 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was  keep. This doesn't necessarily mean all similar templates would be kept, however, especially those which are not in use. --BDD (talk) 18:36, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

KIS/WPTennis


I guess (based on the categories) that this is intended to be a template (and hence it should really be in the Template namespace), but as KIS was just a short-lived user initiative (e.g. see Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Keep It Simple) this page can probably now be deleted. Note: If this is deleted then the rest of Category:Keep It Simple templates should probably be brought to MFD. DexDor (talk) 23:15, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
 * These used to be in template space with userboxes. This one was named user label WPTennis. Some related templates started with "user icon" instead of "user label". They were moved per user box migration after a TfD. New labels are created in user space, (and new subpages of WP:KIS are not recommended.) Since the TfD, the labels have also been used for topicons. I have been merging and deleting redundant subpages, some discussed at MfD, and others redirected or speedied, but I have left these project labels alone. Some projects either moved them to their own space or created them there. My !vote will depend on the wishes of WP:WikiProject Tennis, which I have notified. (I believe I have invited them to move it to a subpage of their project or tag it for deletion, in the past, and they left it under WP:KIS.) I would also support userfication if one of the people using the label wants it. (Is there a userbox parameter or something for nominating a userbox? All I see is noincluding, which doesn't notify users.) —PC-XT+ 06:00, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, simply because it is used by a few. I haven't heard from any other project members on this issue. Disclaimer: I just decided to join the tennis project, because I happen to be getting involved with the templates and articles using them, and placed this on my userpage. I was not using it when this discussion started. Note: I edited the template to noinclude the large notification and added a smaller one after the TfD method. Is there a reason why such a notification isn't transcluded for userboxes in general, other than formatting issues? —PC-XT+ 03:01, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. At the MfD for WP:WPKIS, it was noted that some people use this system, which is true. This particular template has 5 transclusions; while not at the same level as, for instance, User contrib with 4,000+ transclusions, it's not completely unused at all.
