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

This appears to be currently pointless, since the bot that updates the status is not active. 134.253.26.6 (talk) 00:34, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Initially thought to "keep" since it's used on a number of userpages. But considering the bot's status, I think it's good to go. Reh man 01:29, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Ivy League MLB All-Stars (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This seems unnecessary to me. There is no page for List of Ivy League Major League Baseball All-Stars, and nor should there be. Why do we have to link these six individuals together based on a coincidence? Muboshgu (talk) 19:53, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep These are six individuals linked by common achievement.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 19:59, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Indifferent Seems fine for now, but lets just hope there aren't any more, since the separate column formatting is going to be unsustainable :) 134.253.26.6 (talk) 23:14, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per Tony. Notable intersection (see here and here and here). I do not view this by any means as "coincidence".--Epeefleche (talk) 23:22, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:EMBED that links in navigational aids should already be included in an ideal version of the page the box is being used on. Most of the players in this box would not already be included on the pages of the other players in the navbox. Trivial linkage and navbox cruft. -DJSasso (talk) 23:43, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unbelievably trivial intersection. People who both went to an Ivy League school and were MLB All-Stars? Two topics that are as unrelated as it gets. I'm looking forward to the creation of {{Major League third basemen who attended middle school in Oklahoma}} though. Reso lute 00:21, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Intersection of two unrelated traits. Isaac Lin (talk) 00:49, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this. --Muboshgu (talk) 03:15, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I have never understood the point of these templates, they are unnecessary.--Yankees10 00:56, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This format would become unwieldy if just three or four more players should meet the criteria. One wonders how this format would work with conferences that have had many more major league players such as the SEC. There would be no reason to restrict this to just one conference if this one is approved setting a precedent. This would work better as a list page with a nice table and photos. Each of the players could have a see also direct to the list. Kinston eagle (talk) 01:33, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete it's trivial. We don't do it for other conferences, so why this one? DC T•C 16:40, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. In fact we want to avoid a precedence so these don't get started for other conferences. MarnetteD | Talk 20:03, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Extremely trivial intersection. — KV5 • Talk • 20:22, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Differences between turtles, tortoises and terrapins (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused since February 2010. Former templatification of article text. The three articles now read differently, to focus on each term in particular. oknazevad (talk) 19:17, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unused. This isn't a template, it's an old article - shouldn't be in template space. Mhiji (talk) 19:22, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template with no blue links for a never-played competition whose own article was recently deleted. Alzarian16 (talk) 15:00, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unused. All red links. Useless. Mhiji (talk) 15:40, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete, given the sheer size of the category. If someone wants to create a more targeted version, perhaps as a footer navigation box, go right ahead. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 01:54, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

This template's subject matter is bound to be unwieldy. Everything related to history and politics in a sub-heading? Everything in the visual and performing arts? A third of Wikipedia would end up with this on it. It will not be an aid to navigation. RJC ^Talk_Contribs 14:47, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Far too broad to be useful. Mhiji (talk) 15:41, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per nom. Reh man 01:32, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete. Humanities is a broad concept, but important in discussions on education and funding. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.75.0 (talk) 17:44, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Restructure. A simplified box would be acceptable, one that only contained links to the main articles it presents as top categories: law, visual- and performing arts, literature, history and politics and philosophy and religion and no more. Trying to fit in all undercategories will indeed eventually bloat the thing beyond any useful purpose. --Saddhiyama (talk) 13:51, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - far too broad to be covered in a single navigational template. Suitable as a category (Category:Humanities), where readers can browse the subcategories, but not as a template. Robofish (talk) 22:02, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:FIFA World Cup 2022 Qualifiers (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Round Maple (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Round maple is a tiny hamlet of dubious notability in itself. The buildings and woods listed on this template are also not notable, and only redirect to the main article. Serves no purpose whatsoever. Quantpole (talk) 12:13, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A run-of-the-mill hamlet with a population of 20 and little notability does not require a template. Besides which, all content is either a redirect to Round Maple or to an article that looks highly likely to be deleted. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 15:48, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete only four real articles aside from the main article, and two redirects to the main article. All four articles are up for deletion. 184.144.167.193 (talk) 05:47, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Three of these have been deleted by AfD. This template now contains a single article, which is still up for deletion. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 09:50, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - ...and that article has also been deleted. Template now contains 0 (non-redirect) links. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 18:05, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Johnny Depp (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

No other actor has a navbox that is dumped on every article of films they star in. I think this is a little too much... —Mike Allen 01:42, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
