New duplicate of Template:Bulleted list. JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 16:20, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete this is a blatant copy of Template:Bulleted list. Also, recommend admin action against the creator of the template who was previously blocked for this sort of behavior and agreed not to edit templates any more. --Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 17:13, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural note the T3 tag on the page is mostly useless since there is also this discussion, so I have removed it. Primefac (talk) 18:47, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- comment: @Primefac: just FYI, the user who created the template has been blocked for a month due to their disruptive editing and creation of templates. I felt that the TfD could be skipped and we could simply speedily delete the template. --Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 19:24, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
comment I thought of T3 when nominating but thought it better to discuss, to highlight to its creator yet again that he should be more careful creating templates. But yes, this being the umpteenth time someone has taken issue with his template activity he is now blocked, so cannot participate. There is little point to this discussion therefore I support a speedy outcome.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 19:38, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sea of red links. Topic better served by the actual article List of indoor arenas in Africa and List of indoor arenas in Asia. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 15:26, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not enough links....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:48, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - wow. I was expecting "by sea" to see something around half, not all but one. --Gonnym (talk) 09:15, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unused; superseded by more general nav templates. ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 14:17, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep will break history to delete these. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 10:54, 2 November 2018 (UTC).[reply]

That is not a reason to keep a template. --Izno (talk) 16:37, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Curling at the Winter Olympics category navbox (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

redundant to the all-purpose Template:Winter Olympics by year category navigation, which is easier to apply (because it needs no parameters), and better for readers because it links to all years instead of just the previous and next. See {{Winter Olympics by year category navigation}} in use at for example Category:2010 Winter Olympics curling templates. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:45, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No real use, aside from replacing wikitext in an article(?) cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 00:47, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Which is something we do not use templates for. Delete. --Izno (talk) 16:39, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
