Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2024 November 23

I am unable to find any discussions leading to the creation of {{Use Ugandan English}} by Cobaltcigs. Ugandan English explains that this dialect makes use of phrasing that would not be acceptable here on Wikipedia per MOS:COMMONALITY, and uses misspelled standard English words. We would never accept those misspellings here, so these templates should probably go away. I have found no information about whether Ugandan English is based on British or American English, so I can't recommend conversion to a redirect at this time. Evidence supporting a redirect is welcome. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:16, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: possibly relevant: the creator of {{Ugandan English}} was blocked as a sock puppet of someone who was originally blocked in 2015, so their creation of this template in 2017 may be speedy-deletable. I am not well-versed-enough in SPI and CSD to know for sure. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dan9122/Archive. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:22, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's borderline. Since people othwr than their socks have added the template to pages I think it's easier to use TfD's infrastructure for orphaning templates before deleting then rather than G5 speedy deleting. But if another admin wants to do so I have no objection. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 00:55, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
