Unnecessary template. Press releases already cited by cite press release and there is no valid reason to just put a press release in the External Links instead of using it as a reference if it adds anything to an article. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 20:13, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete XD I had to think about this one for a bit, but your final comment makes sense to me. External link to company website? Yes. Company website press release? Clutter. Liashi (talk) 21:27, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

The result of the debate was keep. Wizardman 12:53, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Inappropriate and unnecessary "template". Words kind of escape me on its current state (as a note, it has since been reverted to an earlier version, but the deletion reason still stands). Regardless, Shueisha is one of the biggest publishers in Japan. A template of their works is not an good use of a template at all. It would be like making a template with every book published by Random House. Far better handled by the existing Category:Shueisha. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 20:11, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete the number of works is indeed very large, making a category better suited for this. -- Ned Scott 04:13, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. While I would have voted to delete the pre-cleanup version of this template in a heartbeat, the current one doesn't look half bad. It's definitely useful as a navigation tool between the company's magazines.--Nohansen (talk) 06:35, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep If the table is defaulted to hide, it is a pretty good template. Samuel Sol (talk) 15:01, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Deleting templates does not solve any pressing problems and this is a reasonable, useful template. --Dragon695 (talk) 17:45, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Split or Keep Split? Keep? I'm not too sure which is better. Although I originally created the template, I am surprised by the horribly disorganized mess it had become, as I hadn't created it in order to make such a far-reaching monster. The old version you cited especially looks more like a list than a template. After looking at the history since creation, I realize why. It was moved to include all of Shueisha's magazine media, while I created it only to cover their manga magazines. I would suggest that if it is too list-like it be split into sub-templates: Manga Magazines and Magazines (with Hitotsubashi Group being a sub-category within both templates.) The reason I originally created it wasn't to cover everything, which, as you pointed out, is better suited to the category feature...which isn't being properly used, unfortunately. I created it because Shueisha didn't have a template for it's various types of manga magazines as other companies did (Shogakukan for example), and I found it hard to navigate between them when trying to find out about them as related works. I designed it for ease of navigation between magazines related by the topic of MANGA...not just a general company name. In any case, if the majority of people like/want/need/approve the ability to navigate between just manga magazines as well as other types without going to a category page, by all means we should keep it as-is. The addition of website links and the Japanese, however, are clearly abusing the template, and I am glad that the current version has removed them. That sort of information belongs on the articles for the company/magazines themselves. Liashi (talk) 01:27, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Unused template that implements and external link. Thetrick (talk) 08:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment It appears the template is nothing but a spamlink. If I am right, it qualifies for a G11, so speedy delete as blatant spam, unless someone else objects. -- Mizu onna sango15 / 水 女 珊瑚15  23:56, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Template with 1 instance in creator's user pages. Thetrick (talk) 07:42, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Unused template that is unlikely to ever be used, we, in practice, rarely, if ever, indef block IP's, and I don't see any use for this template. Steve Crossin  (talk)  (email)  04:44, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, Delete. We already have the indef blocked IP template anyways, so I will agree with Steve that there is no need for this template. NHRHS2010 | Talk to me  20:41, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Things like tor nodes, open proxies, and colo IPs are sometimes blocked indef. So it does have some use.  MBisanz  talk 06:56, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * In fact, we do have an Template:Indefblockedip template. NHRHS2010 | Talk to me  00:42, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per MBisanz. While it's somewhat redundant, it still has some use, such as for WP:NOPs. -- Mizu onna sango15 / 水 女 珊瑚15  23:58, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: I checked the use of this template, and it seems it isn't used on any pages at all. That's the reason I nominated it for deletion. Steve Crossin   (talk)  (email)  04:13, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That is because it is a subst'd template that should never have any linked uses.  MBisanz  talk 21:58, 15 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep agreeing with MBisanz' first comment. However, I would not object to having (if it' possible) the template merged with and re-directed to Template:Indefblockedip. Acalamari 16:36, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Template:Blockedtroll


Unused template, derivitave of, seems there's no reason for this template, at all, and is unlikely to be used. Steve Crossin  (talk)  (email)  04:42, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Template that includes 1 wikilink. Might have been the start of a navbox. 1 article and 2 userpage instances. Thetrick (talk) 00:27, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I spoke too soon on this. There's a whole forest of these bitsy templates out there being built by some football project, and this one just happened to have been tagged as uncategorized (though the other I looked at didn't have a category).  Still, only one article use.  --Thetrick (talk) 00:45, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
