Orphaned and no longer used.. Tiggerjay (talk) 14:56, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete if orphaned, it looks like this solely had to do with the 50th anniversary celebrations. Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 02:49, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Surnames of the first German families in Puerto Rico

This pretty much defines single use template. We generally don't have articles on specific surnames unless they are famous in some way or very common. So this template will probably only be used on this particular article. Also, there is no sourcing attributed to it. I attempted to subst the template but it was reverted with the edit summary to the effect that this is a must so that the list can't be edited. As far as I know, that's not a legitimate use of a template. We're a wiki and nothing is set in stone. The only exceptions are for high use templates and this isn't high use. Subst and delete. See below for the proposal on another similar template. Woohookitty^Woohoo! 10:45, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The reason behind the creation of both templates is that it has helped to curtail the vandalism (which is so rampant in Wikipedia) of the sections in which they are posted. The verifiable sources to the names are provided and posted within the contents of the articles themselves. I will not object to the decision taken, however the nomination for deletion with the excuse that said templates occupy space seems to me more like "If I can't have things my way then I'll have it another way." I will comply with whatever decision is taken. Tony the Marine (talk) 17:22, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please assume good faith. I've been here way too long to feel like I need to use "excuses". I subst the template in anticipation of putting it here. It's a single use template and vandalism is not a reason to keep it in template space. Besides, I don't see that much vandalism to that section anyway. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 06:06, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Subst and delete per nom (single-use template). While I can sympathise with the reason for this template's creation, a template can be vandalised just as easily as an article. It's easier to watchlist, monitor, and edit just the article than to try to do the same for the article and the template. Black Falcon ^(Talk) 20:12, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
delete - no need for a template if it's only going to be used on one page --T-rex 23:19, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Surnames of the first Irish families in Puerto Rico

Similar to above. This is a single use template which probably just be subst and deleted. There is really no hope of it ever being spread in which case it is simply taking up space. No sourcing attributed to it either. Subst and delete — Woohookitty^Woohoo! 10:45, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Per above, see "Surnames of the first German families in Puerto Rico" Tony the Marine (talk) 17:24, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Subst and delete per my rationale above. Black Falcon ^(Talk) 20:13, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Userindef

Functionally redundant to about ten other specialized username block templates.. Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 09:42, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete We have far too many redundant indef block templates. Mr.Z-man 17:20, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unused template, schedule for a single radio station. — BlueAzure (talk) 01:27, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This doesn't seem necessary if it only applies to a single radio station. Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 02:48, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
