Template:Infobox Indian Institute of Technology (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template is both unused and redundant. It was forked from {{Infobox university}} way back in 2006. The template {{Infobox university}} has been completely rewritten since then, and this template has not benefitted from those improvements. This template was used in only six articles; on October 15, 2010 I replaced five with {{Infobox university}} and one with {{Infobox laboratory}}. HairyWombat 23:13, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Army Institute of Technology (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template is both unused and redundant. It appears to be a recent fork from {{Infobox Indian Institute of Technology}}, which was itself forked from {{Infobox university}} way back in 2006. The template {{Infobox university}} has been completely rewritten since then, and these forked templates have not benefitted from those improvements. This template was only ever used in a single article, Army Institute of Technology, Pune; I replaced it with {{Infobox university}} on October 15, 2010.

Template:RFPP2 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I concede this hasn't caught on, and is superfluous, but since I wasn't the creator, any objections? --Bsherr (talk) 19:02, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • As the original template creator, I can tell you that the original template was rather different. It used to be simply 'Endorse protection', with a small blue plus sign next to it. The nominator then moved the template to it's current location, also 'expanding it's scope'. The new template only allows editors to support or oppose RFPP requests, voting shouldnt happen at RFPP. So delete.Acather96 (talk) 09:20, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was substitute and delete per WP:SNOW Peter Karlsen (talk) 01:29, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note: My bot is working on substitution of all uses. The template will be ready for deletion in approximately three days. Peter Karlsen (talk) 01:47, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:City-region (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template offers no advantage whatsoever over using normal wikitext. For example, {{city-region|Nashville|Tennessee}} merely results in [[Nashville, Tennessee]], so it's actually more work to use the template, not to mention it's less intuitive and makes wikitext harder to read. Suggest substituting all uses then deleting. PC78 (talk) 16:37, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It used to provide for easy linking to [[Nashville, Tennessee|Nashville]], [[Tennessee]], but an earlier discussion determined that that was unwarranted overlinking, even done manually. If that consensus isn't likely to change, there's no reason not to delete the template.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:43, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Redirect, and if that is not enough feel free to take it to RFD. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 04:29, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Since the commencement of the first nomination, Template:Cleanup has been edited such that it is now designed for all relevant namespaces, including the category namespace. I believe the substantial difficulty with the first nomination was that opponents lacked confidence that such edits would be accomplished. As they now have, I think it's appropriate to determine whether the consensus is now different. Cleancat, which is only for categories, is redundant to the Cleanup template. Also, Cleancat is designed in a "needs attention" format, a format which previously existed for the mainspace too but has now been abolished in favor of the "cleanup" format; the category namespace should now follow for the same reasons the change was made in the mainspace, and for consistency.

The result of the discussion was close as being out of scope. The userbox should be discussed at WP:MfD. The cross-space redirect should be discussed at WP:RfD. PC78 (talk) 17:11, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:User Religion Is Harmful (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I thought we banned POV userboxes from template space.

Even if we hadn't, there might be a case for "user atheist" but not x is harmful. Can I create "Atheism is harmful" or "Scientology is evil" or "The world needs Jesus"? No, delete this. Don't even userfy it, people should use "I am an X" boxed (if they need to assert POV) not "I hate Y". Scott Mac 10:23, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please guys, this article has been nominated earlier and the result was keep. If you want to delete it for its name, then move it. The box is names religion is harmful because thats what atheism means. --Anirudh Emani (talk) 10:47, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
My understanding is that POV userboxes are not allowed in template space.--Scott Mac 10:49, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This has already been discussed at length [1]. But if you insist on nominating this one then feel free to nominate its "counter userbox" too: "Atheism is harmful". Also, which userbox doesn't have a point of view in it? -- ◅PRODUCER (TALK) 10:52, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The counter one is in user space. I don't like it either, but it isn't in community space. Banish this one to your userspace and the problem is much less.--Scott Mac 10:55, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Why not move it rather than nominate it for deletion in the first place? -- ◅PRODUCER (TALK) 11:07, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK, but we also need rid of the resultant cross space redirect. Which means that all the users currently using this template need to change it, or they will end up with redlinks. We don't have any cross-space redirects for any of the other ideological userboxes. Would you also be willing to move {{User atheist}} to your userspace on the same basis. That seems to be our policy compromise on these things now.--Scott Mac 12:47, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
