This appears to be of little or no benefit to the reader, are we to have templates for each and every politician? All the links (or almost all) are already linked in the body of the article. Off2riorob (talk) 18:43, 4 April 2010 (UTC) Off2riorob (talk) 18:43, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Even more useless than Peter Mandleson's ShawnIsHere (talk) 14:04, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete – Completely useless; if some of the content isn't in the article, just move it to the article. We do not need a separate template for each person. — MC10 ( T • C • GB •L)  21:02, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Two uses, redundant with other column templates. -— Gadget850 (Ed)  talk 14:48, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Few uses; entirely redundant with Refbegin which has more features. -— Gadget850 (Ed)  talk 13:27, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, replacing with refbegin where appropriate (ie, where columns are actually needed, bearing in mind they only work in some browsers (afaik)). -- Quiddity (talk) 19:42, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to refbegin so there's no confusion about creating another template and change the current cases to use refbegin and refend. — MC10 ( T • C • GB •L)  21:01, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Propose merging Template:Inuse-elapsed with Template:In use.

I propose to merge Inuse-elapsed into In use. In other words, to add the timestamp to In use. It is a useful function, and there is no need why the main template shouldn't have it. Debresser (talk) 06:30, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. Less redundancy. --<b style="color:#3773A5;">Cyber</b> cobra (talk) 07:22, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge Sometimes editors forget to remove this template.--Banana (talk) 22:55, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge, and add the features into In use. There's no need for a bot to replace all the transclusions of Inuse-elapsed; just use the same format (unless the formats are drastically different). — MC10 ( T • C • GB •L)  22:04, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

As stated in a first nomination, there are a number of templates that make the cumbersome and ugly "Italian people" template redundant, from Template:Italian language to Template:Italian diaspora ecc. The original nomination was closed as 'keep' because of the votes of what were later revealed to be sockpuppets of blocked User:Brunodam. Deusdemona (talk) 02:52, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
