Template:Wards of Belfast (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Most of the articles in the template were one line permastubs along the lines of "X is a ward in Belfast." A discussion here reached consensus on redirecting most of them to a new article, Electoral wards of Belfast. Consequently most of the links in the template are now merely redirects and the template is now superfluous. Valenciano (talk) 20:49, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete Not a suitable basis for a navigationl template. Salix (talk): 09:41, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Home Office list of individuals banned from entering the United Kingdom (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Not a suitable basis for a navigationl template. Firstly, there are many other people who have been banned from entering the UK, as List of individuals banned from entering the United Kingdom makes clear. Secondly, this is grouping people together by a non-notable characteristic: these people have nothing in common collectively beyond being banned from entering the UK, and indeed some of them represent directly opposing ideologies. I don't think there's really any need for a template to navigate between them. Robofish (talk) 16:17, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Thermodynamics philosophical context (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Thermodynamics timeline context (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

rarely-used, nonstandard and pretty ugly counterpart to {{see also}} and the like. Dropping these entirely would not significantly impact readers' understanding of the subjects in question. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 10:19, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This template was created as a counterpart to Template:Thermodynamics timeline context which is used in a similar way. The benefit of these templates is to draw attention to a broader context, but without including a much bulkier navbox such as Template:Statistical mechanics or Template:Thermodynamics. While a see also note would provide a similar link, it would not provide the same emphasis.
That said, I agree this template (and the history one) could probably be executed better (de-uglify, perhaps relocate on page). Perhaps feedback in that direction rather than outright deletion might yield a better result?
Regardless, for consistency I suggest that this template and the history one be treated similarly. David Hollman (Talk) 10:38, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed as to consistency: I was looking for companion templates to co-nominate, so have added this one. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 11:28, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete and replace with {{Infobox officeholder}} or one of its redirect that fits better. Magioladitis (talk) 12:55, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox French parliamentarian (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Only 10 mainspace transclusions. With only a bare minimum of fields, this template is redundant to and easily replaceable with the more established {{Infobox officeholder}}. PC78 (talk) 01:00, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Only 318 mainspace transclusions. All parameters in {{Infobox revolutionary}} have an equivalent in {{Infobox person}}, therefore this template is both redundant and fully replaceable (see Template:Infobox revolutionary/testcases for examples). PC78 (talk) 00:51, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
