  • Delete per nomination. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:51, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is a tutorial and help template for new users or those who don't understand Wikipedia in its entirety. Why is this being considered for deletion? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:44, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Looks like I removed the template from the WP:AUTOPAT page 4 months ago with the edit summary remove "are you in the right place?" box. it contains a lot of info, and doesn't seem related to autopatrol. i would be surprised if folks with those questions ended up on this page. This caused the template to have no transclusions, and templates that aren't in use are routinely nominated for deletion by folks that watch those reports. Looks like you re-added the template to WP:AUTOPAT upon being notified of this TFD, which makes things a little more complicated. –Novem Linguae (talk) 15:59, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If the template is now in-use I have no other issue with it. However, if it is removed again, please re-nominate it. Gonnym (talk) 19:22, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Nomen dubium of the most dubium kind - a hypothetical creature that Linnaeus considered responsible for a skin inflammation he experienced [1]. Might actually be worth an article, but no basis for placement in any taxonomic system, and certainly not in our taxonomic template system. Same applies to {{Taxonomy/Furia infernalis}}. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 11:07, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is that how we deal with those? Fair enough. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is moving to draft space an option? That give the author time to write an article about the species. The Banner talk 01:39, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's beside the point, actually. We don't have taxonomic templates about hypothetical or non-existant animals in our system, which is why we can't have one about this taxon. For the same reason such an article could not have a taxobox (and thus no link to the template system anyway). --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 05:26, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Other albums listed here were redirected years ago. This navbox no longer offers additional navigation that already doesn't exist in the articles that remain. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 02:59, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
