 * Ethnic groups of South Asia

Basically, WP:V. I mass-deleted some groups in this new template because I know the articles well & I know that there is often much dispute about their origins etc. That still leaves entries such as Sri Lankan Moors where, if our article is to be believed, there are also disputes relating to origin.

This thing seems to be a time-bomb, as well as a contradiction to what some articles say. I'm not convinced it has been thought through properly. Sitush (talk) 19:01, 14 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete as creator, This template did not turn out the way I indented it to, you can delete it, I didn't mean to cause any trouble. Abrahamic Faiths (talk) 19:03, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep If template has any mistakes then we can improve it. There should be a template on "ethnic groups in South Asia" or "Ethnic Groups in Indian subcontinent", its deserving topic. The said region is very diverse and should have template for ethnic groups. Though creator said to delete this template still creator don't own this template. This template now became property of Wikipedia community. And obviously this template is neither a "vandal template" or "attack template" or "nonsense template". It is template on very informative topic and highly useful for students of this field. -- Human 3015  Call me maybe!! • 20:25, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * It is in fact a "nonsense" template, or at least a misleading one, due to WP:V and WP:NPOV as I explained above. It was a well-intentioned but flawed enterprise. As an additional point, there are over 4000 officially-recognised castes in India and even an iIndia-specific template cannot reasonably handle that volume of entries. Whether caste = ethnic group might be another debate, of course. - Sitush (talk) 20:46, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

 * UEFA Youth League top scorers

Youth soccer is generally non-notable as per consensus at WP:FOOTY JMHamo (talk) 16:25, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

There are templates for FIFA youth championship, like Template:FIFA U-20 World Cup awards and UEFA competitions, so i created this template. But, if its not-notable, you can delete. SPFCSeasons (talk) 01:33, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - It's not that it is an inherently non-notable thing for a navbox, more that with just two awards, it is not really a useful aid to navigation at the moment. I have no problem with this being recreated in a few years when there are more players to link to. Fenix down (talk) 09:30, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Youth league scoring leaders? Navbox cruft.  The fact that there is no stand-alone article or list supporting this navbox per the WP:NAVBOX criteria speaks volumes.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 13:55, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Railway line header2
 * Railway line header (center)

According to WP:ROUTE, the family of these templates (also including Railway line header, BS-header and BS-table) has been deprecated in favour of BS-map. These templates only have 40, 184 and 127 transclusions respectively and can trivially be replaced with BS-map.

 * PortugalLargestCities

A few years ago, the template was to remove but author of this template somehow defended template, author is only user who support the template. Today it is different, they changed standards. Articles of this type were removed over the past few years.

Template break the main rules of the Wikipedia: Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Fails even WP:NAVBOX. Also, no article links to this template. "30 largest cities of Portugal by population" - 30 largest cities? why not 20 or 50 - no sense. Template unnecessary, so - delete.

 * Keep There are, at present, over 200 templates in Category:City population templates—do you propose that all templates with similar content to this one also be deleted? I agree that a source should be added (linking to something like an article on a census; c.f. Most populous cities in the People's Republic of China) but it is unnecessary to delete.

 * you wrong. 200 templates in Category:City population templates are different than Template:PortugalLargestCities. Template:PortugalLargestCities is template to articles about cities (it must be introduced to each article separately), not to main article of country like Most populous cities in the People's Republic of China and other.

 * Most populous cities in the People's Republic of China is transcluded at the bottom of Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Tianjin, Xi'an, Wuhan, and the rest of the 20 articles linked from the navbox.

 * I am skipping the fact that the template still breaking the three fundamental principles of Wikipedia. Most articles about cities in Wikipedia do not have templates of this type (like Template:PortugalLargestCities), I could give a thousands examples. The fact that maybe a few countries like China have it does not mean anything. Also, there is template of largest cities of Portugal in main article of country, see (template like other from category), so.

 * Changed vote to Delete and replace (both this template and the navbox on the article Portugal) with Largest cities of Portugal, which uses the standard Largest cities table. If the consensus for European countries is to place the template only on the country article then do so.

 * Delete Redundant to Largest cities of Portugal, clearly.  Expandable to 30 cities, if there ever is consensus to do to.96.52.0.249 (talk) 22:51, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
