This NBA Development League team has moved and been renamed the "Northern Arizona Suns." A template for that teams current roster has been created. Since the franchise no longer exists, there is no Bakersfield Jam "current roster". Rikster2 (talk) 23:26, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. We really need to speed up the process of dealing with templates marked "deprecated", which people seem to think means "continue using it until forced to stop".  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  04:11, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:EL and WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE. While we could certainly have a template like this at the national level, that linked to an article on official "patrimonial value" sites, if this were comparable to things like the US Register of Historic Places, etc., there's no encyclopedic value in what some local municipality is labeling this way.  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  04:18, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All links just got PRODed (the pages were empty). Was included in one page (now zero) and not useful there. David Gerard (talk) 13:13, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete since it's all redlinks now. Wise move, too. Individual players might be notable, but one-off teams they form for a regional competition cannot be (absent something really unusual, like a whole team being electrocuted in a swimming pool or whatever, and becoming notable for something other than being a one-off regional competition sports team).  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  04:20, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as malfunctional. Someone's trying to append URL parameters (which would only work for a specific site's URLs anyway) and doing it wrong. WP doesn't need bloggy RSS (or "Share on Facebook", etc.) buttons anyway; WP:NOTSOCIAL.  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  04:27, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:PetScan with Template:Catscan.
Similar templates both linking to PetScan queries (PetScan previously known as CatScan). WP:IAR / WP:NOTBUREAU relisting of Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2016_August_13#Template:Catscan2. - Evad37 [talk] 00:11, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be super-clear, the comments here are from this TFD, where Template:PetScan was the only template nominated. That TFD was a relisting of this TFD, which again only had the single template nominated (as Template:Catscan2, before this move to Template:PetScan to match the updated tool's name). - Evad37 [talk] 23:11, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Only five non-article uses outside of archive pages, and apparently non-functional. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:23, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The template still serves a purpose in making it much easier to link to PetScan queries. Formatting links with this template means that if the tool changes location or format, the queries can be updated just by updating this template (like I did just a few days ago!). Additionally, the template doesn't violate any of the WP:TG guidelines, nor does it meet any of WP:TFD#REASONS (current low-usage is not unused, and not an indication of potential future uses), so I don't see any reason to delete, or benefit from deleting, this now functional template. - Evad37 [talk] 02:00, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've found a similar template {{Catscan}}, so I'm changing my !vote to merge that template into {{PetScan}} (which will result in about 35 transclusions) - Evad37 [talk] 10:44, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
