Template for company that doesn't have an article. In fact one of the linked articles doesn't mention the owner. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 22:52, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This was created when the company had stations in multiple markets. Now they have just the four in the Hagerstown, Maryland market. As the creator of this template, I have no objections to it being deleted. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 22:55, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Atari game lists by platform (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Way too broad for a template: Atari platforms. Is rarely used, and there are categories for the respective lists of games released on platforms. Soetermans. T / C 16:36, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Expanding on my reasons why: the template isn't used much, not even on the links provided by the template. Better yet, there's {{Video game lists by platform}}, which lists every list of video game release per platform, making a line by one company redundant. --Soetermans. T / C 14:18, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep How is this broad? It list all the game list articles for each Atari game system. Being way too broad is Template:Video game lists by platform. Why is that being used in these articles, instead of the one that just list the relevant information? Why have that massive list of unrelated things, instead of focusing only on those in the Atari family? Dream Focus 16:50, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Supermarkets in Europe templates (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

A navbox to link together navboxes? Is this really necessary? At what point do we get down the navbox rabbit hole? Would suggest a navbox subcategory would be better, if Category:Supermarket templates (which already contains all of those templates linked here) itself doesn't suffice.

Delete and use a category instead. Doesn't seem likely that someone would be reading the template for one country's supermarkets and say "hey, I wonder what other ones we have?" (navbox to get from one to another) as compared to "I'm looking to see if we have a certain one" (directly going to cat of all actually created ones). The templates' docs can all have a pointer to the cat if one wishes to emphasize the range of availability. DMacks (talk) 16:30, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

weak delete, I see no real harm here if it's only be used in template space, but, given the small number of links, a category would work as well. Frietjes (talk) 19:27, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete, with the main concerns being harassment and grave dancing. (non-admin closure) Primefac (talk) 06:34, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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

This just constitutes WP:HARASSMENT for banned editors, because when they're banned, they're notified, and when this template is used when they engage in sock puppetry, they be like "I already know I'm banned, so what!?". This would fit better as an user warning, but there is still no need to use this everytime a banned user engages in sock puppetry. TL22 (talk) 13:18, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

See previous discussions here and here. BethNaught (talk) 13:50, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with {{sockpuppeteer}} and/or {{banned user}}. Standalone it's just a completely pointless piece of crap. --189.25.195.239 (talk) 14:16, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with {{banned user}} or a similar template so the post-merge template includes the text "any edits made in violation of a ban may be reverted" or a similar phrase. Okay with Keep (if kept, consider changing the color scheme from red to grey). Not okay with "delete without providing a replacement that clearly indicates to everyone else that this editor's edits may be reverted". Side-note: I agree with the nominator that the red color and having two templates that both say "banned" on the user's talk page gives the appearance of harassment. The fix is to change the layout and presentation of the messages to both the banned editor ("you are banned") and to the community ("he is banned, his edits may be reverted"), not the meaning of those messages. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 18:32, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment See Template:Banned user/testcases for an example of how we can keep the existing template but make it look less intimidating to the banned editor. Note - ideally, the "big red box" that is now {{BannedMeansBanned}} would be neutral grey and it might not even be a box - it might just be text intended to be transcluded into other templates such as {{Banned user}}. I think "Banned user" is the only template that transcludes this one but it's hard to be sure. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 19:01, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, useful navigational aid, clearly passes three of the five criteria on WP:NAVBOX, and arguably meets the other two (3 and 5) too. Perfectly standard use of a navbox. There is no added notability requirement for navbox eligibility beyond it linking more than two articles, so I would argue he is such a director who warrants a template.

Pointless template. It started out just calling two other templates which were navboxes at Fifty Shades of Grey which wasn't useful. Since then, it has grown even less useful as it now simply invokes Template:Fifty Shades (trilogy). I've changed it's only use to invoke that template directly in the Fifty Shades article so this template is not used any more. Whpq (talk) 06:11, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment true, but I see this template as being redundant. The description includes "relating to diseases of animals" for Veterinary medicine stubs. If the animal disease template were to be used, I think the diseases in the veterinary medicine stubs should be moved over to the animal disease stub category and the veterinary medicine stub description would have to be edited. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:56, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
