Template:H.I.V.E Character (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. Intentioned for a single article. {{Infobox character}} can do the job if necessary. Magioladitis (talk) 21:20, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox ThunderCats (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. Covered by other templates if necessary. Magioladitis (talk) 21:17, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to make individual articles for ThunderCats heroes and villains but haven't gotten around to it. Would it be all right to leave the template a bit longer? Cale (talk) 17:54, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I based my "vote" on a fact that you should especially take into account: WP:N coverage criteria typically restrain the number of such articles to just several and ThunderCats doesn't strike me as an incredibly popular series. You should read Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction). —Admiral Norton (talk) 18:09, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:MonasticHouses Cheshire England (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Only used on one article, its crossing the line between what should be in article space and template space. by the look of List of abbeys and priories in England where it is being used, it appears to not be the only one. Peachey88 (Talk Page · Contribs) 13:19, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • If it helps the decision when closing this discussion, I am happy to perform all the moves I have proposed (and there will be about 40 moves). Nev1 (talk) 05:51, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Bridge under construction (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

As usual, a current event template about something that rarely, if ever, is actually a current event by our standards. We don't need to notify our readers that a bridge is currently under construction (or rather, we do that in the lead of the article), and information about bridges under construction is usually not exactly changing rapidly or dramatically. If I would apply the guidelines for current events to this template, I'm pretty sure that not a single article would be left using it. --Conti| 10:29, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong delete. Let's see some examples of how "dramatically things change:
I just picked the three first and I didn't look further. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:09, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  1. How is this a "current event template"? It puts the article into Category:Bridges under construction, which has nothing to do with Category:Current events and its subcategories.
  2. How is this different from other temporal templates such as {{Future airport}}, {{Future arena}}, {{Future building}}, {{Future hospital}}, {{Future tunnel}}, etc., all with similar appearance and purpose? Should all of these be deleted too? GregorB (talk) 22:16, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Good idea. Because I fail to see the point of a notice which might be on an article for years. That info should be in the lead, not on a pretty template. Especially when the content of the article in question does not really "dramatically changes". Garion96 (talk) 22:21, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the content would hardly undergo "dramatic changes", but that might well be the case for changing the template, rather than deleting it. My point #2 is not meant to invoke WP:OTHERSTUFF; if the templates should be deleted, then they all should be deleted, and that would warrant a more general discussion. So, my vote is actually procedural keep. GregorB (talk) 23:09, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I can't really argue with you here, since I think that all those templates that you've mentioned should indeed be deleted, too. The funny (or sad, rather) thing is that, if I nominate them all at once, I get "procedural keep" votes because the nomination is too broad. And if I nominate just a few, I get "procedural keep" votes because I haven't nominated the other templates, too. Hello, Catch-22. --Conti| 17:46, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Many future xxx templates have to be delete IMO. Things don't change rapidly in the given examples above. -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:49, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
