 * Wikinews portal

Completely unused in article space, and does not appear to have any functionalty whatsoever not covered by the main Template:Wikinews
 * Comment I don't see why this couldn't be used on Wikipedia Portals to link to Wikinews portals. I wouldn't expect this to be used in ArticleSpace at all. Though someone will need to roll it out for portals. -- 65.94.171.206 (talk) 05:32, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Afaics, this only links to portals on English Wikinews; and on English Wikinews, portals are &mdash; for practical purposes &mdash; deprecated in favor of categories.  --Pi zero (talk) 10:41, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't quite see any issue with just using in the rare event that a portal exists. But, as I said, this template is unused Adam Cuerden (talk) 02:29, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

 * delete, doesn't appear it was every widely used. Frietjes (talk) 23:25, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment If it's explicitly stated that the template must be subst:'d when using it in your signature, it might be useful. Though I'm not sure how people would find it, so leaning delete anyway. Adam Cuerden (talk) 03:09, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Google books with page

Obsolete. User:Arcadian created this in March 2009, but it became redundant in November 2009 when the page parameter was added to template:Google books. With the author's permission I have replaced the 5 transclusions. It seemed to take parameters in fixed positions without labels, so cannot be merged & redirected. Author agrees that it is redundant, see User talk:Arcadian. – Fayenatic  L ondon 18:48, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

 * YFZ Ranch raid
 * FLDS Church

Propose merging Template:YFZ Ranch raid with Template:FLDS Church.

Very little in this template isn't in the general and more extensive FLDS Church template, and what isn't really isn't really related to the YFZ ranch except in general non-specific way. Is is just general information regarding Child abuse. While at the time of creation no FLDS Church template existed, so it was as a good template, however, I don't see a need anymore for it any more. --ARTEST4ECHO (talk) 16:22, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - the proposal to merge makes sense. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 18:07, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

 * The Menagerie

A navigational template for a stable that hasn't even performed yet? Way too early, come back if they really become notable Fram (talk) 12:04, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep The stable has debuted on TV with the May 8th showing of Impact, plus there are spoiler reports on wrestling sites such as Gerweck that indicate they will be on TV for until at least early June. Tabercil (talk) 12:54, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete No notable. Today, the stable isn't notable. Maybe in a few months. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 18:26, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - As per my vote to keep the accompanying article, as I've done a lot of work to improve the article, and the next few weeks of (already taped) Impact Wrestling will show they will be a major part of the show. Vjmlhds (talk) 21:59, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment if this is kept, it should be renamed to match the main article as The Menagerie has a multitude of uses, so this should be called The Menagerie (professional wrestling) -- 65.94.171.206 (talk) 06:20, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep The stable is noteworthy. It will keep getting more notable and we will just have to remake it. There is no point in deleting it and the stable isnt going anywhere anytime soon. Black Dragon  23:07, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Note. The article about the stable has just been deleted. I guess that makes most "keep because the stable is notable" votes above a bit outdated. Fram (talk) 10:02, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Terrorist attacks in India (since 2001)

Redundant with the similar template Template:Campaignbox India terrorism that we have since 2007 while this was created only in 2013. Someone has been quite enthusiastic about creating it and replacing it on majority of pages with old one for no apparent reason. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 09:05, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes it is a fork of an old campaign box but new template is better organized and updated. It does not matter if we delete old instead of new one. If you delete new than please merge both data and format old one by reorganization of data. Regards -Nizil (talk) 17:24, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * And you thought of creating a new one of yours disregarding the efforts of many other editors for 6+ years and then replaced it on all articles because of what? Weren't you aware of the edit button on the first template? §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 03:54, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
