 * Liverpool F.C. season 2007-08 game log

The result of the discussion was delete, after replacement with infobox rail line. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 02:44, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Infobox Athens Transport

redundant to infobox rail line. it was being used in four articles, before I replaced it with the standard. of course, I can reverse those changes if this tfd closes at keep. Frietjes (talk) 21:52, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep but move to Infobox OASA line: the standard template that you have proposed using is causing the route map to have breaks between stations and I am not convinced that it is appropriate for the Athens Metro lines to have standard templates because of the different script. In addition, MTR has its own infobox template system (see Airport Express (MTR) for an example) and they're doing very well (main template: Infobox MTR line. If you want to delete Infobox Athens Transport then you would have to nominate Infobox MTR line for deletion as well. However, I would move it to Infobox OASA line anyway, because it will also cover the Athens Proastiakos, and OASA is the Athenian equivalent of TfL in London. --Marianian(talk) 00:11, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * the problem with the gap in the map can be easily fixed by adjusting the "box_width" parameter. as for MTR line, that would be WP:OTHERSTUFF, which I plan to consider soon (see Infobox Translink (SEQ) train line, Infobox chinese rapid transit, and [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=rail+line&prefix=Wikipedia%3ATemplates+for+d&fulltext=Search+archives&fulltext=Search many more]). we should start by addressing the newly created forks. Frietjes (talk) 15:36, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * But wouldn't that mean that metro systems can't have a unique style of presentation on Wikipedia? I am worried that such a move would fall foul of WP:CENSOR. Custom info-box templates are everywhere, even on the oldest systems. --Marianian(talk) 16:00, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Censorship? really?  what information in being suppressed? all that is being proposed is that there should be a uniform presentation of information, and we should strive to not fork infoboxes just because we don't personally like the way one looks.  if there is an acute need for a custom header, try something like Chinese rapid transit header.  however, there should be a strong reason for deviating from the default. Frietjes (talk) 20:07, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The idea of deleting custom rail templates is quite new to me because I developed custom styles for it, so I apologise if I know little about this. If this should happen then we would have to develop a replacement style within the common template... then delete. But I love the idea of replicating the signs on the headers, so let's see what I can produce tonight and then present a prototype. UPDATE: the new prototype is at User:Marianian/Sandbox but I think we will need to add "colour on map" to the infobox and then add a switch for UK/US spelling before "graduating" that. --Marianian(talk) 23:04, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. Surely you mean it can be replaced by Infobox rail line. This template is used for Athens Metro lines not for stations. And yes those MTR lines could probably be replaced too - but that is not what this discussion is about. I say replace this template. Sw2nd (talk) 02:48, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * yes, that was a mistake, it was supposed to be rail line, as demonstrated by [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Line_1_(Athens_Metro)&diff=519465529&oldid=516585177 this change]. Frietjes (talk) 14:33, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. There is also Infobox TfL line. As such I cannot conclude a good rationale for deleting custom infoboxes like Infobox Athens Transport. --Marianian(talk) 11:38, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * thank you for identifying more templates that should be deleted. I will nominate that one next. Frietjes (talk) 14:33, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

 * List of Astro Channels

This template violates WP:NOTDIR; Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a listing service. You don't see any other templates like that (i.e. Template:List of DirecTV channels, do you? Also, WP:articles for deletion/List of AT&T U-verse channels and WP:articles for deletion/List of DirecTV channels (2nd nomination) agree to have mainspace pages deleted. (This nomination is approved by one of my mentors, Dr.K.) George Ho (talk) 05:05, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
