. Plaintext is also easier to copy/paste and is more readable wikitext. Delete after converting its sole use to plaintext.
