Pointless! Mhiji (talk) 19:19, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep! Rehman 11:51, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as it is now orphaned by replacement of {{Fb cl2 qr}} with {{Fb cl3 qr}} in the article transcluding the template. By the way, we have way too many of these Fb templates, and the naming convention is completely indecypherable. Someone should merge these? 134.253.26.12 (talk) 19:37, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:—wrap (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:–wrap (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:—wrap with Template:–wrap. Duplicate. Mhiji (talk) 18:36, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose exactly how are they duplicate? One is an ndash, the other is an mdash. We even have guidelines on their use WP:DASH. And where would you merge it? {{-wrap}} (hyphen wrap ; which doesn't exist for some reason) {{--wrap}} (double hyphen wrap) {{−wrap}} (minus wrap) ? 65.93.13.216 (talk) 05:21, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But what's the point of having two templates that do the same job? Surely one should redirect to the other? Mhiji (talk) 14:28, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, I agree with the IP, it is different. Look closer. Rehman 15:06, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, as long as there is a difference between en dash and em dash, having both is useful. See MOS:DASH. 134.253.26.12 (talk) 19:40, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per nom. Rehman 15:08, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. The template code and the documentation were copy-pasted from {{talkback}}, and this template does nothing that talkback doesn't (except changes the image from one that expresses communication to one that doesn't). -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 16:43, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per nom. The problem itself has actually been partially solved with {{Wormhole}}. On the plus side I do like the graphic. ; ) --vgmddg (look | talk | do) 00:13, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Unnecessary template. Very few transclusions. Should be substituted and then redirected to {{Thank you}} to avoid confusion. Mhiji (talk) 13:13, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Template:Thank you, per nom. I think what it's attempting to do is too generic—e.g., "Your apology or cleanup was greatly appreciated." (emphasis added). The few transclusions can be substed. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 16:40, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Black Falcon, and delete its useless talkpage redirect. Rehman 11:59, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge {{Thankyou}}, {{Thank You IP}} and {{Wikithanks}} into {{Thank you}}. --vgmddg (look | talk | do) 23:03, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Support this. Mhiji (talk) 23:12, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Rehman. The underlying template ought to be deleted for the reasons given by Black Falcon, but the actual name ought to be a redirect as a spacing variation. --Bsherr (talk) 03:27, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Motorsport in 2011 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Usage of this template has never been clearly established in its 2009 & 2010 versions, neither has an inclusion criteria for what 2011 motorsport season articles can be included. Is poorly named (some categories listed are not international), has been subject of edit warring. Until such time as an inclusion criteria can be established (discussion currently underway at Template talk:Motorsport in 2010#"Previous Consensus"?. Doing this in an attempt to prevent further perpetuation of NPOV and edit warring. Falcadore (talk) 02:14, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Easy to edit war, also the criteria for international motorsport is vague, as there is no definition. Some of these listed are not international even if they visit one country (V8 Supercar and H1 Unlimited), does this make them international. Since when Sprint Cup was international, they never ventured outside the US for a start. Donnie Park (talk) 07:13, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per Donnie. Rehman 12:03, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, Can I also recommend nominating this template (Template:Motorsport in the UK) for deletion as it is no better either for the same reason as the nom. Donnie Park (talk) 17:04, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: All of these arguments can also be applied to Template:Motorsport in 2009 and Template:Motorsport in 2010; should they also be deleted? --Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 18:05, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, and Template:Motorsport in 2009 and Template:Motorsport in 2010 as well. Little chance of establishing a meaningful criteria means there will be a constant stream of editors adding and removing series based on personal preferences. Kuguar03 (talk) 00:04, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Reply to comments - anyone know how to incorporate the 2009 & 2010 rtemplates into the discussion? --Falcadore (talk) 00:32, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Reply Reply - There's some directions for a multiple AfD here: WP:BUNDLE, but I don't know if that'll work here. Since this discussion has been going on for a week already it might not be correct to include them here, but rather list separately. Kuguar03 (talk) 00:37, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Reply: let this TfD run its course then decide whether to list 2010 and 2009 based on the outcome. --Falcadore (talk) 02:31, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, as per above, and possibly replace with something more specific, and with a proper inclusion criteria! Calistemon (talk) 06:33, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
