These don't provide anything that {{Non-free stamp}} doesn't, and having country-specific templates just makes keeping track of the templates and images harder. --Carnildo (talk) 06:31, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I'm the person who actually does 99% of the maintenance of stamp images here, and I created them as a convenience for myself, similarly to the long-existing {{USPSstamp}} which is also a country-specific template (your case would be more plausible if you'd nominated that template for deletion also - why is the US special?). There are a couple reasons for these: one, the copyright periods are different, and I can see at a glance whether the country's category has anything that is actually PD and can go to commons instead. Second, people are always trying to sneak in random images by tagging them as stamps, and smaller categories makes this easier for me to detect. Stan (talk) 14:38, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • The US is special in that the cutoff date for stamps entering the public domain isn't determined by copyright law, but rather by when the US Postal Service was split off from the government. --Carnildo (talk) 21:34, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment your point about {{USPSstamp}} is valid - the US is not special, so I have nominated this template also. This does not necessarily indicate a desire to delete these templates, only a desire for consistency. Happymelon 21:17, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep — this seems like a valid use for more specific licensing. If we can specify the license more precisely, I think we should. --Haemo (talk) 05:24, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Church (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The template is redundant as the "{{Infobox church2}}" template is better designed and more widely used. — Cheers, JackLee talk 15:15, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was Deleted. There appears to be no substantial consensus in favour of retention, and by the end of the discussion period all the transclusions of these templates had been successfully converted to {{VictorianTouristRailwayStation}} with no objections. These hardcoded instance therefore qualify for WP:CSD#T3. Happymelon 22:03, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:TrollWarning (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Any talk page could attract trolling, but some are more vulnerable than others. There are major WP:DENY, WP:BEANS and WP:AGF issues here. If there's been a troll warning on a page for months that serves as a symbol of the troll's victory, and nothing necessarily to suggest that that talk page will ever be used again for trolling. Also there is a lot of overlap here with the "this is a controversial topic which may be under dispute", and it clutters up the talk pages that are already full of such templates in some cases.. h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 01:05, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. If anything, this is just a big neon sign saying "TROLLS COME HERE!" JPG-GR (talk) 07:40, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, per JPG-GR. Don't give them the satisfaction. Happymelon 21:07, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It is a big neon sign that says "TROLLS COME HERE!", and thats the point. As it serves be one of the first things at the top of the talk page, it should remind editors not to get drawn into an argument by a troll. I have also linked the prior TfDs, two "keep" closes and one "no consensus Very useful template" close. I would encourage people to read over them before !voting on this, the forth nomination.
