Redundant to {{Rail-interchange}} (which these templates are wrappers for). (Substitute before deleting) Jc86035 (talk • contribs) Use {{re|Jc86035}} to reply to me 11:10, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep they used well and are useful so I see no need as to why they should be deleted. ₪RicknAsia₪ 11:35, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @Rickinasia: To clarify, I'm not proposing that all the links be removed (is that what you think I meant?); just that the links use the standard {{Rail-interchange}} template instead of these three templates.

  - Sorry mate, I seem to have misunderstood. I got a posting on my User Talk page about this discussion but it said "Nomination for deletion of Template" so I felt it best to toss in a quick "keep it, don't delete!" :) If they can be merged in a way that preserves the information I am all for that. I must admit I am a little uncomfortable with "discussions" as I usually find them too late and then stuff disappears. Thank you for the clarification Jc! Best~ ₪RicknAsia₪ 14:58, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
delete all: They will be substituted fully. User:Jc86035, thank you. Sawol (talk) 09:40, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Must Keep- Seeing all the subway articles compromising with their local subway system's templates, I don't see a reason on why to delete these templates. At all.

- @HanSangYoon: I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "compromising" (could you please clarify?), but I'm not proposing that the links in the articles are deleted, just that the articles use the international {{Rail-interchange}} instead (which these templates are already using).

  - @Jc86035: Oh is that so? I didn't know exactly in that case. However, the rail interchange templates also looks very useful, and deleting it would make me very confused as well as they are their local subway icons and their preferred graphic designs. I stick to my opinion.

@HanSangYoon: Let me clarify:
- I am not proposing that any text in articles will be changed. Nor am I proposing that the icons are replaced with something radically different, or that Template:Rail-interchange be deleted (which is what you seem to be suggesting).
- Template:SMS line links and the other two templates are already a layer over Template:Rail-interchange (Template:rint). The symbols that are in Template:rint which were merged from these three templates are documented at Template:Rail-interchange/doc/KR.
- Before changing the templates to use Template:rint, they looked like this: Gyeongui ({{SMS line links|gye}}). Using Template:Rail-interchange, this is now (which is identical to {{rint|seoul|gye}}, ).
I'm still not really sure what you intended to mean, but I hope this clears things up. Jc86035 (talk • contribs) Use {{re|Jc86035}} to reply to me 09:07, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Jc86035: Why is there a "<see TFD>" right next to the sign? That doesn't make it any better.

@HanSangYoon: The notice is a link to this page, telling people who edit the articles which the templates are used on that this discussion exists. When this discussion is closed the notice will be removed. Jc86035 (talk • contribs) Use {{re|Jc86035}} to reply to me 08:54, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Eitherways, the link seems quite flawed by look. I understand the functionality of the link, but it just doesn't look okay to me. If you take away the link, then I guess I have nothing to argue about, but seeming that the Busan Subway pages currently has a straight list of these links next to the signages, I am a little stirred to go against the placement of this link. If you can take care of this issue, I have nothing to say.

@HanSangYoon: I've wrapped the TfD notices in <noinclude> tags; the notice should only display on the template pages now. Jc86035 (talk • contribs) Use {{re|Jc86035}} to reply to me 12:35, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
