Keep Still used on lots of pages. Users might have forgot to remove the template after discussions have been closed. The pages which use the template should be checked for problems before the template is deleted. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:44, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete And responding to User:Stefan2, the notice was placed in the caption field of an infobox in three articles, and remained after their discussions closed even though the link to the image was removed. With no image, the caption didn't display. I've removed these tree uses. All the remainders are talk archives, where it never should have been placed in the first place, and it won't do any harm to red link them. If you're really worried, we can request that Anomiebot subst them. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 21:13, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Substitution would be better in that case in my opinion. I don't think that it's a good idea to create lots of unnecessary red links in talk page archives. --Stefan2 (talk) 21:30, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay, page is now in Category:Wikipedia templates to be automatically substituted and the bots should have it done shortly. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 21:36, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Oiyarbepsy: For the future, please wait for the TfD to be concluded before orphaning a template, since orphaning a template can influence the result. At this point, there's zero transclusions, so this is open and shut. It may have been less so if transclusions remained, though - who knows. ~ Rob^Talk 22:48, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicates {{Princes of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha}}. DrKay (talk) 18:40, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's a useless template. Cristiano Tomás (talk) 21:50, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- keep it - the Koháry branch is one of three cadet branches of the House of Sachsen-Coburg. There is the ducal line (which became then the British line), there is the belgian line and the Koháry line. There is a template for the Belgian royal family as well as one for the British and ducal line. All of these templates would be just duplicates then. Rovere (talk) 08:12, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - The Kohary line is also shown on the same template as the British and ducal line. Hence, it is a duplication. The Belgian royal family template is not a duplication because Prince Lorenz of Belgium and his children are not Saxe-Coburgs, and so the people on that template are different.

Template:Puf log (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

All discussions at WP:PUF are now closed. No one will remove the header on the daily subpages anymore. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 17:43, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is not something which should be 'removed' on pages - it's a template which is added at the top of all new log pages using {{subst:puf log}}, and the substituted template should remain there forever for easy navigation between different PUF pages. Since it has been substituted on all pages, the template doesn't seem to be needed. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:42, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Subst and delete. No longer necessary to maintain this. ~ Rob^Talk 20:43, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- There's nothing to substitute as there are no transclusions. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:46, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm more-or-less endorsing the fact that it was already substituted. In the future, of course, editors should not mass-substitute all transclusions of a template until a TfD concludes that this should happen. ~ Rob^Talk 22:50, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - I'm not sure if there has ever been any transclusions of this template. The bot which created the daily log pages AFAIK always substituted the template. --Stefan2 (talk) 23:14, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:WikiProject Language revival (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Empty template (content consists only of the template's own name), referring to a WikiProject that doesn't exist. Created erroneously by newcomer. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:44, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Revise and keep Whether a newbie created the template (and if he did, fair dues, it's not so easy to work out how to do it) this template can easily and usefully be populated. Language Revival is an important area. I agree of course that there is no WikiProject, but a Language Revival template is a good idea. -- Evertype·✆ 12:37, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Uhm, the purpose of a "WikiProject" template is to note that a page is within the scope of a certain WikiProject. If no such WikiProject exists, what use could the template possibly be? (Beyond duplicating the function of a Category:Language revival on the article page). Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:13, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Rui En (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

A mass of linkless black text, with only 4 proper links, and 1 improper link. The improper link to L'Oreal is not useful navigation. -- 70.51.46.195 (talk) 07:04, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Istanbul Open tournaments (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

NAVBOX with only one entry. If the 2016 tournament is added, then it is 2. Still too few. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 03:35, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The tournament start on 2015, it is normal to have only 2 entry. --Vencin (talk) 11:49, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:2019 in space (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Way Too soon and essentially blank and unused. This template should be recreated near 2019 when more info is available. Davidbuddy9 Talk 04:37, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - agree, way way too soon. Probably recreate near the end of 2018. Fyunck(click) (talk) 05:12, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:CBALL. jps (talk) 17:39, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I created the template, just because this series of templates is intimately connected with Category:2019 in space, which someone had already started using (and all of whose members are presumably relevant to the template). All other xxxx in space categories have the template, so I was merely trying to observe the standard format for space-year categories. I don't hold strong views either way, I was just trying to be tidy and follow a well-established format. So I'd either keep both the category and the template, or delete both of them. But I would note that the nature of astronomical phenomnena means that they are predictable a long way in advance and people will create articles on eg a comet that will only be visible on Earth several years hence. So I'd suggest that they are OK per WP:CBALL - "All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred". It's the nature of astronomy that such events are foreseeable further into the future than events subject to human foibles - for instance, Category:Comets in 2018 already has 14 members. Le Deluge (talk) 01:10, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Categories are usually made before the templates are made, however there really is nothing useful to put in this template until a nearer date. Thats why I nominated this template for deletion. Plus these templates can easily be recreated in less then 10 minutes. Davidbuddy9 Talk 02:15, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - agree, way too soon.--DThomsen8 (talk) 02:22, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
