The Weevils do not have an individual article, making this template's use and existence questionable. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 22:14, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. If there is not an article on this subset of episodes, then a navbox is inappropriate. A lot of these villain based navbox subsets are all a bit WP:FANCRUFTy anyway. --woodensuperman 12:08, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused citation template. Gonnym (talk) 13:14, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So is the intent to remove the documented patterned behavior of templates in Category:Dictionary source templates such as {{Cite DCBL}} and {{DCBL}}? I agree it's not an obvious behavior, obvious documentation, or obvious pattern, but there's a better reason to open discussion to break it than to delete an individual member of the category for being "unused".
This mass push for deletion of templates based solely on usage, without regard to context, seems out of order, particularly since that the mass list of nominations makes it more difficult for editors to make case by case considerations. In such a case, we should judge that either you have carefully considered your entire list is in order and ready for review, or it is not. SamuelRiv (talk) 18:27, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as unused; created in 2018, so it does not appear to be useful to anyone. There is no "mass push for deletion of templates". There was one a few years ago, when a group of editors found a report that listed thousands of orphaned templates. At that time, the TFD list sometimes exceeded 400 or 500 listings; we are at nothing like those levels now. Being unused and apparently not usable is a valid deletion criterion. A template that has existed for six years and is not used is a maintenance burden; in the case of this template, three of its five edits are maintenance edits. {{Cite DCBL}} and {{DCBL}} have dozens of transclusions, so would not show up on any "unused template" reports. I would oppose their deletion if they were nominated, as they are clearly useful to editors. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:01, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Exists expressly for the purpose of being inaccessible and contradicting MOS:COLHEAD. All instances should be replaced with semantically appropriate and accessible table rows. (Note that the template is protected and is not tagged for discussion.) ―Justin (koavf)TCM 07:41, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose for the same reason expressed at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2023 November 29#Template:CFB Yearly Record Subhead. A new template scheme should be built first. Template:CBB yearly record subhead should also be treated at TfD together with its co-dependents: Template:CBB yearly record start, Template:CBB yearly record entry, Template:CBB yearly record subtotal, Template:CBB yearly record end. Jweiss11 (talk) 23:11, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: I agree with Jweiss11. If a suitable replacement is not created first, deleting this template will not help achieve the goals of MOS:COLHEAD. If the template were deleted, many editors may simply insert a similar row into the tables produced by this group of templates. Given the nature of the information that these tables present, the subhead is helpful to those for whom it is accessible. It would likely require a complete redesign of the entire table to do away with it. Finally, drawing the conclusion that the subhead "exists expressly for the purpose of being inaccessible" requires one to either have evidence about the template's purpose or to make an assumption that contradicts WP:GF. It seems far more likely that the inaccessibility caused by the template is an unfortunate outcome rather than an express purpose. I'm simply unwilling to believe that there are Wikipedians who invest energy for the purpose of making Wikipedia less accessible. Taxman1913 (talk) 00:27, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
