The result of the discussion was delete - deleting obsolete templates is just cleaning up after ourselves &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:58, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

This template is no longer used. Wizard191 (talk) 15:25, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep It is being used on many pages. See Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Metalworking - Measuring tools and gauges links. Chillum  15:30, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You have to give the servers time to update. They are all transclusions because it was transcluded through Template:Metalworking - Measuring tools and gauges, but I copied the list directly into that template, so the template is no longer used. Wizard191 (talk) 15:33, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * In that case... No opinion. Chillum  15:37, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Thanks for the user-note Wizard191. It's taken a moment to realize what's going on but I believe I've caught up now. The original reason for keeping the links separate from the main template was to allow multiple use amongst templates, WikiProject_Metalworking/Article_list shows the starting structure, WikiProject_Metalworking/Template_list the templates. There were some pages, such as Machinist square, that overlapped more than one group which we solved one way, this appears to be your solution to that problem and so this deletion is merely a housekeeping request in line with the projects advancement. &mdash; Graibeard(talk) 00:02, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Nabla (talk) 01:12, 2 May 2009 (UTC)


 * relisting. Transcluded at TfD, so a 'clock reset' seems appropriate - Nabla (talk) 01:12, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Jll (talk) 13:06, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete anyway, it's pointless, it mean there is no reason for this template to exist, it's just a list of tools. Locos ~ epraix Beaste~praix 15:51, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I would aver that a list of tools is not pointless. It may be obsolete, but many templates are obsolete by that standard, and it is an insufficient reason for deletion. Collect (talk) 13:39, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
