Template:SDMTS_Signs:Amtrak-20px

Seemingly unused templates made only of non-free images that can't be used in templates. BJBot just went and broke them all and I have no intention of fixing pointless templates. BJ^Talk 10:31, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all I am guessing they were used before when the images were there, but since the images are non-free, these templates lose their usefulness.--Crzy cheetah 22:04, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

relisting not really for consensus but for completing the nomination by adding {{tfd}} to the templates. Nabla (talk) 22:52, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - if the images can't be used in templates, I fail to see how these templates could ever be useful. Terraxos (talk) 01:23, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Circle1

These two templates seem rather odd. They are orphaned and only consist of a parameter with the name of the other template. RichardΩ612 Ɣ |ɸ 22:12, May 14, 2008 (UTC)

Delete as orphan. Weird but probably just an experiment. --Lenticel ^(talk) 00:09, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Test? CWii_{(Talk|Contribs)} 01:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a possible test. It doesn't seem to serve any purpose either. Midorihana^{contribs~ userpage} 06:42, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, seems like a test page / template. Cheers. _{Trance addict - Tiesto - Above and Beyond} 21:56, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Cariba Heine

One line of article content about a NN subject. Not acceptable as an article, equally unacceptable here — RichardΩ612 Ɣ |ɸ 22:02, May 14, 2008 (UTC)

Delete as redundant to Template:Infobox actor.--Lenticel ^(talk) 00:14, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, redundant. Cheers. _{Trance addict - Tiesto - Above and Beyond} 21:56, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:CRcolour

Orphaned template for a hex colour code that can be typed manually into articles getting the code from others on the subject. Standardisation is good, but templates for hex codes are overkill. RichardΩ612 Ɣ |ɸ 21:56, May 14, 2008 (UTC)

Redirect to operational template (Template:Caledonian colour) now provided. --Stewart^(talk) 05:29, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Beta Version 2.0 release

Orphaned, and this is trivial to add into any articles that require it. This doesn't need a template.. RichardΩ612 Ɣ |ɸ 21:45, May 14, 2008 (UTC)

Delete Orphaned, useless. CWii_{(Talk|Contribs)} 01:02, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, orphan. Cheers. _{Trance addict - Tiesto - Above and Beyond} 21:56, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Rdt

Anachronic template with a strange name. Not transcluded anywhere and not substed (I believe). It is a Wikipedia's self reference. — Kubanczyk (talk) 18:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Unused, strange, and appears to be long since abandoned. JPG-GR (talk) 19:32, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the three best reasons to delete a template: redundant, unused and superceded. RichardΩ612 Ɣ |ɸ 21:33, May 14, 2008 (UTC)

Template:Los Angeles Lakers franchise

The same template already exists; incorrect name for template. ● 8 ~Hype ^@ 16:51, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - practically an exact copy of an existing template. RichardΩ612 Ɣ |ɸ 17:25, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as redundant. JPG-GR (talk) 19:33, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Warning4

The template is apparently supposed to be used for warning vandals but it is not very well designed, it consists solely of an image of a stoplight with the text "Warning". It serves no purpose not better served by the standard warning templates. The template is sparsely used (only 4 translusions) so other than a minutes work its deletion will not have any negative externalities. -Icewedge (talk) 02:07, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I created the template because I prefer to write a custom warning reason (I rarely get involved in simple vandal patrol so my warnings tend to be toward long-term users with significant problems, see WP:DTTR) and I find the iconography of the usual warnings to be overly aggressive. To be honest, though, I use {{Warning5}} and {{Warning3}} much more than #4. Thatcher 11:04, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:PageTabs/tabs

sub page blank and not needed. – ThatWikiGuy (talk | life | I'm watching you!) 14:42, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

--
This page is not blank. It is used specifically to provide a working example for someone using the PageTabs macro to see exactly how the system is used. It provides a fully working and clear example of how to use the system. It is there because the PageTabs system is not necessarily easy to use. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) (talk) 17:23, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you could have some information, instead of just the tabs, or even just latin text. – ThatWikiGuy (talk | life | I'm watching you!) 18:02, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Foreignchar

Even though it's pretty logical to have an canonicalized (transliterated) redirect to an title, there is no reason to point that out at all on the article in question (unless there direct reason to point it out, i.e. if an entity has official both types used).. _→AzaToth 22:09, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Too widely used. More discussion needed. RyanGerbil10(Kick 'em in the Dishpan!) 04:49, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ~~~~

Delete. Looking at previous discussions on this subject, it is suprising that no one (so far) responded to this nomination. However, I think it is time to delete this template. As someone said in a previous discussion: The use of {{foreignchar}} in a hatnote gives unwarranted prominence to a minor point. I believe that in most cases a comment on the use of "foreign" characters is not required. And in articles for which the transliteration of the name is not obvious, common transliterations could be listed in the article lead (as in the article on Rudolf Höß). --Kildor (talk) 14:56, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The template {{foreignchars}} should be considered for deletion as well. --Kildor (talk) 14:56, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
