Template:Punjab (Pakistan) topics (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

pointless to have a short cut just to list the same template 5 times. Frietjes (talk) 23:59, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Maratha Clans (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

unused and blanked. Frietjes (talk) 23:59, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I seem to recall this template was previously deleted. The primary problem with it is that there is no agreement among reliable sources regarding which clans should or should not be present. In theory, it should list 96 of them but in practice it often seems as if every Maratha clan wants to be a member of the 96. The difficulties are apparent, but containable, at Maratha clan system. - Sitush (talk) 13:04, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Discworld shortstory (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

per Infobox Discworld novel, this is redundant to {{infobox short story}} (I replaced it in 4 articles). Frietjes (talk) 22:06, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:League Table Data 2 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template is used on one page and performs a function that could easily be done by a wikitable. NapHit (talk) 21:57, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep No real reason for deletion. explanation invalid.Masterpasa (talk) 02:12, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes there is a valid reason, it is because the template is redundant to a standard wikitable, nor it is widely used, it serves no purpose. NapHit (talk) 13:24, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:English batsmen with a completed career Test batting average over 50 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Wholly a navigational subset of Template:Batsmen with a Test batting average above 50. Centy – reply • contribs – 14:34, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete superseded by the template with all nations batsmen. NapHit (talk) 21:59, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Literature by continent (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

not a likely navigation goal, and at least one article is meaningless (North American literature). i believe that Category:Literature by continent more than suffices (i do believe categories, lists and templates can all coexist, but the subject has to benefit from the 3 different forms, and this doesnt) Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:01, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Template:States of the federation of Malaysia (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Duplication of Template:States and Federal Territories of Malaysia, albeit with a proliferation of odd legal footnotes ~~(which can't seem to be accessed)~~ and an odd push of some political POV, splitting the Bornean and Malayan states, and linking state to Sovereign state, which is simply wrong. CMD (talk) 16:49, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Necessary for localization the the Bornean and Malayan states refer States of the federation looks like its usefulness. Which was the point - Omdo (talk) 20:47, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- There's no reason to localise the Bornean and Malayan states, and if there was, it's easily achievable on the other template. All this does is create a second template to access Malaysian states, with the misleading information noted above. Found out how to see footnotes, there is a show to the right of the references header. CMD (talk) 23:26, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete as redundant and inferior to {{States and Federal Territories of Malaysia}}. Totally overkill to separate for Borneo and Malaya. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 17:52, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
