Do we really want a template in this case (threatening to kill someone) moreover a template that tells the user to come back once the block expired?? A (slightly) similar template was deleted through TfD a month ago.. -- lucasbfr  talk 17:37, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per the previous discussion and because this really isn't a template situation. A death threat is a serious situation that needs to be handled on a case by case basis rather than through a template.-- Kubigula (talk) 19:44, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Kubigula. Happy‑melon 19:54, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Just delete it, per above. NHRHS  2010 NHRHS2010 19:59, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Kubigula. JPG-GR (talk) 01:41, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - a death threat is a serious issue that extends beyond Wikipedia and in some jurisdictions it is a matter for investigation by law-enforcement agencies. In such circumstances, adding a template to an offender's userpage is the least of our worries. Green Giant (talk) 03:23, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Death threats are to be taken seriously, not just slap a template over. -- Hdt 83     Chat 04:15, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

The result of the debate was to keep. RyanGerbil10 (Говорить!) 01:35, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

The majority of the articles it intends to link to will not be created until atleast June. Infact a number of them just fell to afd for WP:Crystal reasons. Delete until such a time as it is usefull to have. — Djsasso (talk) 16:45, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment that doesn't strike me as a very good reason to delete, when you know that it's going to be legitimately recreated in five months time. Happy‑melon 19:55, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - we will need it soon 20:59, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep No sense deleting it now if it will be needed again in the near future. It already has two articles in it that are not WP:Crystal and are both relevant to the template subject and verifiable. --Pwnage8 (talk) 21:07, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete &mdash; I feel it is necessary to delete this template; it is only full of redlinks, articles that I deleted very recently per consensus at AfD. This template is used nowhere, nor will it be used in the next half year. And at Wikipedia, half a year is a lot of time. This template holds no value as an encyclopedic aid and it is not used at all.  Maxim (talk)  23:55, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: As I stated the same for the article that relates to this.  - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:41, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Wait until the result of this AfD, and then mirror the result. JPG-GR (talk) 01:42, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Though I said keep in both places, I agree that whatever the result, should be the same for both. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:50, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Whether the article you have referenced gets deleted through afd or not should not, in my opinion, have any bearing on this particular template discussion. This template's primary function is to navigate the full season articles for a particular season, which mostly consists of the season pages for each team for the 2008-09 season.  Since none of those pages exist yet, this template really is not necessary.  The only active links for now are the links to the all-star game and the entry draft which should only warrant a see also section on the 2008-09 season page itself. -Pparazorback (talk) 06:17, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete There is no need for a navigational template to exist as a container for a sea of redlinks. This will be trivially easy to recreate when it is actually needed in several months.  I get the impression that some editors are anxious to contribute to "structural" content on Wikipedia, which is why we see so many instances of future sporting event stubs that are little more than standard infobox and navigation box templates.  What's the point of doing that now?  Patience is a virtue.  — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 17:18, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Keep it in your sandbox until a few months before the season, not six months before it is needed.Londo06 (talk) 18:36, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep or Userfy - Deletion makes no sense if it's a known need. If we don't like it in the templatespace move it to userspace and it can be moved back when more timely.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 22:57, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - as a currently unused template as no season articles for next season exist yet. This template can be recreated easily once next season's articles are created after this season is completed.  -Pparazorback (talk) 05:58, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete/Userfy - unnecessary at the current time, and as others have said, this can always be recreated when the articles it links between have actually been created. (Especially if someone Userfies it.) Terraxos (talk) 03:43, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Userfy and/or 'Comment Out'  - It does seem pointless to have a template of red links. Alaney2k (talk) 14:46, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Redundant to Rugby union squad. — Bob (talk) 16:24, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - looked through, has been edited towards an older template, fixed. Alexsanderson83 (talk) 19:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Regardless of the revision history of Template:Rugby squad, it is still redundant given the presence of Template:Rugby union squad. – PeeJay 19:26, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

The result of the debate was deletion. I'm iclined to agree with PeeJay here, the style of a template is to be debated elsewhere. At the current moment we have a template that is not used and which is redundant to one which is. RyanGerbil10 (Говорить!) 01:40, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Redundant to Munster Rugby squad, which has been around since 8 Sep 2007. --Bob (talk) 16:28, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - in line with other ones in existence for club rugby. Alexsanderson83 (talk) 17:17, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - If a template for the Munster Rugby squad is to exist, it should exist at Template:Munster Rugby squad. The style of such a template is a matter for debate elsewhere. – PeeJay 18:52, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

The article on this non-notable band was deleted and links orphaned, except for this template. The band hasn't released their first album yet and has had no press to speak of, so it's unlikely they will meet WP:MUSIC anytime soon. It's not needed, so it can be deleted. — Krakatoa  Katie  07:58, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I originally listed this template for deletion but it has been restored by an admin who feels it would be better at TfD. It is a single-use template which transcludes the generic Ethnic group template and is only useful on the Portuguese people article. I don't think there is a justification for keeping this template when most similar ethnic articles make use of the generic template.. Green Giant (talk) 00:54, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
