Template:LDSInfobox
Any LDS Church-unique info this template conveys is now more comprehensively conveyed in Template:LDSGAinfo (see, for example, redundancy on Gordon B. Hinckley). The biographical info is better presented in Template:Infobox Person (see WP:GA Thomas S. Monson) and any succession info is already presented in the Template:Succession boxs at the bottom of each article. -- Eustress (talk) 04:12, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Tentative support for deletion, so long as someone commits to add Template:LDSApostleshipinfo to the presidents of the church pages, since this nominated template currently contains the information that would regularly be presented there for apostles who were not presidents. This is relatively complicated, but Template:LDSGAinfo does NOT contain the same information as Template:LDSApostleshipinfo—one contains apostle ordination date and one contains membership in the Qof12 date. Some people think these are always the same, but they are not, and some people have been apostles for years without being a member of the Qof12. In the end, I can't really say that I think this proposal is accomplishing much, since one template will be deleted but another will have to be added to all the pages it is on anyway. I suppose it could be seen as a type of standardization, but at the same time it's also a bit of a make-work project for someone. I think the nominator and I discussed this at one point; I just can't seem to remember where it was. (But yes, per TPH below, this needs to go to WP:TFD.)
