This is overly-specific to the point where it's not obviously more useful than a talk page comment. Used on only one article (tongue). Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 10:27, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

I can see situations where it might be useful, but I certainly haven't encountered any other than anthropocentric ones, which are justifiable (more people are looking for information about humans, more is known about humans, etc.). We should delete it.  ~rezecib  ( talk ) 19:00, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment. I wasn't going to tag this for deletion until I was sure that Bovineboy2008 had ironed out all the wrinkles in film date. If he doesn't require this template any more, then I have no objection to a G7 speedy. PC78 (talk) 11:05, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. JJ98 (talk) 08:50, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to its code-equivalent zwsp, so its usage on User-pages etc, where we cannot or should not edit, is not broken (probably some 5 such pages will remain). -DePiep (talk) 09:03, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Question Is it OK and necessary that the TfD-template is transcluded? This way it will spoil some pages for some 7 days. E.g. this page is spoiled, while I am discussing other issues for that same page. Speedy into redirect? Use ? -DePiep (talk) 09:03, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to zwsp. I created the template. - Gilgamesh (talk) 18:54, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to zwsp. Joaquin008  ( talk ) 15:27, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: I suggest Speedy redirect. No snowball. Nom writes "... unused", which is incorrect. It is used on Talkpages and so. -DePiep (talk) 19:05, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to zwsp. We can put a note on the page suggesting that users use zwsp instead, should the name this template currently occupies become desirable for a (new) justified template.  ~rezecib  ( talk ) 19:38, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Not used. Seems to have been made for Lagadapati Rajagopal, but has (correctly) been replaced with Template:Infobox Indian politician. Johnuniq (talk) 04:41, 29 August 2010 (UTC)


 * CSD G2? Going by the name of the template I'm guessing this was a test page. Unused and redundant in any case. PC78 (talk) 23:28, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Does not seem to be useful at all; I don't think there is ever any real need to change fonts on Wikipedia except on user pages. ANDROS1337  01:18, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. JJ98 (talk) 08:47, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Well as you can see from the list of uses, I have used it in text such as "The Equestrian Statue of King Christian IX  (Rytterstatuen af Christian IX ) at the ..." since in my view serif is much better for Roman numerals. I looked for a Roman numeral template but could not find one. Does anybody know a good way to present these? I found that this template does not work inside a wikilink so I have not used it consistently anyway. I can live without this small attempt at perfection, especially as it is only used in the one article. Mirokado (talk) 23:37, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I have now removed the usages of Font in the article and my user page. Possibilities for Roman numerals include: using font tags directly (fussy and also does not work in wikilinks), using code tags (but that would change the font family too much) and using the Unicode Roman numerals (but fonts I have seen do not provide special glyphs for them so there is not much point). I've decided not to bother. So I have no objection to this template being removed. Mirokado (talk) 00:19, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
