 * Language

Duplicates ISO 639 name, no longer used. — Lfdder (talk) 22:39, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment ISO 15924 is not ISO 639, but the 639 template accepts 15924 codes. There's something wrong with that. Therefore, "ISO 639" is a bad name for the template. ISO language should be the template name, it should accept 639 or 15924 codes (and extensions, such as found at linguistlist.org). An equivalent language ISO would do the reverse, to spit out 639 and/or 15924 codes (and extensions, such as found at linguistlist.org) from their canonical names. language should be rebuilt to take in all codes and canonical names, and generate a name-code pairing. -- 76.65.131.217 (talk) 11:19, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * More precisely, it accepts IETF language tags -- but, prototypically, it translates ISO 639 codes to names. ISO language is ambiguous; ISO language what? Name to code conversion is notoriously problematic and of limited use. ISO 639 name is being developed at Module:ISO 639 name. — Lfdder (talk) 11:51, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * "ISO language" is intentionally ambiguous, because "639" is wrong, you need a more generic name for the template as it accepts other codes. If it is IETF language tags, then it should be called IETF language name or somesuch. And the inverse template IETF language code ; language would then exist for spitting out pairs from both types of input, and IETF language would redirect there (allowing for expansion for non-IETF coding) -- 76.65.131.217 (talk) 05:15, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
 * what we call it isn't very important and can be resolved elsewhere. Either way, language would be a terrible nmme for it (language what?). So language would exist as a wrapper? Why would we want non-IETF coding? They're not valid Lang tags, what do we do with conflicts, etc. — Lfdder (talk) 09:40, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
 * It might be a wrapper, depending on coding. And I don't see how it's a poor name, since it would provide a language name and a language code -- 76.65.131.217 (talk) 04:52, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * what would the input be? — Lfdder (talk) 10:38, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * At the moment, I forsee, canonical name per ISO/IETF documents, ISO/IETF language/script code, and common name. A name-clash would pop an error and ask you to use named parameters instead, to indicate the type of input being provided -- 76.65.131.217 (talk) 04:54, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
 * ISO/IETF code to name is what Module:ISO 639 name does. If there's need/want for the opposite and if it's feasible, it could be added to this module or a new one. What are you suggesting we do with Module:ISO 639 name and its template if we're to keep this? — Lfdder (talk) 11:11, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand per reasons mentioned above by 76.65.131.217. Abrahamic Faiths (talk) 22:50, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * sigh. Have you seen the work at Module:ISO 639 name? — Lfdder (talk) 23:15, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Drive-by !voting is an absolute pleasure. — Lfdder (talk) 10:07, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Substitute this template will surely be recreated if delete. LT90001 (talk) 22:57, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * substitute with what? We could salt it or make it a redirect to lang. — Lfdder (talk) 23:22, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

 * IMac Models

I think iMac pages are well connected and there is a better navbox at the bottom of each page for better navigation that this one. Magioladitis (talk) 22:32, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Somali Architecture

all the links are too generic, hence the sidebar is not bidirectional. only two transclusions. Frietjes (talk) 18:05, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Infobox bangladeshi cyclists

Redundant to Template:Infobox organisation, with which it was replaced in this edit. eh bien mon prince (talk) 15:24, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Please kindly do not delete this infobox as I have used it in my article in Wikipedia. If you really want to delete it please kindly guide me to an infobox that has the items/labels that exists in this infobox. I have previously tried to uses the infobox: organization but unfortunately it does not have all the items that I wanted to use. This is why I created this infobox.

 * IMDb bio

Recently changed all uses to and marked as deprecated. Technically speedy-eligible but due to October 5 TfD of Template:IMDb name+Template:IMDb bio I am going through the formalities of XfD in case there are any objections. I expect this will be non-controversial and can be closed as "delete" after a week without re-listing if there is no discussion at all. There will be some cleanup to do in the documentation page(s) of related templates (see Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:IMDb bio). davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  14:23, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
