The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was no consensus for merging with {{infobox building}}. There may be some consensus for merging a larger number of these templates into a generic "residential college" template, but no formal discussion of such a proposal was initiated. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 20:18, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox University of Notre Dame residence hall (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Infobox building (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging {{Infobox University of Notre Dame residence hall}} (18 transclusions) with Template:Infobox building.
Overly specific and includes trivia; I suggest we remove the latter and merge the rest into {{Infobox building}} (or is there something more specific?) - as a last resort, make more general. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:41, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

The result of the discussion was no consensus. It may be that this template is redundant to either "Infobox UK school" or "Infobox school", but it's not clear which parameters in this template are incompatible with the more generic template. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 20:23, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Scotland school (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The result of the discussion was no consensus, although there may be support for with merging this template with the other Simpsons character template, or for rewriting this as a frontend for the more generic "Infobox character" template. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 20:25, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Simpsons characters (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant to {{Infobox character}}. Has only 2 transclusions. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:23, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Several of these characters have appeared in both The Simpsons and the Tracey Ullman Show shorts, so the current template allows for the first appearances in both shows to be easily displayed. You can say that the parameter could be included in a generic template, but then it would have to be "First appearance in the Tracey Ullman Shorts" and that is too long. The current one looks better than a generic one possibly could. As well, the generic template contains several fields that we really don't want to go to, including episode count, nicknames, age (which caused a LOT of edit wars when the field was on this template), nationality, religion, date of birth/death and created by. I can guarantee that these fields would cause edit wars if the fans could add them to pages."

Template:Bangkok weatherbox (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template was previously nominated for deletion as single-use, but was kept since it wasn't clear that the reasons for the mass nomination applied. I have subst'ed the template into the Bangkok article, so now it's orphaned. I guess this means the template may now be deleted? (I'm not sure how the contributor history should be dealt with though.) Paul_012 (talk) 13:44, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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

Although four group members have their own article, the fact that there are only two (2) albums makes the navigation template superfluos as this can easily be solved with wikilinking. The Banner talk 13:07, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
