The template is minimal (with links elsewhere) and little significance seeing as the series is defunct and was quite minor in the first place. Officially Mr X (talk) 18:15, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Entirely redlinks, minus title. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:50, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * delete. As nom only one blue link on template, which kind of defeats the point. Used on two articles one of which is the one blue link on the template.  On a separate note, I would be unsure whether American Football in Europe is prominent enough to justify all of these articles. Pit-yacker (talk) 13:50, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

No used, not useful. Damiens .rf 15:36, 29 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete unnecessary, as deletion of sections is not part of deletion policy, and shouldn't be (as the BOLD, revert, discuss cycle can be used). snigbrook (talk) 21:50, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per above reasons from Damiens.rf and Snigbrook. Anyone hesitant to delete sections without approval can bring it up on the article's talk page, Lord Spongefrog,   (I am Czar of all Russias!)  17:56, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Unnecessary, unused, orphaned fork of Template:MySpace –xenotalk 14:19, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral, for now - Unused. It could be used, but I'm not sure if this is appropriate for Wikipedia, it has a...well...WP:MYSPACE-y feel to it. Then again, it might direct unnecessary talk page chit-chat away from Wikipedia (wait. I may have this all wrong. Is this for displaying the MySpace page of a Wikipedian, presumably on that user's userpage? I'll assume yes, until notified otherwise), Lord Spizzilizounge,   (I am Czar of all Russias!)  21:07, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - unnecessary. If people want to link their MySpace from their userpage, okay, I've seen it done before. But we don't need to provide a special template for it. Jamie  S93  13:04, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete- redundant and unused. Pit-yacker (talk) 13:44, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - People can link to their MySpace page if they want, maybe it helps. But templates to format it are completely unnecessary. We have these for articles so that (presumably?) there's a degree of uniformity in external links of the same type, eg. IMDb, MySpace. But userpages aren't articles. And it's orphaned, Lord Spongefrog,   (I am Czar of all Russias!)  16:44, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to the original template. The fork appears to have been created to keep user pages out of an article category (Category:Celebrities with Myspace accounts).  Even if the category is recreated and added to Template:MySpace, a separate template wouldn't be needed as the main template could be changed to only add the category when used in articles. snigbrook (talk) 22:00, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, the reason it was created was that the MySpace template was being used outside of the article namespace, and thus the Whatlinkshere was giving tons of garbage. This was an attempt to minimize the amount of userpages etc using the template. (I created this template four years ago.) --  Zanimum (talk) 17:33, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Absolutely not, and inquiring at the FA pages would have been helpful. This template is currently not in use only because GimmeBot does the work; should anything happen to GimmeBot, we still need this template, and that's why we've kept it (and other similar templates) around. IF the bot were to go down for some unforeseen reason, I would need this template, and having to recreate it during a bot crisis would not be fun. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 16:17, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I suspect this nom came about because I marked the template as deprecated last year. As Sandy says, we don't currently use this template because we are fortunate to have a bot that employs ArticleHistory on failed FACs, but we need to keep it around in case manual FAC closes become necessary. Maralia (talk) 19:02, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Actually, this template isn't inserted by a bot, rather, it is what would be manually inserted if the bot was unavailable. Imzadi1979 (talk) 00:07, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
