The result of the discussion was delete and replace it with {{Infobox politician}} or any other redirect of {{Infobox officeholder}} that fits better Magioladitis (talk) 00:08, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Polish politicians (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Ancient template, only a single transclusion on an old user space article. Redundant to {{Infobox officeholder}} in any case. PC78 (talk) 13:40, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Redundant to {{Infobox candidate}} and with very few transclusions. We try to avoid different templates that differ only in capitalisation. Moreover, the webpage field isn't needed in the infobox. We try to get external links to a section instead of the Infobox in most of the cases. Magioladitis (talk) 12:17, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. Rich Farmbrough, 12:23, 25 September 2010 (UTC).[reply]
I don't feel very comfortable with Wikipedia "advertising" campaign sites. Anyway, I tend to agree with you. We can make clear that these infoboxes are for campaign pages only and not for biography articles. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:50, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at {{Infobox Candidate}} again, some of the fields there relate more to the person than the campaign, and in a few articles it is being used as a biographical infobox. My feeling is that we should replace all uses with either {{Infobox U.S. federal election campaign}} or {{Infobox candidate}} as appropriate, then delete because I don't see anything worth merging. There are only 10 articlespace transclusions, so this shouldn't be difficult. No opinion on the external link, but that's a side issue to what we're discussing here anyway.

I agree. Delete. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:35, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
