Template:Eastern Countries (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Needs deletion as the reflection of the respective article's original research/patent non-sense content (AfD already discussed). AlexPU 18:34, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox U.S. City (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Via discussion here and a subsequent informal vote the WP:CITY community has decided to merge this template into Template:Infobox City. The necessary modifications have been made and the affected articles have been tagged for new infoboxes. harpchad 15:24, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, oh well expect a long term revert war, it a shame the porr quailty template are considered replacments. It should also be noted that the tag was also improperly placed on the templte so that other users could not see, the temple was removed as an noting but an attempt to speed up the deletion, which is the primay tatic in deprecheating a templet, to subrvert process. the decdion on a replacement was on made 3 days after it was noted on the the so called replaced template. All i can say is revert war. I would hve no problem in working with user to creat a btter infobox for use in city article on the uintes states, which the so called "replacemet" baox id for, but since the involed user seeom to have no intrest in improving the infobox, as their so caled replaxement is hardly an improvment over what the city box was, is bascly a broken car with a new paint job, or the obx what they seek to replace, which works better and is far easier to use and takes up less coding space. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 05:33, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Wikipedia needs one standard template for all cities. There was considerable discussion of merging Template:Infobox U.S. City and Template:Infobox City prior to this vote for deletion (see discussion). Dr. Cash 06:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep Template is at the moment used, discussion here is not completed. --Yakudza 06:43, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge Both templates seem to have positive features, and I'd suggest incorporating the additional information of the new one with the old one so that the best possible--and most informative--template exists. PAWiki 07:11, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, although whatever positive features of the US template should be incorporated into the new. It is only natural that Wiki would eventually adopt a unique infobox suitable for use for cities worldwide. If there is a problem with this I would suggest, instead of forwarding vague arguments of a propriatory nature, listing all 'problems' and what to preserve point by point. THEPROMENADER 07:38, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Although I've always been partial to the U.S. City template, that look and most of its features have already been adopted into the generic city infobox. Any remaining positive aspects need to completely assimilated into the generic template. --Mad Max 16:55, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment How far along is the conversion process? If this is deleted, will we be left with numerous articles with unsightly dead templates? I'm all for the conversion, but not if it damages article quality. youngamerican (talk) 12:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment If the closing administrator determines that the outcome of this discussion is delete, the template should be listed in the holding cell under the to orphan section (at the bottom of this page). The template won't actually be deleted until the conversion/orphaning is complete. As of right now there are still about 101 pages left to convert. (When this template was nominated just three days ago there were closer to 160.) —Jnk[talk] 15:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Vandal-exterm (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Unencyclopedic, and goes against WP:AGF. Vandals can be rehabilitated, and we definitely should not discourage that. Rory096 04:42, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep If we assume too much good faith, we let Willy lose. Besides it's just humorus.--Gangsta-Easter-Bunny 12:31, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. --Nearly Headless Nick 10:43, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It isn't accusing any specific users or kinds of users of being incorrigible vandals, so it's not assuming bad faith. We all know that there are some users who sign on just to %$& around and annoy serious wikipedians; acknowledging that is a simple statement of fact. More importantly, this userbox is clearly a joke. No one would seriously advocate using nuclear weapons against immature little jackasses. Other far less relevent joke userboxes have been kept; if we're going to start deleting non-serious userboxes, start with the totally purposeless ones like the gangster and fictional disease ones above. If nothing else, this one lets a user blow off a little steam on their user page so they can return to the recent pages patrol (or wherever it was they found the vandalism that pissed them off) with a cool head. --Icarus 04:48, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, hostile and divisive. KillerChihuahua?!? 11:48, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- This is not a general-purpose template; it's a UBX. Users are entitled to their opinions and entitled to air them; and this is good for the community and good for the project. Please don't nominate in-policy UBX. John Reid 21:25, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Practical Joke (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) - waste of template space, unhelpful, and only transculded on subpages of the user who created it. This is also a case of WP:BEANS. Delete. --GeorgeMoney T·C 01:03, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
