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

ItsAlwaysLupus (talk · contribs) created this navbox template on 30/1/2020 for "Black American music" to combine various ostensively African-American music genres. It attempts to categorize different genres by era and is largely original research (EDM supplanted R&B since the 1970s?). Separate navboxes for {{Blues}}, {{Rhythm and blues}}, {{Soul music}}, etc., have existed for some time. Also, are music navboxes by race/ethnicity/heritage appropriate? —Ojorojo (talk) 16:25, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I can see the logic behind this. What I can't see is any need for it, given the existing templates. And, the term "Aframusic" seems to be an invented term for which no sources exist. We should stick to the existing templates that cover music of African-American origin quite adequately. Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:38, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Humorous categories (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Categories are not for games, they actually serve a purpose, unlike this template. Gonnym (talk) 14:54, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete pointless category created by a now-indef'd troll sock. ——SN 54129 15:27, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Busy2

The result of the discussion was delete after converting uses to {{busy}}. — JJMC89 (T·C) 01:13, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Busy2 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Similar to two recent TfDs Busy/Exams and BusyEmail. This has almost the same exact text and only 15 uses (about a 1/3 of that as most are the same transclusion). Current uses should be subset to the standard one. Gonnym (talk) 14:46, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Make this a wrapper for {{Busy}}, subst, then delete per (what I think is meant by) nom. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:01, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Snow clause

The result of the discussion was delete. WP:SNOW deletion JBW (talk) 14:39, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Snow clause (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused and should not be used. There already is {{Old XfD multi}} which just recently combined similar templates to create a consistent style. "snowball clause" is also not a policy or a guideline, but a supplemental/essay and should not be presented as if it has any equivalent footing as one. Gonnym (talk) 14:37, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as contrary to policy and created by a now-indef'd troll sock. ——SN 54129 15:28, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; hardly useful. {{Old XfD multi}} suffices and this should not belong on a talk page. J 947 ^{^{^(c)}}, at 00:07, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Miss Georgia winners in the Big Four pageants (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template is supposed to be used to identify all the women from the country of Georgia who have won one of the alleged Big Four international beauty pageants: Miss World, Miss Universe, Miss International, and Miss Earth. (Some other countries have similar templates, as seen at Template:Big Four pageant winners by country footer.) However, none of these pageants has actually been won by a woman from the Republic of Georgia, so there is nobody linked on this template. Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:17, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
