No transclusions, documentation, or incoming links from discussions. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:52, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per nomination. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:26, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete due to dependency on deleted Template:Solarterm. Not sure if this is supposed to display the ganzhi or what (no way to tell anymore), but I'm not seeing in the code any dynasties or era names so it's unclear how useful this ever would have been.

Part of a set of templates that has recently been deprecated. As templates in this group are converted to the newer format and become unused, they can be deleted in batches. This is the next batch. A couple of these templates have a single-digit number of transclusions in sandboxes and test pages, so they might need to go to the holding cell when the TFD is over. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:46, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. The subst versions of Template:BS/safesubst etc. can probably also be nominated. Gonnym (talk) 17:22, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- Subpages are typically deleted with their parent pages, so I did not nominate them. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:15, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep all - the RFC stated the old template style is deprecated, not deleted, and the recommendation was "I would recommend that BS-map's code be retained and archived for historical reference". There are many uses of the old templates that should not be changed for change's sake, especially in talk pages etc. — Voice of Clam (talk) 08:44, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Additional comment - this appears to be a backdoor deletion of {{BS-map}} (which has already been unsuccessfully nominated for deletion), since that template is designed to use these. — Voice of Clam (talk) 14:04, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- "Deprecated" in software, which is where we are, means that new instances of the code are discouraged, existing uses of the code are updated to the new syntax, and then at some point, the deprecated code is eliminated entirely. This nomination is part of that normal process. It is no different from any other deprecation that happens here on Wikipedia. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:15, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- The additional personal recommendation by the closer was completely out of place. There was absolutely no consensus in the actual RfC for such a thing and if they felt that was what should happen, they should have participated in the RfC instead of closing it with that statement. Gonnym (talk) 17:46, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- As the closer, sometimes in my closing statements, I do place recommendations on how to execute consensus. I don't see this as out of place, especially considering that I have never commented on this matter prior to closing this RFC, but if you do, feel free to disregard it.

- As the creator of some of these I'm happy that they should go if no longer required, however I would accept that unless there is a need for them to be deleted then retaining them for archival use (as per Voice of Clam) seems sensible. --AlisonW (talk) 13:26, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per nomination. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:25, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- delete no longer needed. if necessary, we can always update the conversion module to convert these even if they (and the safesubst versions) are deleted. Frietjes (talk) 16:42, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete And I say this as someone who opposed the BS-map deprecation. The English Wikipedia is not a code repository and archiving code for historical reference is simply not done here, especially since deletions aren't even permanent and any admin can view deleted content. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:29, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
