The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was close. Redirects are listed for deletion at WP:RfD. JPG-GR (talk) 18:49, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Country data FYROM (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Country data FYR Macedonia (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Country data Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Country data Macedonia, the former Yugoslav Republic of (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Strictly speaking, these are all redirects, but I am nominating them here because they are all used like templates. Specifically, they are used with {{flag}}, {{flagicon}}, etc. to render the flag of Macedonia and perhaps a wikilink to the Republic of Macedonia article with the corresponding template name as display text for that link. In effect, they are alternate "aliases" of Template:Country data Macedonia. This nomination is is response to WP:MOSMAC2, which prescribes the instances where the country should be referred to as "former Yugoslav". I have found no instances where these alias templates are needed, and keeping them is a type of POV, in my opinion. If it is absolutely essential to show "former Yugoslav" with a flag template (as is arguably the case in the current ISO 3166-1 article), then the name parameter can be used, as per its intent (e.g. {{flag|Macedonia|name=Macedonia, the former Yugoslav Republic of}}. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 18:45, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Civil Parishes of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Per MOS:PUNC the correct form is Template:Civil Parishes of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, which exists. No article transcludes this template. ClickRick (talk) 10:41, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Repo! The Genetic Opera (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I do not see the point in having this template as all of the characters are redlinked, non-existent pages, and there doesn't seem to be a need to set about creating pages for them anyway. magnius (talk) 09:25, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: I created the template in advance as I am going to be making pages for them, I could switch the to unlinked until they get started. But if you are going to delete it anyway, I will just be wasting my time adding more stuff to Wikipedia that won't go anywhere.

  • Keep for now - Currently, several items in the template have pages. If more will be added soon, this template will be valuable. If not, the template can be deleted in due time. But given that the template was just created, it does have some linked existing articles, and the creator has indicated an intent to create the currently non-existent articles, it makes most sense to give it a chance to develop.

  • Delete: And delete those character pages too! This is a movie that has no sequal and all the information about those characters (which consists as about a paragraph) should be listed in the films's article. Andrzejbanas (talk) 09:59, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
