Template:Humayun Azad

Template:Humayun Azad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

WP:NENAN. Even if it did have five bluelinks, this navbox is clunky and almost entirely devoid of function. Deadbeef 10:46, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Language term infoboxes

Template:Arabicterm (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Infobox Russian term (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

These seem a bit silly to me, but if people think they're useful, then maybe we should consider creating a master template. — Lfdder (talk) 10:18, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

• Huh. Well, it's used in just over a dozen articles, but a lot of that might be mostly inertia. You might try notifying Wikipedia:WikiProject Arab world, Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthroponymy, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Intertranswiki/Arabic, to see if they have opinions about it. I'm agnostic, personally. – Quadell ^(talk) 11:05, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
• Leaning towards keep. The Russian one, at least, was created to be used with terms of Russian origin which are used in the English language (i.e., they are not merely dictdefs of Russian words). Examples include perestroika, samizdat, glasnost, etc. The template is not perfect by any means, and the current transclusions don't use even the limited functionality that's there, but there is certainly potential. I'd also oppose the merger—Russian alone has a handful of romanization systems (including which into the template would have practical value), so a dedicated template seems best.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); August 15, 2013; 12:13 (UTC)

Template:Infobox WorldScouting

Template:Infobox WorldScouting (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template needs a rethink; and possibly even forking. It's used for organisations (redundant to {{Infobox organisation}}?); events (e.g. Pinewood derby; redundant to {{Infobox recurring event}}?); training programmes (e.g. Law Enforcement Exploring); places (e.g. Treasure Island Scout Reservation; redundant to {{Infobox park}}?); badges (e,g, Merit badge (Boy Scouts of America); redundant to an award or medal infobox?); and generic topics (Scouting, Scouting in Alabama). 861 transclusions in all.

Template:History of the Hebrew language

Template:History of the Hebrew language (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant to {{Hebrew language}} and misleading (passing off varieties as periods of the language). — Lfdder (talk) 09:11, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Template:ETS LRT future

Template:ETS LRT future (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

• Delete. Unused template. Template:ETS LRT route, Template:ETS LRT Stations, and the succession box in the infobox, already provide navigation for the station articles, and File:Future Edmonton LRT.png provides a visual of current and future stations. 117Avenue (talk) 02:03, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Template:Eygeptian village

Template:Eygeptian village (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose deletion. It is not used and has no likelihood of being used; any situation where it might be used is already sufficiently covered by {{Infobox village}}. Failing deletion, it should be renamed to correct spelling and indicate that it's an infobox. — Paul A (talk) 01:36, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

• Delete unused, and what is "Eygeptian" ? -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 04:00, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Template:Saleh, Beni Suef

Template:Saleh, Beni Suef (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose deletion. It is not used and has no likelihood of being used; it's so specific as to be useful on only one page, and on that page it's already been replaced by an instance of {{Infobox settlement}}. — Paul A (talk) 01:56, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

• delete per nom. — Lfdder (talk) 09:59, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Template:ETS LRT route

Template:ETS LRT route (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

• Delete. Unnecessary template. All the information in this template is a subset of Template:ETS LRT future. Useddenim (talk) 03:25, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
• Speedy keep. Please don't write your own template, then nominate the one that has been used for years for deletion, bring up your proposed changes for discussion. 117Avenue (talk) 06:27, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
• Keep and put the overly complex one on hold. This should mostly show the current route and it's just too soon to show such detailed plans for future expansion. I don't know why the nominator had to blindside the frequent ETS contributors in this manner. Secondarywaltz (talk) 12:31, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
