Template:Future TV show (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Created by User:Doracake specifically for Dokidoki! PreCure, which the creator put also put in. No other upcoming television show uses this template. WP:NODISCLAIMERS. Cyan Gardevoir ^{(used EDIT!)} 23:27, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete. "Future" templates have been deprecated per this discussion three years ago. The preferred method now is to simply categorize such shows in Category:Upcoming television series. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 01:40, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - This template doesn't meet any of the speedy deletion criteria. ❤ Yutsi ^Talk/ Contributions ( 偉特 ) 18:35, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete per the discussion cited by Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars. ❤ Yutsi ^Talk/ Contributions ( 偉特 ) 18:35, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The template I put was to warn the editors who add too much information that can't be sourced about these articles, and categories don't really matter, unless there are other usable existed templates I didn't know . --Doracake (talk) 18:40, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That would fall under WP:V, which applies to every article. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 01:35, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Fastest trains in India (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Not a suitable template and it is transcluded in the Express trains in India article, which is a good place for the info. The contents of the template will need copying before deletion. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 19:43, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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

Just hard-coded text, used only once. This sort of extra layer in content impedes maintenance without any benefit, so the template should be substed and deleted BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:17, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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

Unused template, which seems too specialised to be likely to be used. It is categorised only in [[:Category:|Netherlands templates]], so it may once have been used in some Netherlands-related article. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:14, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Canadian politics/Montreal municipal/Colour VM (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

None of these are being used on any page. All of their functionality can be replicated by Template:Canadian party colour. There is no reason to keep them for subsitution because the contents of the templates are shorter than the template names. There is no reason to keep them for their histories because they have had few-to-no edits and few-to-no mentions on talk pages. —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 07:42, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment how have they been replaced by Canadian party colour? All I see are big red X's on the documentation -- 70.24.247.127 (talk) 23:01, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I assume you're talking about the documentation at Template:Canadian politics/party colours. The TfD template I put on these templaes' pages when I nominated them broke that table, so I put X's in the table as placeholders. All pages in the article space that used to use these, such as Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, now use "Canadian party colour". —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 23:21, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, that's what I meant. Thanks for the example of usage. -- 70.24.247.127 (talk) 00:25, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've had 89 of these shortname templates deleted through speedy deletion over the last couple months, but a few deletion requests were declined, so I'm bringing the rest of them here.

Delete. Completely unnecessary as a template or a redirect. The new template handles these functions perfectly. 117Avenue (talk) 04:57, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't really understand the point of having limited-use templates when we have a much more versatile one. They are not duplicates of the party colour template, so they don't qualify for speedy. Nyttend (talk) 14:38, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
