It has been three years since this template was deprecated. At this point, I do not think it serves anyone anymore to have this placeholder telling which template to use or not. Regularly editing users should be well aware of the alternatives, and this will just cause more confusion for interlanguage as well, who come across this page and wonder why there is this confusing red box or smth that they do not understand.

  • Delete agreed its useless and unneeded and is unneeded even for page history reasons Qwv (talk) 10:30, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:25, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Don't need this anymore, and it probably could've been deleted a while ago. {{ping|ClydeFranklin}} (t/c) 02:44, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep – it seems that this page is still used frequently; pageviews have not dropped off too much since the deprecation. Perhaps reconfigure to make this a more general disambiguation page, as given that views have in general remained pretty steady, it seems like lots of editors are coming here looking for a different template – perhaps {{uw-block}}, I don't know (this ignorance despite being a regularly editing user).

    That is probably because of the interlanguage links. Once the template is gone from the interlanguage directory the views will probably go away as well. :) Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis ❄️ 20:40, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I just checked select pageview counts for this template in other languages. It seems that combining all non-English-language versions of this template together yields approximately twice as many views as the en.wp template – an estimate. Nowhere near 1 in 2 users viewing a template will click a specific link on the interlanguage directory. Maybe 1 in 20. J947edits 23:32, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's only two articles for the band's releases in existence (the others aren't notable, at least yet) aside from the band and the main member (Wilbur Soot) having articles. This was created WP:TOOSOON. WP:NENAN. Ss112 09:13, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fails the first function of a navbox. Too few links. DrKay (talk) 08:00, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Barely used template. I see no reason why we need to tag IPs like this when Special:BlockList exists, and we can even filter. Very few IPs are blocked indefinitely, and the ones that are are because of repeated block evasion or because they are open proxies. Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis ❄️ 00:54, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
