used in one article, so should be simply merged with the parent article. no need to keep it in a separate template. Frietjes (talk) 23:33, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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

Unused. While we have a number of links to the target site, the format does not lend itself to templating them. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:52, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

comment, might be useful to have something like {{OSTI url}} or {{cite OSTI}}, but since this isn't used, no reason to keep it (or repurpose it) at the moment. Frietjes (talk) 22:25, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

comment. I see the parallel with {{cite doi}}; however as {{cite doi}} is not used anymore and instead of it should be used {{cite journal}} with doi parameter, it is the same for OSTI as osti parameter is incorporated into {{cite journal}}. Therefore, deleting seems to be the best option. Beagel (talk) 16:04, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Question of Sport (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

We don't have cast and crew in navboxes per longstanding consensus. A navbox just detailing presenters and panelists in a game show is just an extension of the same principle. Navboxes like this just encourage WP:TEMPLATECREEP and put WP:UNDUE weight on certain performances of an entertainer over others. For the same reason we have the guideline WP:PERFCAT for categories. Note a number of similar navboxes have recently been deleted. Rob Sinden (talk) 13:25, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot this stuff was left over from the AfD.

External link template. Target site uses its own IDs, but appears to simply republish Wikipedia's content and links. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:52, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

archINFORM indeed uses Wikipedia's entries, but furthermore has a lot of own data (very varying in size/language). The database is pretty well known in the Architecture community (esp. German spoken areas). Template is useful, but should only be applieed to entries, where archINFORM delivers additional content. --Arch2all (talk) 08:05, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Whether or not these links are appropriate is a content question that is beyond the scope of TfD as I understand it. As long as articles use the template (and there are more than 300 of them [1]) we shouldn't touch it. Uanfala (talk) 20:39, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Lack of use is not the only deletion rationale, and used templates are often deleted as being inappropriate. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 00:33, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Provisional keep This one needs to be documented to only be used for the site's unique material, not its WP rehash. If these pages are distinguishable by URL, then template should be recoded to not permit the WP-rehash pages to be used (even if it means changing the input of the 200 current uses). If after 6 months it is mostly used to WP:CIRCULAR-cite WP for itself, then it should probably be deleted. This raises the question of whether the source is actually reliable for what it publishes itself. If it's not, then we don't need a citation template for it. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 00:33, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
