The result of the discussion was redirect the other template. Izkala (talk) 22:36, 11 May 2016 (UTC) There is already a template for this club (Template:Fb team Al Masry). There is no use for this template. Ben5218 (talk) 20:43, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Fb team Al-Masry
 * Keep. The Wikipedia article is Al-Masry SC with a dash, and I think that'd be the better template to use. Regarding the other template, a redirect from Template:Fb team Al Masry to Template:Fb team Al-Masry could work. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:28, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

If it's no longer serving a purpose, it seems fair to delete it. Thanks for letting me know Matto  paedia  Say G'Day!  06:39, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Template:Amsterdam Metro stations

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was keep. Izkala (talk) 12:25, 9 May 2016 (UTC) Propose merging Template:Amsterdam Metro stations with Template:Metro.
 * Amsterdam Metro stations
 * Metro

In a recent RM on Talk:Amstelveen Centrum metro station, it was agreed upon that stations served only by line 51 use the undefined format and that metro stations shared with NS railways use the undefined format. All other stations use the undefined format. This could be making the template obsolete? Or how should we deal with this? &#60;&#60;&#60; SOME GADGET GEEK &#62;&#62;&#62; (talk) 18:08, 17 April 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * It looks like some redirects may be needed, but otherwise Agree. Useddenim (talk) 20:57, 17 April 2016 (UTC) Keep. Required for S-line. Useddenim (talk) 21:03, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose Do you understand how this series of succession templates work together with s-line templates? Secondarywaltz (talk) 00:24, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was keep. Izkala (talk) 12:25, 9 May 2016 (UTC) Propose merging Template:Rotterdam Metro stations with Template:Metro.
 * Rotterdam Metro stations
 * Metro

As with the Amsterdam Metro station template below, the articles have been moved to new names as per the RM at Talk:Kralingse Zoom metro station. Now all of the metro-only stations use undefined, while those shared with NS railways use undefined. In both cases, a merger with the metro template would be ideal. &#60;&#60;&#60; SOME GADGET GEEK &#62;&#62;&#62; (talk) 18:31, 17 April 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * It looks like some redirects may be needed, but otherwise Agree. Useddenim (talk) 20:57, 17 April 2016 (UTC) Keep. Required for S-line. Useddenim (talk) 21:03, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose Do you understand how this series of succession templates works? Templates Rotterdam Metro lines, stations and color, (with the same prefix) work together with s-line templates and are looking for a matching name. Your article renaming now requires you to distinguish between metro stations and tram stops, and any other names that don't fit the default in that stations template. This is not what the Template:Metro does. 00:23, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was redirect to ffd. (non-admin closure) ~ RobTalk 03:17, 13 May 2016 (UTC) As WP:PUF is now closed, this template can either be marked historical or redirected to ffd (for the benefit of people who may still accidentally use this template due to muscle memory or the like) Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 11:49, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Puf


 * Retarget to WP:FFD Template:Ffd per nom. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 14:03, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The nom suggested it be redirected to the template Template:Ffd, not FFD. Did you mean to be inconsistent? --Izno (talk) 02:41, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
 * No, my mistake. Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 10:16, 3 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Per nom, redirect to ffd. --Izno (talk) 02:41, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirecting to ffd seems to be the least confusing solution. However, since puf and ffd do not have exactly the same parameters, it's maybe better to change the wikicode to . This should ensure that the template also works with puf's date parameter, which is missing from the ffd template. --Stefan2 (talk) 23:50, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
