- Template:LIN TV (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
The deal between LIN Media & Media General was closed on December 19. All the pages have been replaced with different templates including Media General, making this template useless, since LIN is now a defunct entity. Csworldwide1 (talk) 07:58, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
- Still it seems reasonable to keep the only use. Transclude it there? I don't know what the convention is for a navigational aid that has only a single use. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 11:56, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
- Oops, where I said transclude it there, I mean substitute it there. Our jargon is terrible. Note to closing admin, since I'm so unsure about precedent and customs in this case, please don't take this as a strong anything. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 09:37, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
- Delete as out-of-date, though the information could be included in the article as the stations affiliated with it when it became defunct, or something of that nature, if desired. (Generally, single-use templates are substituted and deleted, or merged with the article in some form. The Media General navbox navigates the current situation, and the article already summarizes the history.) —PC-XT+ 06:33, 9 January 2015 (UTC) 07:02, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
