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

I see little reason for this template to exist. From a technical standpoint, it's more labour-intensive; consider even the simplest case using the redirect, {{b.|2017}}, which is two characters longer than (b. 2017) The abbr is rather unnecessary, since "John Smith (b. 1944)" is not an unusual abbreviation to encounter in normal speech (i.e. no one is going to wonder what "b." means). The more esoteric uses of this template further add another layer of silliness to it (e.g. {{b.|yob=2017|pfx=exp}} → (born 2017)). With only 20 transclusions after four years of existence, I think the answer to "will people use it" is "no". Primefac (talk) 23:33, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and redirect to Template:Recent birth, which is what it did until a few weeks ago. p b p 23:52, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- For the record, I asked to take the template over since {{born}} is preferable to {{b.}} as a base page name. This template is proving to be less useful than I initially expected, so I'm not opposed to returning it to its former purpose. Primefac (talk) 01:13, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
replace with simple text, and delete, we don't need it. Frietjes (talk) 15:58, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and redirect (along with its redirects) to Template:Recent birth. It's not hugely useful and has been made infinitely more complicated by an IP user who will not compromise. M.Clay1 (talk) 01:09, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, apparently a misunderstanding of what templates are meant for. No use outside that article (and preciously little within it, given the lack of references). Huon (talk) 13:35, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Diane Renay (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

There isn't much benefit for a navigation box with articles only for one album and one song from that album. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 00:33, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that there isn't much there. However, I am planning on soon creating a page for "Kiss Me Sailor," which was a second Top 30 hit for her in the US. If that page were created and the link were added, would the navbox then be acceptable? If not, I see nothing wrong with its deletion. Thanks for pointing it out. -Anotheronewiki (talk) 00:56, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just added link to "Kiss Me Sailor" -- do 3 links make it worthwhile to keep? -Anotheronewiki (talk) 15:41, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

delete, the articles are already well-connected. Frietjes (talk) 15:59, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
delete; I see and agree with what you're saying. I'm happy to delete it if you tell me how to do it.

I created this template not being aware of Template:EPGC champions and its sister templates. Therefore ruling my newly created template redundant and ready for removal. --Wesalius (talk) 08:41, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
