Template:Country flag IOC alias ATT (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This is a malformed template (it is supposed to be an image, but the image isn't displaying), representing a nonexistent team of autistic child athletes, who supposedly compete at the School Olympic Games, an event that does not actually exist. It is one of the pages created in an apparent walled garden of hoaxes. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2012 Summer School Olympics for further details.

Just transcludes a nonexistent template ({{FurtherReadingContent}} which was deleted on 2 June 2012). The only transclusion of {{FurtherReading}} is from the template's own talk page. DH85868993 (talk) 15:59, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Largest Metropolitan Areas of Uttar Pradesh (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

A metropolitan area should have a minimum population of 4 million. None of the cities in the template fall under that category. —Vensatry (Ping me) 11:40, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Metropolitan areas are described in terms of living style, infrastructure, games,culture and other relevant stuff.For importantly if you think "A metropolitan area should have a minimum population of 4 million" you could have ask me to move or you could do that.--25 CENTS VICTORIOUS☣ 13:50, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • It differs from country to country. In India, a region is defined as a metropolitan area only if it's UA has a population of 4 million. —Vensatry (Ping me) 15:06, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • That is not exactly true i must say.In india metro status is given in different manner.
Range of area of Metropolitan cities  : 51.74 – 603 sq. km. can be given metro status.
cities having area of 200 sq. km. or above can be given metro status.
and cities having area below 100 sq. km can also be given metro status. --25 CENTS VICTORIOUS☣ 15:32, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've already provided in article --25 CENTS VICTORIOUS☣ 07:40, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep with possible changes, like renaming the template and addition of the source. Also, the nominator does not say which criteria is being fulfilled by this template under WP:TFD#REASONS. IMO, the template does not fulfill any of the 4 criteria, and can be improved to better suit the project. Anir1uph | talk | contrib 23:17, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Firstly, "largest" is a POV term and should not be used. Secondly, there are no provinces in Uttar Pradesh as the template claims. Thirdly, as far as I know, 2011 India census results haven't been publicly released. Whatever is available is provisional and subject to change. Lastly, as the nominator has mentioned, the template is redundant.-RaviMy Tea Kadai 03:56, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment to Ravi Your concern of POV region have been solved.I'v changed it to divisions of UP.Please see. --25 CENTS VICTORIOUS☣ 14:25, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment to Ravi First of all let me remind you that population of india have been publicly released.Only caste based census is yet to release. Visit their site and check it out.I don't know based on what nominator has said template is redundant,the templates he has mentioned describe nothing about the cities in U.P. --25 CENTS VICTORIOUS☣ 07:36, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've visited the site many times and have never come across any page titled "Census 2011 results" only "Provisional data of 2011 census". Check out [1]. The 2011 India Census page also says only provisional data is available. When I contacted the "Census 2011" stall-keepers at the Chennai Book Fair they told that actual census data would be out by August 2012. However, either the data is yet to be released or their website is yet to be updated.-RaviMy Tea Kadai 09:46, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think we are getting off with the topic.here consensus is whether template violate any wikipedia policy or not. Let population discuss leave --25 CENTS VICTORIOUS☣ 14:13, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is not off-topic at all. It only proves that the stats given in the template are not the final results of 2011 census. And then, there are no "provinces" in UP as the template claims.-RaviMy Tea Kadai 01:51, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • what, "provinces" ?.which part of template claims.For a since you're saying Census has not been finally declared.This should be mean(according to you) that all the states and cities of india having provisional data and need to be remove.is this so ? 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS☣ 04:50, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment There are many contradicting sources and the census authority does not clearly define the criteria for a Metropolitan area. {{Template:Cities of India}} for me seems to be a well defined one. "Range of area of Metropolitan cities  : 51.74 – 603 sq. km. can be given metro status". I'm afraid, when Haora is a part of Kolkata Metropolitan area, how would that constitute a separate area. There is a small town called Valparai in Tamil Nadu with an area of 217 sq.km. Going by your logic, I can even say Valparai would constitute a metropolitan area. Now coming to cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Banaglore, Hyderabad we have a separate authority like Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority. There are not metros on their own. Do we have that for every other city with a population of 1 million or more. Ghaziabad and Noida are a part of NCR. Lastly, as Ravi said, these are only provisional results, and are likely to change. —Vensatry (Ping me) 04:22, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment to Vensatry You're saying that towns like Valparai with an area of 217 sq.km,Haora etc. are must given metro status.Let me tell you metro status is given in terms of other factors also.Like Place must have provided, industrial development, basic requirements,connectivity(in terms of rail,road & air) to other cities of india,Place should aslo have importance in country and lots of thing.Area matters but the thing mentioned matter more.I'm not saying this The Ministry of Urban Development is responsible for formulating these policies. Valparai and Haora are nothing more than a town or a blocks. cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Banaglore, Hyderabad are having special status.Ghaziabad and Noida both the cities are situated in U.P so they are first part of the state, NCR later.I hope this much helps. --25 CENTS VICTORIOUS☣ 07:26, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Guys we dont work that way, the personal opinion of both is of no use if you do not have reliable sources to back up your claim. so get a better source that clearly says about the metropolitan claim.--DBigXray 12:13, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Per the talk page consensus I have removed the word Metropolitan from the Heading of the template. I have not moved the page, due to the Pending TfD. once the TfD is closed I will move the Template to a new Title per page consensus. --DBigXray 18:13, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Symbols of Thailand (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Fails WP:NAVBOX. The subjects are different and varied in nature, they don't form a single coherent subject, and it would make no sense to mention the golden shower tree in the Asian elephant article. If say fifty countries had national flowers and all of them had such a template, the result would be template spam in a lot of flower articles, with minimal relevance to each individual topic. A category already exists. 180.180.148.46 (talk) 08:33, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Only transcluded by each other. It's unclear to me whether "NCAABB" refers to NCAA Basketball or NCAA Baseball, but it possibly doesn't matter. {{NCAABB seasons table coach row}} was deleted on 25 December 2011. DH85868993 (talk) 05:19, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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

Unused. Purpose unclear (to me). Possibly intended to be transcluded into {{SMPH}}? DH85868993 (talk) 04:44, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just for Context Storyland is an amusement center that is usually housed in an SM mall. This template translates to "malls large enough to house a large arcade center"..--Lenticel (talk) 06:25, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That's still not context, since you assume that we know what "SM" means, and I don't. Ego White Tray (talk) 12:38, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"SM" is simply the malls' name. Isn't the info available at {{SMPH}}?--Lenticel (talk) 06:18, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Islamic Association in Sweden (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Zero transclusions, and the purpose is unclear (consists mainly of a decorative image of the Swedish ensign). While there is an article on Wikipedia titled "Islamic Association in Stockholm", "Islamic Association in Sweden" does not exist. SuperMarioMan 00:58, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One transclusion only, to the creator's sandbox. I question whether a user's signature (for I assume that is what "sig" means) necessitates its own template. SuperMarioMan 00:48, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
