 * Insane

Pointless template with 2 transclusions, not really humorous, and which user?  Rcsprinter  (talk)  09:57, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Userfy to the one user who is using it (Notedgrant - the other use is in a sandbox). — This, that, and the other (talk) 11:05, 5 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Userfy inappropriate to leave this on mainspaceCurb Chain (talk) 04:12, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Pictogram reply.svg|20px]] Userfy - for the person who's using it. -- Σ  talk  contribs  04:45, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Subst and delete. A three-year-old template unused except by one editor; if it were more recent, one could argue that it was still new and might be adopted by other users, but that's obviously not the case.  Note that the template, in a near-identical form, was apparently previously deleted as a result of this 2004 discussion.  Its 2008 re-creation is arguably speedily deletable as WP:G4. TJRC (talk) 20:53, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. It doesn't matter if there are 50 users using it, it shouldn't be on the Template namespace. If anyone really wants it to stay as a template, move it to their userspace. Otherwise, substitute it at its 2 transclusions. ...Dynamic&#124;cimanyD... (talk&#124;klat) ☺ 13:16, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Selection of Steinway's Royal Warrants of Appointment

Template's purpose is purely promotional. None of the linked articles have information about the Steinway warrant. Binksternet (talk) 07:06, 5 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Purely promotional, created for the purpose of promoting Steinway, by now-blocked editor User:Peoplefromarizona, found to be a sockpuppet for another blocked user, whose history largely consists of edits to promote Steinway. TJRC (talk) 15:29, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Listify purely promotional as aboveCurb Chain (talk) 04:09, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't object to a list. It would be less in-your-face than a template transcluded into multiple articles, and would be much more amenable to being referenced. TJRC (talk) 18:30, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Question/comment what should we do about the other promotional templates like Template:British Royal Warrant holders? --Siliciustheone (talk) 08:51, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I see that as a distinct issue. It mentions multiple companies, but is not a promotional template in the sense that the one under discussion is, driven to promote a single company. If you think the British Royal Warrant holders is not appropriate, it would probably be best to open a separate TfD for it; and include others of the same type, if you think that's appropriate. TJRC (talk) 18:30, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * As I see it, the only difference between Template:British Royal Warrant holders created on 11 July 2007 and the one under discussion (Template:Selection of Steinway's Royal Warrants of Appointment) created on 14 August 2011 is that Template:British Royal Warrant holders promotes several companies and the one under discussion (Template:Selection of Steinway's Royal Warrants of Appointment) promotes only one company. --Siliciustheone (talk) 13:07, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
