Unused, doesn't seem to be something that we do Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 04:25, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • @TenPoundHammer: Obviously unused as it is supposed to be on articles which have been tagged for speedy deletion, and if the article is then not deleted it is likely to be heavily rewritten to make it presentable. It is going to be difficult to see whether this is being used by others, including those who may not have the template itself on the watchlist (I don't have this on my watchlist!). Deletion may come as a big surprise to them. --Dirk Beetstra T C 08:44, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but modify to function as {{Redacted|Spam}}, which is a near-duplicate ... the function here can be replicated by using {{redacted}} with the primary argument of "Spam". I have used this template before; but as pointed out, those uses are either in deleted pages or in pages which get re-written to eliminate the material that was redacted. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 22:46, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • @TenPoundHammer: Obviously unused as it is supposed to be substed. We do blank spammy (parts of) articles, I personally do not use the template though. It is going to be near impossible to see whether this however is being used by others, including those who may not have the template itself on the watchlist (I don't have this on my watchlist!).

The result of the discussion was no consensus. Feel free to mark it as historical Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 23:51, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This template should be deleted as it is redundant to the "Contest this speedy deletion" button found on most {{db}} templates and is not used any more in Mainspace (as the template has been deprecated). The category that this template populated, Category:Contested candidates for speedy deletion was deleted at CFD (link) so this template should be deleted too. -KAP03(Talk • Contributions • Email) 00:59, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as historical or at least redirect. Not only has it been used in the history of countless rescued articles, but older editors may still be using it (pretty sure I used it on behalf of someone in the last month or 2). — xaosflux Talk 02:06, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete to prevent confusion and ease in deprecation. As it populates a blank category, it could probably qualify for G8 were it not for its long history. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 04:26, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm fine with having it no longer populate the category. — xaosflux Talk 11:09, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would intend to say 'keep' as well. People seeing old revisions of deleted pages to re-assess viability would get a better presentation if the template still exists (the template takes a 'reason' parameter which may have been used by the editor to explain - though it is of course still visible in the wiki markup). --Dirk Beetstra T C 08:59, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mark as historical within the template. The template might still be useful for reasons mentioned above but it should clearly state that it should no longer be used and that adding it is not sufficient without commenting at the talk page. Regards SoWhy 13:25, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete pages should only be marked historical if they are functional. this maintenance template has be obsoleted and no longer functional.68.151.25.115 (talk) 16:48, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Some users are still using this, and indeed I see no reason to deprecate it. I encountered a proper use use just today on The Paper Melody. Actually i think this is better than the method used by the button on the DB tempaltes -- it catches the reviewing admin's eye better. The button should be changed to use this template.
