All subpages of Template:Romanizations

None of these are used. No scope for use. No reason why the romanization can't just be written in the article. It is hard enough to insert Asian/Arabic characters for most users - no reason to require it in this way. — This, that, and the other (talk) 23:52, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Userfy per nom. A TfD nom is probably not required for userfications; I tend to just BOLDly userfy the page and delete the redirect under G6. — This, that, and the other (talk) 23:17, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He is a model known to do a lot of ad campaigns it's hard to keep up and mention all of them in the article. The template makes it easier to look at his yearly work. I don't think this should be deleted.--Anen87 (talk) 22:57, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Round16ext no third (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. Surely there is a duplicate of this that is actually used. If someone can find it, this template can be deleted. If there isn't one, that suggests this is not needed and can be deleted anyway. — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:27, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unused. Purpose unclear. Seems broken. — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:19, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I would gather to believe it is a modification of {{Round16}}, which is a highly practical template, but for which there are three matches per stage. I agree that it seems to be broken and unused, so I do not see why it should be around. Arsenikk (talk) 19:22, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Round16-LiverpoolSeniorCup (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. No scope for use, as there are no articles on the Liverpool Senior Cup other than the main article, and that article includes no tournament brackets. Not sure why this bizarre one with repechages is needed anyway. — This, that, and the other (talk) 09:06, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Rot270 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Okay, so this is a {{rot90|nice effect}} (if your browser supports it). But it's not totally supported, most likely bad for readability (it's annoying to turn your head 90 degrees to read the screen), and not currently used. — This, that, and the other (talk) 07:09, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep could be useful to illustrate things in discussions. Restrict to talk and wikipedia space. This should not be used in any other namespace. 65.93.15.80 (talk) 05:46, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment might be better renamed to {{moz-rotate}} and make the rotation amount be a passed parameter. Also, a special {{warning-moz-func}} template should be created to indicate that it requires Mozilla functions to work properly. 65.93.15.80 (talk) 05:46, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • It apparently does work on WebKit browsers (Chrome and Safari). It also rotates inline text (but not images, etc.) on Internet Explorer. The documentation needs to updated to agree with this. — This, that, and the other (talk) 07:00, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've added Rot270 to the nomination since it's part of the set. -- WOSlinker (talk) 09:26, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Quite. I have removed that template from the one article where it was used - premature, I know, but it is a non-standard template, and a real nasty head-turner. — This, that, and the other (talk) 11:20, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I suppose the two should be merged together into the suggested {{moz-rotate}} then... 65.93.15.80 (talk) 13:32, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I cannot for the life of me think of a suitable situation for using this. Seems like a lot of browsers don't support it, and those that do, render it in such a way as to make it nearly unreadable. Part of the problem with this type of template, is that certain types of editors think that if there is a template which allows something to be done, it is acceptable to use it (often in the most inappropriate circumstances). Arsenikk (talk) 19:16, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I can see a use for them, since discussions sometimes talk about orientations, so if you can provide a visual illustration of what is being discussed (like rotating an image), it would be useful. 65.93.15.80 (talk) 04:39, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete You may think that it could be used for rotating long headings in tables and making the columns narower but as can be seen below, it's not that useful. Looks ok in IE but not on Firefox. -- WOSlinker (talk) 15:12, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Don't really think any of these articles should be created, although some might be plausible for redirects. What is left is a navbox with a single article.

Nice images, and nice imagemaps. But, sad as I am to say so, I can't quite see the encyclopedic value of these unused templates. — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:23, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • All templates except {{Denali ImageMap}} are indeed used, once each. I'd go for keeping them, as the argument for their deletion as being unused is moot for all but one of them. As for encyclopedic value? They help illustrate the topic. Airplaneman 20:18, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Usage on a userpage doesn't really count, in my view. They can be userfied if that user wants them. — This, that, and the other (talk) 00:38, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indiscriminate. Tries to join hockey players with politicians with rap artists based on a supposedly, but often unsourced, shared ethnicity. Maybe valuable as a cited list, but certainly not as a navbox. Resolute 01:30, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The navbox is similar to Template:VietnamCorr. The hockey players, politicians and rap artists all identify themselves as Luo. Thaths (talk) 17:21, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, that navbox is an entirely different concept, and WP:WAX is not a valid keep argument anyway. Comparing apples to apples: Would a template that lists "notable Americans" be useful? How about "notable Jews"? "Notable Inuit"? A shared ethnicity, if cited, is a good category, and a decent list, but a bad navbox. Resolute 18:11, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Listify and delete - this should be a list, not a navbox at the end of every article included in the box. - The Bushranger One ping only 17:33, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and turn into a list or a category. There is no reason to connect people via internal link which have nothing in common but their ethnicity.--GirasoleDE (talk) 14:24, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Convert into list and delete this template. A list can have citations, whereas a category cannot. — This, that, and the other (talk) 23:35, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Computer science Collaboration of the Week doesn't seem to have been very well used. Initally created in Aug 2006 to one article and never changed. Suggest substituting into Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer science/Collaboration of the Week and then deleting. WOSlinker (talk) 20:15, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the template is now redundant, and move and archive to a sub-page of WP:WPCS seems to be more appropriate than deletion. --Deryck C. 08:16, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:CRow navbox (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Doesn't really offer anything that can't easily be accomplished with the standard {{Navbox}} template. WOSlinker (talk) 00:01, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Probably intended as a meta-template for a series of navboxes. But since it is unused, it is not needed. I have orphaned the template (replaced uses with {{navbox}}). — This, that, and the other (talk) 23:17, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete. I created the template. I have no objection to the deletion since “the other” modified the only template using it. 09er (talk) 19:25, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
