Template:Scandal
This template says that the article to which it is applied is about a scandal. I can't see how this could ever be necessary or useful. --CrypticBacon 07:38, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete That's a little bizarre, hopefully the text of the article or the inclusion in Category:Scandals would make it clear that the article is about a scandal. Is this to protect the eyes of innocent scandal-free children from being corrupted?  Pagra shtak  13:36, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, unnecessary. Angr/ talk 09:55, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. as per above comments. Jared 19:03, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete.. One can read the article or often the title of the article and see that it's a scanda. Completely unnecessary. --Optichan 18:24, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Template:Main Pakistan
Seems kind of useless to have a template for this. The only page that would really need this would be the Pakistan page, as its too general for any other page. It also is not used on any page. Template:Country Infobox seems to be the same thing, except for any generic country. Pepsidrinka 05:17, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete It looks only useful for Pakistan, which is using Template:Infobox Country.  Pagra shtak  13:38, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom, not used anymore  D a Gizza Chat  &#169; 08:18, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Template:Infobox U.S. state Former Confederate States
Fork of Template:Infobox U.S. state except with the addition of two historical dates specific to southern states. I am against doing this sort of thing since I think there should be a consistent template for all the states. Historical information specific to one state or region should be in the article, but we should keep the infobox generic and uniform for all states. JW1805 (Talk) 05:03, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Definitely agree that there should be a single infobox for all states. – Doug Bell talk•contrib 08:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Adding two optional rows to Template:Infobox U.S. state would be a better solution. Side note: name contains a redundant state.  Pagra shtak  13:42, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom. Consistence is better.  D a Gizza Chat  &#169; 08:17, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom --Khoikhoi 04:24, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree that the infoboxes for the 50 states should all be consistent, and that some other method needs to be used to include the information about them being former Confederate states. Sue Anne 06:43, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was even with the extra time, there is still quite not enough consensus to delete. Perhaps you should wait until User:Mion, the creator to the template, does get back. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 00:05, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Template:OTA
First, according to OTA's website there are over 150 members of this group, yet this template lists fewer than 30, with numerous inaccuracies among those currently listed including companies which have not existed for half a decade. Second, membership this "alliance" is secondary (or even tertiary) to the industry; a navigational template is overkill for tying Marriott International to Northwest Airlines on the basis of their cooperation in XML development. Third, the main article is a single sentence, so evidently even in the XML world it is not of overwhelming significance or has not attracted such attention. Fourth, I'd rather not have the precedent of creating navigational templates for relatively minor industry associations as large corporations such as these belong to dozens. Fifth, messages on the Talk page and on the creator's User_talk page are left unanswered, and thus as inaccurate as the template is now its usefulness seems likely to decrease even further in the future. -choster 22:43, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
 *  keep In order of the arguments above:
 * So fix it.
 * Argument for a smaller template; you may wish to make into a cat link, like otherarticles
 * Another argument for a smaller template
 * As is this
 * If he doesn't care, it will be easier to fix it.
 * His user page says he's on vacation until 20 March. I see no rush in deleting this. Septentrionalis 20:29, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Septentrionalis 17:35, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Categorize and delete. The information is still relevant, but would be better served by a category than a bulky template, especially if there really are 150 members. Dbinder 19:00, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Relisting. I don't normally do this with templates, but there's a good case made on both sides, but neither case is actually discussed at all so some tender, loving attentions would be appreciated. -Splash talk 03:40, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - this isn't an important enough organisation for a navigational template, as Dbinder says, this is a fairly minor aspect of all these companies. I don't even think it's important enough for a category. — sjorford (talk)  23:29, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just looks like a random bag of companies with little else in common. The OTA article needs some work, though - listing the companies there might be useful. Flowerparty ■ 14:05, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. asa per Sept.. Jared 19:05, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
