The result of the discussion was Merge to Template:Platonism.--Salix (talk): 14:51, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- Template:Platonism (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:Platonav with Template:Platonism.
The templates duplicate one another. Of the two, Platonism is more widely used (by at least 2:1) and better formed. Platonav has some nice elements, but the "formation and naming" section has no guiding theme. Both suffer NPOV and OR problems (instead of naming the dialogue, the link states [in one word] a topic that might be the theme of that dialogue) but work is better begun by changing Platonism, on account of its wider usage.

- Merge per nom. Clearly the templates are close duplicates of each other. Singinglemon (talk) 13:42, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

- A merge looks like a good idea. Airplaneman ✈ 15:43, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

This template is unfinished and would duplicate both Template:Platonism and Template:Platonav (one of which should be merged into the other, I think). RJC TalkContribs 23:21, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

- Template:Plato Works (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
This template seems redundant with Template:Dialogues of Plato. This one is not used by any article, while the other template is on all of the dialogue pages. RJC TalkContribs 23:19, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was Delete. Duplicates the content of Template:Christianity and China. Salix (talk): 12:39, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
Duplicates the content of Template:Christianity and China. bd2412 T 22:55, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
- The latter was actually only recently converted into a navbox (formerly, it was a sidebar). The prudent course of action would be to undo that change. We can have both sidebars and navboxes for the same topic. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 09:48, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 16:59, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
- Delete. Having both sidebars and navobxes for the same information is a bit like having belts and suspenders and leads to page clutter. Christianity and China is a more attractive template and is used on many pages; Christianity in China is less attractive and used on just two. Of the two, Christianity in China should be the one to go.— Preceding unsigned comment added by RJC (talk • contribs)
- Delete per RJC and the rationale in the nomination. Airplaneman ✈ 15:46, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

- Template:Db-botnomain (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Db-botnomainreviewed (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
These now unused templates were meant to be put on talk pages without main page by a bot that is not longer active. I think it should be deleted along with the (empty) categories Category:Talk pages with no main page and Category:Reviewed talk pages with no main page. Svick (talk) 15:23, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
Wouldn't it make more sense to request a new bot take up the mantle?–xenotalk 15:29, 28 July 2010 (UTC)- There's already Wikipedia:Database reports/Orphaned talk pages and so I think such bot would be redundant. Svick (talk) 16:04, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
- In that case, delete as unnecessary. –xenotalk 17:08, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
