Apparently this template has never been used in its 4 years of existence: [1] Illia Connell (talk) 19:05, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In the increasingly robotified Wikipedia, a manual welcome template is a nice way to greet a colleague. Unfortunately, this template seems to be unused by the stats folk. It is reasonable to delete unused templates. But there is always the possibility that people just don't know about it. For instance, this template is neither mentioned at Wikipedia:WikiProject Statistics nor Wikipedia:WikiProject Statistics/Templates. I'd also include this TfD in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Statistics/Article alerts section if this is not done automatically. --Mark viking (talk) 19:56, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NENAN, contains only three links. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 17:06, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as there is very little to navigate. And although offtopic for this forum, with only two games, I'm not even convinced a "series" article is even needed. -- Whpq (talk) 21:07, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Flynn Adam (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

All of the articles on subtopics of Flynn Adam have been deleted; the template is no longer sufficiently populated to justify inclusion. Neelix (talk) 15:20, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Concur - Though articles were deleted after creation of the navbox, I concur with its deletion due to the number of articles that currently exist.

BTW, the TfD for {{Rozz Williams}} has been open for over one month. When will it be dispositioned? --Jax 0677 (talk) 15:43, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: if it isn't serving a use then let's free some server space. MIVP - (Can I Help? ◕‿◕) (Maybe a bit of tea for thought?) 19:49, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Came across this old template which didn't make any sense to me, have no idea what it's used for if anything. XapApp · talk · contribs 08:06, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's coding for a certain colour background, if it's got a # then a small sequence of numbers and letters after it like this template does then it's coding for a certain coloured background. ~~In my opinion in this case the dependency of whether it should be deleted or not depends on how much it is used. Until we know how much it is being used I will hold a Neutral position.~~ MIVP - (Can I Help? ◕‿◕) (Maybe a bit of tea for thought?) 13:48, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is possible to check whether it is being used first, and nominators should ensure the nomination does not break the existing transclusions (which this one did; I've now fixed it). This is used to colour table cells, and while it has less than ten transclusions it certainly has a purpose. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 14:31, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Given god knows how many User Talks use this template I am jumping over to Keep. MIVP - (Can I Help? ◕‿◕) (Maybe a bit of tea for thought?) 19:45, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're misreading the links list. The vast majority of those are just links and not transclusions, caused by the transclusion of {{User:IvoShandor/Census template}}. The template is transcluded at Wikipedia:WikiProject Illinois/Participants, but that's a single page (albeit one with lots of uses).

Redundant to Template:Trace Adkins. Eric444 (talk) 05:12, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: While all of the things it links to are in the blue I don't think that there's enough in two of the three sections to justify it being kept. MIVP - (Can I Help? ◕‿◕) (Maybe a bit of tea for thought?) 13:48, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reduntant to Template:Kenny Chesney singles. Eric444 (talk) 05:07, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: While I was originally going to vote keep because unlike the other TfD today that is of a Number 1 Singles this template actually holds a fairly large number of songs (I count 16 to the 5 in the other template up for TfD) and would serve more of a useful purpose than the burden on the servers that it is to keep it what is said about it being redundant compared to the other Chesney template it makes sense to delete this. The other template has more in it and is better organised. MIVP - (Can I Help? ◕‿◕) (Maybe a bit of tea for thought?) 13:48, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
