Replace and then delete (cannot be tagged, as it is protected. Tagging might also break thousands of tables.) —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:14, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It's potentially confusing - I'd never seen it before, and wouldn't know what to make of it if I found it in a page. However, wikitable markup is a total disaster, so in that respect it should probably be kept as a more readable alternative (I find more readable than   ). — This, that, and the other (talk)  06:23, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong keep this is needed for WP:Parser functions doing a subst will break all of them. The pipe symbol cannot be substed in. -- 65.92.181.190 (talk) 20:28, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
 * who said they would be substituted? the suggestion is to replace   with , which does the exact same thing, and uses the same number of characters.  now, which is more readable is debatable.  the same could be said for   which is redundant to  , but that one isn't deprecated for some reason. 174.56.57.138 (talk) 21:09, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
 * As mentioned, given the fact that we can use, the template does not seem of any use. As for  , this seems a little more readable than  .--Patrick (talk) 01:07, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep while it could easily be replaced by  it does have a specific semantic meaning, i.e. that thing you use if you need a table markup in a template. It has only recently been marked as deprecated.--Salix (talk): 11:02, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I've always thought this was ugly, but let's work on orphaning it first before we decide by fiat that nobody is to use it any more. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 13:37, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * keep As above, this has different semantics to  . Also there appears to bee no nomination rationale here beyond, "Six years ago, some other editor didn't understand what it was for".
 * Also censure Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ who has taken it upon himself to start orphaning this template already, even while the TfD is still running.   (and on other's userpages, no less). Some of the vast list is here Andy Dingley (talk) 09:56, 28 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep: Some editors use this for convenience. I do not see a reason to TfD ! either (if there is anything like that to pop up in future) either because it is superlatively essential for this whole project to work. --Marianian(talk) 22:27, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Just fix them. There is no template needed. Apteva (talk) 03:08, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
 * A boilerplate message to people about a failed proposal (ie. failed speedy move) would seem to be in order, so they can get around to making a full request. (unlike WP:CFD, WP:RM does not list failed speedy requests in the speedy section) ; And a you didn't fill that in properly message for messed up requested move formulations would also seem to be a good idea, to get people to read the instructions more closely. -- 65.92.181.190 (talk) 04:16, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
