Eurocentric NPOV on what wars are World War. Source is a 1980's American high school textbook listed in Lies My Teacher Told Me. This is the only source for the classification, which is never used. All in all no suffficient claim to notability of this classification, and serious doubts about the reliability/neutrality of the source. Arnoutf (talk) 09:15, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I've told them before, this template is nonsense. Delete it. Rebel Redcoat (talk) 16:11, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Sure go ahead. I don't take this personally and am not offended. SpencerCS (talk) 21:10, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was keep and move to Template:XBLA Summer of Arcade. Airplaneman  ✈  14:51, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

A seemingly pointless template. Not even an article for "Summer of Arcade" nor a "Summer of Arcade 2010" and header links to "Xbox Live", "Xbox Live Arcade", and "2010". Somewhat of a cruft template that doesn't do much more than link a few random games together. Jmlk 1  7  08:02, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

*Delete - could easily be viewed as WP:ADVERT, plus there isn't a XBLA Summer 2010 article to establish the need for a template. If there's no coverage outside of Microsoft, then there's no need for a template. --Teancum (talk) 04:17, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, Expand, and Move to Template:XBLA Summer of Arcade. Summer of Arcades have been widely covered by the media as seen in  this WP:Video Games reliable sources search, however limiting it to the 2010 year seems a bit of WP:LISTCRUFT.  Expanding the template to cover all years would provide more notability.  The template seems to have been created by a semi-active user who did not know WP policies, but was acting in good faith. --Teancum (talk) 20:29, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Expanded template to include all current years, pointed header to Xbox Live Arcade --Teancum (talk) 20:38, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Deprecated and unused. Renominated per Templates_for_discussion/Log/2010_January_24 and alternately suggest incorporating ruby-zh-p, ruby-zh-b, and ruby-ja per Templates_for_discussion/Log/2009_December_4. E.g. can replace. Does this seem reasonable? If consensus is to fold these templates into one, then I will suggest deletion or redirection of the other three. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:34, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to Ruby adding a lang parameter to the Ruby template. Otherwise disable or delete Ruby as unnecessary. (Note: A disabled template has all content in &lt;noinclude&gt; tags.) – allen四names 11:02, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
