 * Scoutbasketball

Appears to be a non-notable website with no evidence of being reliable, with the template being used for possible WP:Spam. Created by User:Ricardomm2 (suspected WP:SOCK), and used by User:Ricardomm (suspected sockmaster). —Bagumba (talk) 20:32, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination rationale. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 11:44, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete it's a dinkie site, and it looks like the creators have gone around trying to promote it. Definitely doesn't deserve its own template. DaHuzyBru (talk) 15:28, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Ricardomm has explicitly said that they're editing to try and gain more visits to their site.  Blatant promotion. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 15:58, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I expect this will be deletion without replacement by bare links? —PC-XT+ 07:42, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * That's my !vote, PC-XT. "Scoutbasketball.com" is not the same thing as the widely known, used and cited recruiting evaluation service "Scout.com."  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 09:55, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok. Deletion without replacement seems appropriate, here, due to the promotion and sock concerns as well as the source, itself, being questionable. —PC-XT+ 19:07, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Sorry, it's my faul. I'll read carefully the conditions before editing. Ricardomm (talk) 21:03, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete All - per previous consensus, being team captain is not significant enough. JMHamo (talk) 18:37, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete all per the Snowman's nomination rationale. (And thank you for the thorough job in notifying the creator of these templates five times.   ; )   Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:19, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Infobox GP2 team

It's unnecessary duplication of the Template:Infobox motor racing team. Also in the case of ART Grand Prix which will join Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, I think that DTM will be definetely more important series than GP2 Series. Cybervoron (talk) 13:22, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment regarding notice -  Please do not forget to notify the template creator about this pending TfD.  You may use the templated TfD notice on the TfD instructions page.  Thank you for your cooperation.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:24, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

 * I have provided notice of this TfD to the template creator on 21 February 2015: . Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 11:50, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as redundant, after replacing the mere 20 transclusions. Note: I have renamed the template to Infobox GP2 team in the interim. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:47, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's not a particularly well designed template to be honest. The creator did not seem to take into account how the template would work on ex-teams, where it's far easier just to use the generic team infobox. Also consider the fact that the vast majority of GP2 outfits run teams in other equally notable motor racing series, which makes the focus this infobox places on GP2 rather unbalanced.

 * comment should consider template:Infobox GP3 team as well. Frietjes (talk) 22:34, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
