More indiscriminate copying of templates from other wikis without making any attempt to adapt their code (except in some cases the page name) to the English Wikipedia. (similar templates were nominated at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2021 March 15) * Pppery * it has begun... 14:38, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Indian PSU with Template:Public Sector Undertakings in India.
Seems redundant. Indian PSU list is both outdated and exact subset of Public Sector Undertakings in India. Tharun S Yadla (talk) 10:45, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

template roster for a one-year now defunct sports team. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 09:24, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete One of a number of the rosters from the single season of the XFL (2001). Most "roster" templates are intended to be current. Content should be in Birmingham Thunderbolts where it can be referenced. Nigej (talk) 13:14, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Project defunct since 2011; no good reason for these tags to waste space on article talkpages. Elli (talk | contribs) 05:07, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Maybe better to get the whole project deleted (through WP:MfD). Not sure of the system for getting rid of defunct project. Nigej (talk) 13:08, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Per Nigej, we should first establish a policy for handing Defunct WikiProjects. I quickly checked there are over 250 defunct/inactive WikiProjects. Some of which may have use in the future, and they do not take up any limited space. Shushugah (talk) 18:28, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. If a project has been marked as currently defunct, it doesn't mean it will remain forever in that state. Wikiprojects do sometimes get picked up again. If it's believed that this one has absolutely no hope of ever getting back, then send the project page to WP:MFD, and all else follows from that. Otherwise, keep the banner, as it provides prima facie useful categorisation and its presence on talk pages provides what is probably the only effective means for the project to one day get back to life. – Uanfala (talk) 01:03, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I happened to reactivate a moribund WikiProject a few days ago, so I'm in the mood for the optimistic argument. Of course, defunct projects are a bit different to inactive projects. Nonetheless, as other !voters said, even the case for "a decade-long defunct project is better gone entirely" should be made at MfD rather than TfD. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 06:31, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There is no harm in keeping talk page banners of defunct WikiProjects. If the project is revived, it will take extra effort to re-create the template and re-add it to talk pages. The template includes a link to how to revive the project. – Finnusertop (talkcontribs) 06:53, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The reasons to keep this around outweigh the "wasted space" argument posed by the nominator. Usually projects are marked "historical" unless they are stillborn and/or were created by a banned/blocked user. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:00, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unlinked from article space and transcluded nowhere. Izno (talk) 04:02, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete unused COVID-19 template. Elli (talk | contribs) 05:36, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete updated daily until 25/30 March 2020 then seemingly abandoned. Nigej (talk) 12:56, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Inactive templates like this can also have potential for harm, given how fraught medical health/knowledge is. Shushugah (talk) 18:29, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
