The result of the debate was redirect to Template:Cycling federations. — Malcolm (talk) 00:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Template:UCI confederations (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Deprecated, {{Cycling federations}} covers the same navigation. — Severo^TC 23:36, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect to {{Cycling federations}}. –Dream out loud (talk) 16:31, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect as recommended above. The two templates are almost the same, except the new one has a larger font for the member associations so it is easier to read. The first template is not used at all, the second is used in only six articles, and making a redirect does not require deletion, so this is not a high-risk decision. I suggest that the template be edited to spell out 'Union Cycliste Internationale' in full. EdJohnston 14:55, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect as per nom. --Kralizec! (talk) 19:37, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Template:Infobox City Kosovo (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

• Delete. Redundant. All instances have been converted to the more generic {{Infobox Settlement}}. — Andy Mabbett 22:45, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. —MJCdetroit 01:15, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Template:E3 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

E3 is a one-time a year event, therefore this template is used one time a year. This isn't doesn't appear to be useful at all. Articles get updated with E3 news, and that's just fine. A special template to point out it's a game showcased at E3 isn't very helpful. — RobJ1981 22:17, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - correct referencing can do the job just as well. Especially since E3 isn't that huge an event any more... Giggy _U^CP 22:36, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - no longer as important as it once was. Andre (talk) 22:41, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - There is just no need or practical use for this template any more. DarkSaber2k 23:21, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Speedy delete. The template was created by a blocked user using a sock puppet (CSD G5). Having a userfied template under a sockpuppet's username doesn't strike me as a good idea. The template is also unused, meaning that there is no benefit to keeping it. Note that this doesn't stop someone else from recreating the template in their userspace. Mike Peel 08:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Template:Free Palestine (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

First, in the wrong namespace, and second, as a userbox, does not satisfy Wikipedia:Userbox_policy#Content_restrictions. — deeptrivia (talk) 06:59, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

• Userfy. This is potentially problematic in template space, but there's nothing wrong with having it around in user space. It should also be renamed with the "User" prefix, of course. -- Gavia immer (talk) 13:38, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, but rename to user space. I don't think this box qualifies for incivility or being inflammatory. Sverre 17:38, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment: The rules for making templates further say: "Wikipedia is not an appropriate place for propaganda, advocacy, or recruitment of any kind, commercial, political, religious, or otherwise, opinion pieces on current affairs or politics, self-promotion, or advertising." Do we still have those political userboxes any more? If so in what space? User space probably. So, this one has to go in every case. deeptrivia (talk) 06:24, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

• Userfy. I can only see this as divisive to trolls. No good editor should be getting high blood pressure from this userbox. --- RockMFR 17:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, we have the "this user supports the zionist movement" but we can't have this one? If you want to change the title go right ahead but don't delete it as I beleive it will only increase tensions.-Vmrgrsergr 21:59, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: I believe that the Zionist template to which you refer is User:UBX/Zionist, which exists in user space. Those saying “userfy” are calling for Template:Free Palestine to be similarly moved into user space. —SlamDiego_←T 22:54, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

• Be consistent, whatever that entails. —SlamDiego_←T 22:04, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

• Rename and userfy per WP:UBX#Which namespace.3F. heqs ·:. 01:51, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

• • Comment: i support then changing to user:UBX/Palestine or something of that sort.-Vmrgrsergr 03:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

• Keep and rename to {{User Free Palastine}}. –Dream out loud (talk) 16:33, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Did you mean {{User Free Palestine}}? 199.125.109.65 22:38, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

• Userfy as per Gavia immer above. --Kralizec! (talk) 19:39, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
• Userfy to User:UBX. Miranda 05:30, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

• Comment This template was created by Vmrgrsergr, a sockpuppet of the banned User:Nadirali. According to wikipedia policy on speedy deletion (see 1.1.5), this by itself is sufficient for speedy deletion of this template. If anyone is inclined to make this template again in user:UBX space, that should be fine. deeptrivia (talk) 17:23, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

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

Delete This template is redundant. Template:WP Australia is more appropriate and allows identification of WikiProject Gold Coast, Queensland articles. — Nicko 02:13, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as redundant.--cj | talk 11:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as it has been replaced by the following code: {{WP Australia|Gold Coast=yes}}. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Gold Coast#Project Banner. –Dream out loud (talk) 16:41, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Template:Drill (UK Band) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

navbox with solely redlinks. we don't need navboxes that don't navigate.. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 19:12, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom and redlinks. Giggy _U^CP 22:37, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom due to amount of redlinks. –Dream out loud (talk) 16:43, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Even were half the redlinks fleshed out, they don't look like they'd survive. MrZaius^talk 15:57, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per User:Giggy and User:Dream out loud. Too many redlinks to justify a navigation box. EdJohnston 15:09, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Template:Jeffree Star (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This is just one of those navboxes created for the sole purpose of: "all the other artitsts have one, so my favourite artist should have one as well". This is all nicely linked in the main article Jeffree Star the navbox serves no navigational purpose.. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 19:08, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete The artist doesn't have remotely enough material associated to merit a template. Snuppy 22:04, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
