Template:Olympic Games Jeu de paume (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

No consensus back in March, but this time it should be deleted. Not useful for navigation, not necessary in any way, in fact not used at all. Punkmorten 23:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• delete, a half template someone never got to finishing 2.5 years ago; if it's really that critical to use (which it's not), it would take like 3 seconds to remake it. -Patstuart^{(talk)(contribs)} 10:32, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Template:Imidazopyridines (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Not used, redundant to Template:Imidazopyridine. Punkmorten 23:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. -Patstuart^{(talk)(contribs)} 10:34, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. I'm confused here. The version of the template that you didn't nominate contains more information (one more link, to ATC code N05), but I'm not sure what to make of the page that is linked. It looks like a long list of pharmaceuticals that is more expansive than the template, suggesting that either template is redundant to the list article? Can you comment? - Samsara (talk • contribs) 01:16, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Template:GLOCK uppercase (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Ordinarily it would be an editorial decision to remove this text from all Glock pistol pages. However there's a nested set of templates here, {{GLOCK uppercase}} inside {{GLOCK pistols}}, which is then transcluded into the articles proper. I don't believe this text is appropriate in the template; there's an argument, maybe, that it could go on the main Glock page. -- nae'blis 20:21, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, inappropriate use of a template. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 01:51, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
• I'm the creator of the template. Could you give me arguments on why it is inappropriate? I’m open to it, I just want to know. If deletion is decided, what about including the text about uppercasing right in the {{GLOCK pistols}} content?
  David Latapie (✒ | @) 06:17, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Because including the text in the template makes it difficult to edit from the article, and impossible to modify to work better with the existing text in the article. subst:'ing it into the articles would get the text in there and leave the possibility of modification, but I don't agree with the phrasing of this template either. Do we really need a template for every company that names its products with idiosyncratic capitalization? Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 16:22, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Hi David; I think a good analogous article would be SONY - the company is very consistent about using all capitals in their trademarked merchandise/publicity, but our article doesn't mention even mention it because it's a relatively minor marketing tactic (and the above all-caps version is just a redirect). I wouldn't personally oppose the text being included a mention on the Glock page, but you might want to bring it up on Talk:Glock first to demonstrate consensus. I think putting it on all models' pages is overkill, that's all. -- nae'blis 17:49, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
• Note No comment as to the verbiage of this template, but it is being used to add a consistant message to many realted pages, that's what templates are for after all, no? It would also be trivial to make an edit link appear that would edit the template. If the argument is that the text should simply be added to the 25+ articles it is in, that just makes it harder for editors to "fix" things about it, as they would start a fork unless appiled to all articles. — xaosflux ^Talk 04:14, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Delete There was another discussion on these types of templates here. There should be World Cup and club templates, and that's it. Allowing Euro, Confederations Cup, Copa America etc. templates will lead to footballer's pages being cluttered with unnecessary templates. For example, look at Shunsuke Nakamura's page.

Template:Semi-protection proposal (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This is an announcement for a recent policy proposal to semi-protect all policy pages. First, tags like this are arguably not the best way to announce a proposal (indeed, we have RFC and the Pump for a reason). And second, the proposal-as-written appears to have failed already, although some compromises are being discussed. At any rate we no longer need this template.

Template:This is a template (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

I think the text of the template alone, "This is a template. This template serves no other purpose than to notify Wikipedians that that this is another template, part of Wikipedia's growing collection of templates," is a good enough reason for its deletion. This template serves no purpose. Except to add to the template namespace. Might even be a good WP:BJAODN. Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 04:04, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, simply not funny enough for BJAODN. Now if it had been more like this:

This is not a template. If it were a template, it would be part of Wikipedia's growing collection of template messages. But it's not, so it's not.

That might actually have been a little funny, especially with the useful links. But it's not, so it's not. :) Xtifr _tälk 10:25, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
