This is an unused template now. All of the schools listed are long-standing red links or are articles that were recently deleted through PRODS. Liz Read! Talk! 21:43, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:TFD#REASONS number 3: "The template is not used, either directly or by template substitution (the latter cannot be concluded from the absence of backlinks), and has no likelihood of being used." This appears to be about a non-notable high school athlete since the new user who created this has also edited Newman Catholic High School (Iowa), and there is an athlete at that school by the name of Dylan Prestholt.

The result of the discussion was keep. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 23:52, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unused, two redirects, and one red link. Not enough for a navbox. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:04, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure a province would have a lot of potential articles to be added.† Encyclopædius 21:05, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It would but there isn't a lot of information currently and the navbox doesn't help given the current limitations. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:44, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The template is now used in six articles. Coverage of this region is still atrocious, given its size and history. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:50, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We can close this discussion as the template has been cleaned up and is being used across six articles. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:40, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per the diligence of Aymatth2, it does indeed have very poor coverage and should be expanded, not deleted.† Encyclopædius 17:15, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Windows NT

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template(s) or module(s) below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was delete. Izno (talk) 20:02, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If there is one thing that Wikipedia has too many, it is navboxes for Windows articles. To wit, {{Windows 7}}, {{Windows 8}}, {{Windows 10}}, {{Windows 10 version history}}, {{Windows 11}}, {{Windows 11 version history}}, {{Windows Mobile}}, {{Windows Phone}}, {{Windows tablets}}, {{Windows Vista}}, {{Windows XP}}, and of course {{Microsoft Windows family}}.

So, someone thought it is good idea to make this template too! It's bulky, ugly, and redundant; plus, it resorts to the poseur's trick of coupling the dead-and-buried "NT" designation to modern versions of Windows. Links in this template randomly go anywhere. In one case, "NT" goes to Windows Vista. In another, "NT" goes to Windows 7. And so on. "10.0.x" once goes to Windows Server 2016 and another time to Windows Server. To prevent its deletion, the creator has resorted to a dishonest trick: He added {{oldtfdfull}} to the template's talk page to dupe us into thinking that this template survived a deletion on 2021 June 28. Waysidesc (talk) 11:05, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: I've struck out parts of the original proposal that are no longer relevant. Now, the template is just redundant all the above. I still don't think plastering articles with linkboxes is good contribution. Waysidesc (talk) 18:29, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Template:2014 Oakland mayoral election vote count by round

The result of the discussion was delete. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 23:59, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This should be substituted on the 2014 Oakland mayoral election article and removed from Libby Schaff's article. Election results are not a good use of template space. This is information that belongs on an article as part of the article. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:38, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as a valid template used on multiple articles. I don't see a clear reason why this shouldn't be on Libby Schaaf's article, and it's not really justified to remove templates from articles just so they become single-use and can be subst- and deleted. There is no scarcity of template space. Elli (talk | contribs) 13:26, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Substitute and delete. This level of detail is excessive for anywhere but the election article itself; Schaff's biography should only contain a simple prose summary linked to the election, making this a single use template. wjematherplease leave a message... 09:45, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Remove from Libby's article and subst to the election one. I agree with Wjemather about the excessive amount of detail for her article and also agree that a prose summary is what belongs there instead. Gonnym (talk) 20:58, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was no consensus. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 23:53, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Used in the creator's sandbox and on one article. No good reason to maintain a custom template and module for so few uses. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:35, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - This template links to a scholarly version of many Jewish commentaries to the Bible (and English translations of some of the commentaries). Similar to Template:Bibleverse, it provides a simple and authoritative link to use instead of a plaintext reference. Thus, it is appropriate to be used in hundreds or thousands of references currently found in various Wikipedia:WikiProject Judaism articles. So far I have only used it in one place, and it is not well known so nobody else has used it, but it has the potential to be used much more widely. If I find time someday, I may do so myself. Ar2332 (talk) 13:03, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I just added the template in two more places, and in doing so, I discovered and fixed a copyright violation (the translation linked to by the template was being used without attribution as Wikipedia text). I think that demonstrates the template's value. Ar2332 (talk) 06:34, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm conflicted here. I can see the potential in such a template, however after 4 months it is only used in two pages. Such low usage does not need a template and usages can be done manually. Gonnym (talk) 09:05, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
How much usage do you think is necessary for it to remain? I have added it in some more places, now it is used in about 10 pages and about 20 times overall. In the course of making these edits I discovered and removed more plagiarism... Ar2332 (talk) 11:24, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
For me that's at least ok for now for a keep as the template is still less than a year old. Good job adding it to more articles. Gonnym (talk) 10:49, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
