Regardless of whether any other templates should be nominated too, delete this one.

Delete per prior discussion. Frietjes (talk) 14:43, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hold up. Maybe I'm too late given the deletion of the other templates, but the article just says that Worldcat Identities was replaced by WorldCat Entities. The links produced by this template appear to still "work", they just go to WorldCat Entities instead, which seems to provide similar data. Maybe there's a cause for *deprecation* of the template, but it probably shouldn't be outright deleted unless it was flat non-functional. (To let it still work in page histories, if nothing else.) Am I missing something here? @Kolja21, Frietjes, WikiCleanerMan, and Pppery:. (Wouldn't normally ping, but I see Frietjes is already going around deleting references, so figure that there'd be some urgency in acting sooner rather than later.) SnowFire (talk) 16:24, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We already have Template:WorldCat for WorldCat Entities, right? * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 16:25, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Pppery: So shouldn't we be doing a mass subst which changes, say, {{WorldCat author |lccn-n84066817 |Robert Hanhart} into {{WorldCat |id=lccn-n84066817 |name=Robert Hanhart}} then, rather than deleting the template outright? (Recent diff). SnowFire (talk) 17:03, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly. I supported deletion here because it seemed non-controversial following the deletion of two other templates at two prior TfDs, and don't really care what happens do the uses. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 17:06, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

per this discussion the problem isn't that we have two templates for the same thing, but that the link itself is of questionable value. also, in your example, the link is already in the {{authority control}} directly below. Frietjes (talk) 17:09, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The authority control template doesn't appear on mobile and I imagine has extremely little use on desktop. For authors who are both sufficiently obscure as to not really have good links on them and who also published a lot (classic case: academics publishing monographs & journal articles & the like), a Worldcat list of works can be a useful External Link IMO. SnowFire (talk) 17:21, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep with no objection to subst all uses with Worldcat per conversation above. I don't see why this potentially valid External Link should be subst'd, and the link also being in Authority Control isn't a strong objection if for some reason such a link is more relevant than usual and thus should appear more prominently / on mobile, per above examples. SnowFire (talk) 17:21, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- As a slight clarification, it seems that Frietjes already deleted all uses, so when I say "subst all uses" what I really mean is "bring the deleted versions back and then subst with the worldcat template" if desired. SnowFire (talk) 17:40, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - I have only deleted the ones that were irreparably broken, or where the link was also in the authority control directly below. I have kept a list of my edits and would be happy to undo them if this closes as keep or no consensus. Frietjes (talk) 17:48, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WorldCat Entities is a new project that produces other results (entities shows persons and organisations instead a list of works). In addition, like Frietjes pointed out, many links were broken or useless. Examples:
- Lebo Mathosa, WorldCat Identities ID np-mathosa%2C%2520lebo: 404 Not Found
- Stepperg a human settlement, WorldCat Identities ID viaf-238124342: Link to VIAF

The old IDs were mainly based on LCCN and VIAF so no information get lost. Last not least: We talking about 6 articles that are using this outdated template. For WorldCat Entities a new template should be created. --Kolja21 (talk) 19:22, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
