Template:PortableApps.com (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Functionally spam for a website, bunch of redlinks in appropriate for nav template. being in a collection is not worthy of a nav template on most software articles. SchmuckyTheCat (talk) 05:40, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't see a reason for a website to have its own template. Looks like spam to me, too.—J. M. (talk) 05:46, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I agree, it is WP:SPAM. - Ahunt (talk) 11:48, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - It is clearly spam. Not only should the template be deleted but the link should also be removed from pages that were spammed with it. Guy Macon 13:18, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I suggest deleting the template immediately, without waiting for 7 days as required by WP:AFD. This is a clear case of WP:SNOW—the consensus is already apparent, there is no chance that this template will survive, it will undoubtedly be deleted, as it does nothing but promote a website. The template creator is adding it to as many software-related articles as possible, and for a spammer, even a short promotion on Wikipedia that lasts 7 days is a success. Actually, I think adding the template to Templates for discussion was a mistake, this should have been dealt with using the Speedy deletion process, as it it obvious spam. Spam should be removed as quickly as possible. I will not nominate it for speedy deletion now that it's nominated here, but there is no need to wait for the full bureaucratic process here, common sense should be applied.—J. M. (talk) 14:11, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've marked it for CSD. In my experience, templates marked for CSD aren't speedily deleted because they are kind of orphaned from the normal CSD process. Any wandering admin who notices this conversation can act though, hint hint. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
Delete - Pure spam, adds nothing to the Wikipedia and only serves to promote a product Nuwewsco (talk) 18:04, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Merge Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 02:07, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Catmore1 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Catmore2 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging one way or the other. I see little benefit of utilizing two templates which both do the exact same thing. The only difference between the two is that the former requires the use of a pipelink, while the latter does not. Personally, I would be inclined to merge the former to the latter, as I don't see much of a reason to require pipe links when it can be conveniently linked right from the start. — ξxplicit 04:50, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep it allows formating the of the catmore, allowing better presentation. 70.29.210.72 (talk) 05:04, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support merge. So far as I can tell, a lot of categories that use {{Catmore1}} should actually be using {{Catmore2}} as they don't require piped links. It would be trivial to have {{Catmore2}} pipe links by using a second parameter (I've already done this in the sandbox), or we could merge the other way, whichever works best. But to be honest, I don't see any real reason to be piping links in categories anyway. See Category:Pulp albums: what is the benefit in piping the link? The article we're directing people to is Pulp (band), not Pulp, so why not be clear instead of confusing things with an unnecessary pipe? PC78 (talk) 07:02, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Archaeological Site (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Fork of {{Infobox archaeological site}}. Having two templates that differ only by capitalization and do the same thing is confusing. 12.185.186.2 (talk) 03:04, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Camera (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Only a handful of uses and basically redundant to the more widely used {{Infobox camera}}. It would seem as though any missing fields from {{Infobox camera}} could be added and the small number of transclusions could be converted. Having two templates that differ only by capitalization and do the same thing is confusing. 12.185.186.2 (talk) 02:42, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
