Template:I Am... Sasha Fierce (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Portions of template are redundant of Template:Beyoncé_Knowles_singles. In addition, the portions that aren't could easily fit into the template. | ^help_dןǝɥ | 23:10, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Same information that can be written in Template:Beyoncé Knowles singles and Template:Beyoncé Knowles. No need to share the information, two templates is sufficient. This version does not add any information for articles. Lucas Brígido ^msg 00:44, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:4 (Beyoncé Knowles album) (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

• Keep - Out of the 15 songs found on 4, only four are singles. Nine other songs have their own articles. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 05:22, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• • Note: Most of the time (with the exception of the The Beatles and other artists with 7 or more studio albums and articles for most/all tracks) the songs can fit in the singles template in the "Other songs" group. What about this case? | ^help_dןǝɥ | 05:54, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:European council institutions (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Yet another pointless navigation template. This one risks creating confusion between the Counsil of Europe and the European Union, whilst selectively listing certain institutions (and informal gatherings) of both. — Blue-Haired Lawyer ^t 20:19, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox North-East India (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused hardcoded geography infobox. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 11:40, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox South India (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Hardcoded template used only at South India. Should be replaced with a standard inline geography infobox. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 11:39, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Topics related to Technopark (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused, even at the parent article. A bit of a grab-bag of semirelated topics in a format predating navbox standardisation. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 11:38, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:South Asian television channels (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. Appears to have been superseded by more specific templates, as listing every TV channel in South Asia is probably rather excessive for one navbox. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 11:36, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment this is not a navbox the entire navbox is in a "noinclude" section. The only thing this does is:

Channels in {{tl|{{PAGENAME}}}} need to be split up per language into multiple templates. This template should not be transcluded directly

76.65.128.198 (talk) 06:08, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete this template makes no sense the way it is currently written. It's been written this way since 2007! 76.65.128.198 (talk) 06:08, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Openness (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused navbox Bulwersator (talk) 07:30, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• See last month's TfD. It appears that though said TfD didn't come to a consensus, work has been done to orphan this in favour of {{intellectual property activism}}, which seems to have been the right choice. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 11:24, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  Could you point out what work you're referring to? --Waldir ^talk 16:44, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Orders of magnitude (length) (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused, purpose unclear Bulwersator (talk) 07:28, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge with Template:Orders of magnitude (length) wide, and let editors select which one to use based on a switch. It serves the same purpose. 76.65.128.198 (talk) 06:15, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Orfu (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused, purpose unclear Bulwersator (talk) 07:28, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Presumably meant to be substituted, but the #time parserfunction hasn't been made subst-friendly, so it is broken. This leads me to believe no-one is using it, so it can safely be deleted. — This, that, and the other (talk) 00:22, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:OrganicBox abbreviations (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Orissa symbols (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused, purpose unclear Bulwersator (talk) 07:24, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The template is used in the article Orissa. It is in similar lines with Template:Kerala symbols. Hence, I have removed the Tfd tag from the template. -- Aarem ^(Talk) 08:17, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strange Bulwersator (talk) 10:59, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm taking the unusual step of reopening this as it's still only used on a single article. We do not habitually move all table content to templatespace. {{Kerala symbols}} should be a co-nom. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 11:33, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Subst and delete both templates. 76.65.128.198 (talk) 06:27, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Orr (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused, purpose unclear Bulwersator (talk) 07:23, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment this is always unused, it is a substitution template, says so right in the coding that does a subst check at the top. 76.65.128.198 (talk) 06:30, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I think it is broken, the template it depends, {{Orphaned replaced}}, was deleted. 76.65.128.198 (talk) 06:34, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Other BC routes (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Software screenshot rationale (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This is an excessively complicated FUR which has very low use because most software screenshots use either the general {{Non-free use rationale}} or in some rare cases {{Non-free image data}}. While one option would be to move software screenshots over, that would be time consuming, and there is nothing that this template would convey but a well filled out general Non-free use rationale would not convey.

In short this is a confusing and entirely redundant template.

If the consensus is for delete, I will personally ensure that the seven files currently using this (soon to be four) are converted properly. Sven Manguard Wha? 07:09, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• I can't see any compelling argument not to just use the standard FUR template here. The additional boilerplate about "not enabling users to create infringing copies of the software" is a little bizarre; it's difficult to come up with a situation where that would ever be possible from a screenshot.
