Template:Infobox Canadian provincial political party (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Infobox Canadian political party (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Infobox Canadian provincial political party with Template:Infobox Canadian political party.
The provincial template is unnecessary as many of the fields required for provincial parties are in the main political infobox. Me-123567-Me (talk) 21:09, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Open Season films (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unnecessary template. Majority of the links are to redirects. Template creator has a history of creativing multiple versions of this, as well as false/hoax article relating to the subject. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:37, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

This template is only used on a couple of dozen talk and user pages, not in the mainspace at all. Its benefit on those pages is insignificant and its continued presence encourages the unnecessary linking of English language in articles (I've recently removed it from several hundred articles - mostly films and TV programmes - without any objections).

I've been willing this redundant template to be deleted for some time. Per Colonies Chris. Tony (talk) 13:53, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Everyone listed in the template's edit history. Colonies Chris (talk) 19:09, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    I was wondering if that's what it was, but I couldn't remember ever touching that template, and I had checked before replying here. Seeing this as the reason though, I looked again, and I see that I commented on the talk page once. I don't remember it, but... whatever. No harm, no foul. I don't necessarily agree with the reason that it's been removed from use within the article namespace, but this is something that I'm unwilling to argue over. Since it's unused in the article namespace now there's really no reason to keep it around.

*Question: Would this affect Template:lang-en in any way? Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:21, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NVM, it won't. Delete as redundant. We still have Template:lang-en to deal with translations of foreign-language material. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:27, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:House of Blues locations (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template is utterly pointless, as this only links cities where a restaurant exists, not an actual "House of Blues in XYZ city" article. If this template stands, it would set a precedent for every chain restaurant to have such a template, which would flood the city articles. Beyond that, it's not very useful; not much more is gleaned from this template that would otherwise be served with a list of locations. hbdragon88 (talk) 05:27, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Featured picture (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Seems to be entirely redundant to {{POTD protected}} and serves no other purpose, with little to no transclusions in WhatLinksHere. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 02:14, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not entirely redundant. Featured Picture includes a border and background. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:37, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no important transclusions(a few userpages only). mabdul 10:40, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
