The result of the debate was Delete - unused template and the sole author consents (POV concerns were not considered, these are too broad to be addressed in an XfD of an unused template).--Doug.(talk contribs) 21:31, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Busiest airports in Europe (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Adds little encyclopedic value to articles. Information can be included int he article by a single "see also" or a link in the article proper. — CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 21:53, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was delete a link to a site that then needs using a not common application is of little to no use. Not enough to need a template for it, nor WP is supposed to gather users for the site [as a personal note: the site's concept looks interesting, but still not worthy of a WP template] - Nabla (talk) 16:23, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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

The template links to a non-Wikipedia page of dubious reliability, which requires a download in order to use. We shouldn't be sending users out to non-Wikipedia pages under such circumstances. The User who created the template also has the same name as the website the template is directing to. — Corvus cornixtalk 20:53, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I created this project to provide a way for students to look at models or objects which exists some where in museums or laboratories and are not available to the general public in this way. The Photosynth project by Microsoft was a big inspiration for me. I just wanted to create an application which is a little more open (for example the file format in which the coordinates for the planes are saved is XML). Also I wanted the users to contribute their own Photos to the project. Since 3D is not possible in a Browser yet and implementing a computer vision algorithm in javascript is not very efficient I wrote a Desktop application. I also collaborated with our local university to create this project. I can understand the security concerns. I merely thought that wikipedia and my project are matching in a particular way since both are relying on the content creation by the user. Best regards. --ipluggs

Template:Droylsden F.C. squad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Consensus is that only clubs that currently play in a fully professional league should have current squad templates. – PeeJay 17:53, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was Orphan and consider for use on talk pages. Do not use in the mainspace without a broad discussion at, for example, VPP as doing so violates current policy (WP:NDA). (Leaving the orphaning to others.) --Doug.(talk contribs) 21:42, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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

Only used on a tiny amount of pages, does not appear to have had any discussion regarding its inclusion in the mainspace, and probably isn't all that useful. naerii 16:23, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It looks a lot like a disclaimer to me. I was surprised when I saw it. --Raijinili (talk) 05:28, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, something like this could be added to the BLP template added on the talk page though. Good idea. ViperSnake151 03:08, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Most of our readers and bio-subjects won't know about the talk page or noticeboards, they only know what is displayed on the page itself. ("Read what they're saying about you, mate!"). The intention is to make key information on BLPs directly visible to a reader or subject as a small professional footnote, so that if there were a genuine issue, the reader will know exactly what the situation is and what to do. (It would be seen as a Good Thing by someone who happened to have a concern on a BLP article, and it reinforces that readers can help identify issues, which may get more eyeballs.)

  • Fair enough, but currently it's only used on maybe ~10 articles and has had (as far as I can tell) almost no discussion. It seems to be largely abandoned. How would you feel about removing it from articles that it's currently in and starting a discussion on VPP? naerii 12:53, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:NDA. If there is any value in such a template, it should go on the discussion page, not main article space. Also, general tone and language is problematic. For example, does WP only "[aim] for an exceptionally high standard" on BLP articles, as it suggests, with lower standards for other articles? Further, just because one might be "affected" or "concerned" about an article doesn't necessarily make that article "substandard", as the template's language suggests. --ZimZalaBim talk 19:35, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:NDA. If there's any consensus for displaying this type of message, it should go on article talk pages and be activated by the "living=yes" parameter of {{WPBiography}}. –Black Falcon (Talk) 16:12, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment (leaning on keep) I agree that it should not be used in the main space, for the above reasons. But the template may have some good use by pointing out how to handle BLP issues, WP is not exactly easy for newcommers... So why not reword and document its use (talk page only) instead? Or is there something against such use and/or another similar template? - Nabla (talk) 16:11, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
