On December 20, 2013, the FCC approved the sale of Belo Corporation to the Gannett Company.[1] Gannett has closed on the sale on December 23. All the Belo station's pages have been replaced with the Gannett templates, making the Belo template unnecessary. Csworldwide1 (talk) 21:02, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Db-deprecated (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I don't think deprecated templates should ever be speedied. First of all, I have noticed that not always deprecation is discussed at all. And even if it is, the measure of deprecation is not always correctly assessed. Full deprecation means a template is not in use, but also includes that the likeliness of it being used is very low. In addition, I have noticed that it is common practice to keep deprecated templates for years with the deprecated notice, just in case. In short, the deletion of a deprecated template should be carefully assessed and is not a matter for speedying. Debresser (talk) 20:30, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Deprecation does not make sense as a speedy deletion criterion. Frequently deprecated templates are kept at TfD, so having this CSD template seems to be a way to circumvent prior TfD findings, thus a violation of WP:CONSENSUS -- 65.94.78.9 (talk) 05:38, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I feel as though this needs to be brought up at, or at least this discussion linked to from, WT:CSD. G6 is a fairly open-ended CSD criterion (as it should be), and I think I recall tagging at least one template with {{db-deprecated}} and having it deleted as G6, so this is not a clear-cut situation. — This, that and the other (talk) 09:13, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done. It may be that in a specific case some admin agreed with the argument, but deprecation is not found among the rules at Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, this you can see for yourself. Debresser (talk) 09:57, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I completely missed that. But note that surprisingly Db-deprecated is mentioned under WP:CSD#G6. That would have to be changed even if this template were kept. But my main argument is that 7 days is not enough to establish deprecation. That sometimes takes months and even years. And even then often the template is kept, possibly as historical. Debresser (talk) 10:41, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notification In view of the point of view of two editors that this discussion is outside the scope of WP:TFD, I have opened a discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#Deletion_discussion. Debresser (talk) 20:23, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

*Therefore I motion to procedural close with no prejudice against keep/deletion arguments raised at WT:CSD. TeleComNasSprVen (talk • contribs) 19:51, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion at CFD seems to point to removal of "deprecated" and "orphaned" as speedy criteria. I would propose to keep this thread alive for a few more days, and if the speedy guideline will be accordingly amended, then we could delete this template. Debresser (talk) 08:10, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

{{db-t3}} is used in other cases, so that is not related to this discussion, which has now been concluded through WP:CSD as a consensus to delete. Debresser (talk) 02:04, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
