This navbox is no longer needed, as all of Adelante Media Group's stations have been sold and the navbox has been removed from all articles using it (and replaced with navboxes for the stations' new owner, when available). WCQuidditch 23:52, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Squad Templates shouldn't be created for minor tournaments; U-20 tournaments are minor. Joeykai (talk) 22:01, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template is unused, and its preferred meaning of Lifer is a deleted article. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 21:10, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be an article rather than a template, but we already have an article at Alley Dwelling Authority. DexDor (talk) 19:02, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete after substitution. The table itself is valid, but it is only used on two pages; those two pages can fairly easily be updated/edited as necessary. Primefac (talk) 06:07, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • So what? WP:ITEXISTS JMHamo (talk) 00:25, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, the FIFA U-17 World Cup is organized by FIFA, but it is not a Tier 1 tournament. FIFA defines a Tier 1 International Match as any "International Match in which one of the teams participating is the first Representative Team (“A” Representative Team), a Scratch Team, or a Club Team that participates in one of the two highest divisions of a Member according to the national competition hierarchy of the Member concerned." A scratch team is defined as "a team consisting of players not registered to the same club or Member, and/or composed of players who are no longer duly registered with one of the Members as they have finished their football career as a professional and/or amateur player." U-17 teams do not meet the definition of an "A" Representative Team; rather their matches meet the definition of a Tier 2 match, "any International Match in which a Representative Team, other than a Member’s first Representative Team ("A" Representative Team) participates and which is not a Tier 1 International Match." All quotes are taken from FIFA's regulations. — Jkudlick tcs 17:03, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unused template, by appearance a cousin to {{Foolicon}}. Supposedly meant for users who are "overly humorous on their userpage". I'm a supporter of good humour and happy to see that no editor feel they are overly humorous and need this useless template. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 18:50, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was No consensus. The discussion is centered around the Skeptoid podcasts being a valid ELINK, with no clear consensus either way. Should a consensus determine that it is not a valid ELINK, then re-nominate listing that discussion. If it is valid, then it stands along with other templates like {{Findagrave}} Primefac (talk) 21:26, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A template used to link episodes of an arbitrarily selected podcast. It's a good podcast and has a long history but it's still just a podcast. Guy (Help!) 10:45, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I suppose the real question is whether or not it would be an appropriate external link. If it is, then the template's fine. If we shouldn't be linking to it in the first place, though, then it isn't. I think Dunning is noted for having solved a few mysteries - lines in Death Valley, etc, which may well push this one into the grounds of important source in a few cases, where other sources point back to him. Adam Cuerden (talk) 11:44, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I first encountered Brian Dunning when I was developing FileMaker databases for fun and profit. I listen to the podcast and like it, but his notable work has been published in book form and can (and should) be cited as such. Guy (Help!) 22:10, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
WP:EL - that is what I checked before voting here. Even if this is not RS (which is something debatable), I think this site belongs to Links to be considered #4 (Sites that ... contain information about the subject of the article from knowledgeable sources) - after reading what this site provides on a couple of subjects. What kind of Links to be avoided do you think it belongs to? The info by site seem to be "mainstream", sourced, and well written. It is usually not "neutral" in tone, but this is probably the only problem I can immediately count... My very best wishes (talk) 12:47, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
