 * Keep per WP:REDLINK (not broken) with clear WP:GNG subjects. UW Dawgs (talk) 15:52, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Meh, weak keep at 3 blue links, now. If more are coming, this can stay. I'm not opposed to keeping a few of these short term. —PC-XT+ 07:25, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as per WP:EXISTING and WP:NAVBOX. We don't use navboxes for non-existent articles because our guidelines say navboxes are used to (quoting NAVBOX) "facilitate navigation between ... articles". Per WP:REDNOT, excessive red links are not used in navboxes. No prejudice against immediately recreating this when we have 4-5 links, but it's not clear that more of these articles will be written soon. ~ Rob 13 Talk 04:48, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Just a note that this nomination was created nearly 30 days ago, and the forthcoming articles have still not been created. Not sure if this would change anything for you, but since your rationale states "If more are coming", I thought you might want to look again. ~ Rob 13 Talk 00:16, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
 * 3 articles to navigate, including the main article, with no work towards more at present, so ok, deletion or userfication would be ok with me. It's rather trivial —PC-XT+ 20:35, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

 * CalPhotos
 * Calphotos
 * A CalPhotos template would serve a purpose. There are many links to CalPhotos image galleries on Wikipedia, and the use of a template would simplify and standardize them. Currently, Template:Calphotos (with more convoluted template syntax) doesn't work, and Template:CalPhotos does. I support deletion of the template that doesn't work, and replacement of manually generated links to CalPhotos galleries with Template:CalPhotos. I can add a few transclusions today. — Eru·tuon 06:07, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Worrying though, that the CalPhotos template produces a warning about an invalid web site certificate (self-signed root certificate, expires 2020). If this isn't fixed, I'll consider removing links to the site. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 14:03, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Huh, I'm not sure where you're seeing that. Could you contact the staff at UC Berkeley? — Eru·tuon 17:04, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, I just clicked a link generated by the template, and the problem was my mistake: I used https:// and somehow that generates an error. I switched to http://. Does that fix the problem? — Eru·tuon 17:11, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
 * When I click the link from Sisyrinchium bellum, it generates the https version, and the error. If I manually change that to the http version, it works. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 17:27, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm seeing http in the link from Sisyrinchium bellum now. — Eru·tuon 18:22, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was Relisted at Templates for discussion/Log/2016 August 14. (non-admin closure) Primefac (talk) 01:49, 14 August 2016 (UTC) Redundant fork of Bach cantatas. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:06, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Secular cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach
 * Keep — logical subset of Bach's cantatas, see List of secular cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach. --Francis Schonken (talk) 10:13, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: when the template was created it was not a subset of Bach cantatas, but the cantatas listed in the template for discussion were removed from the traditional template. I reverted that because I believe all cantatas should be in one template. NOW it is a subset. I don't think it's necessary, but also not harmful when shown in addition to the other. It has (more than the other) a lot of German titles, which I don't think will help the average reader. Nice, but not needed, sorry. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:03, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
 * If you don't have problem with "shown in addition" why did you remove them from · BWV 36a · 36b · 36c · 66a · 134a · 210 · 210a
 * instead of just re-adding the general template?
 * The rest of the reasoning (and in fact also the nomination) is undiluted WP:IDONTLIKE. --Francis Schonken (talk) 11:25, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Please do not attempt to speak for me. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:13, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Bach's secular cantatas form a meaningful set, see List of secular cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach and Category:Secular cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach. Your argumentation reads: "redundant fork ...", then see WP:NOTDUP: "It is neither improper nor uncommon to simultaneously have a category, a list, and a navigation template which all cover the same topic.

This template that seems rather unnecessary for a few reasons. For one, it's only purpose seems to be to link to pages within Wikipedia with built-in paragraph formatting; this is redundant to manually linking pages within Wikipedia with paragraph formatting. And secondly, per the way Template:ARSS/1 is currently built, those internal pages within Wikipedia are set up as external links instead of internal links. (Even if this were to be fixed, this template still seems unnecessary. Also, the template's instructions since 2009 were to substitute the template ... which creates over a hundred lines of unnecessary code.)

 * The templates are for use in the political party's article, plus the article for the legislative body. Except for "PakSen JIP" (which was previously created for Senate of Pakistan), these other templates are new and have only been applied to the party-specific articles. Eventually, I will add them to the articles for their corresponding assemblies, where they can also be used for calculated values for the size of ruling & opposition coalitions, as well as a count of total vacant seats. The objective is to reduce editing time, page histories, and errors. Farolif (talk) 15:58, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Apparently, it is perceived that there needs to be more discussion on this matter, but I'm not sure how much more needs to be said.

 * What about using WikiData for these? —PC-XT+ 05:34, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I haven't explored WikiData as an option. What would be the advantages of using that vs the current template method? Farolif (talk) 02:00, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
 * WikiData can be used on other projects, similar to files on Commons. It would need to be set up, though. I'm not sure what the best way to do it would be, but it might be worth looking into... —PC-XT+ 05:00, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
 * WikiData still requires a code to call up the piece of data within an article. Maybe I'm oversimplifying the platform's functions, but how does that remedy the original concern in this case? Farolif (talk) 16:24, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The original concern of data storage in template space would disappear. WikiData would use parserfunction calls instead of templates, with much the same result. The documentation concern should be handled by part of setup on WikiData one time, instead of once per template. A drawback is that retrieving a different article's WikiData entry is expensive, so it may be better to have a copy for each page, for better performance. The templates can be used anywhere on Wikipedia relatively cheaply. WikiData can be used on other projects relatively cheaply if assigned to the page using it, meaning one or two copies of the data to update in total instead of one template or hardcoded data to update per language. Template names are easier to work with than WikiData identifiers. It's still not obvious to me that WikiData would be better, but the trade-off may have some advantages. —PC-XT+ 17:20, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The original concern was not template space. The original question raised by WOSlinker was the purpose of creating the templates in the first place. The only space that could potentially be saved is in the documentation of said purpose, which the OP has expressed should be added in order to justify the objects' existence to other users that might stumble across them as well. Farolif (talk) 16:56, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I was reading the nomination as asking why template space is being used for these. I'm not talking about space as a measurement, such as number of characters, but an area, as in, having the prefix "Template:" similar to article space or user space. (I'm actually not sure how much the size of template documentation really matters, as it's not transcluded.) To simply avoid the need to document every template, another idea is to organize these as subpages of one template which has the documentation. —PC-XT+ 02:32, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I understood what you meant by "space", and that's still not what the nomination was concerned about. How about we skip the tedious documentation entirely, since it should otherwise be obvious to an editor (ie - one who would find these in the first place) what the objects are used for? Farolif (talk) 04:03, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
 * In general, every template should have documentation. Simple subtemplates often don't, instead relying on the main template's documentation. Templates are often misunderstood, even hardcoded ones. Hardcoded templates have no code to look at for purpose, so we need to rely only on usecases to figure them out, which is unreliable. If there are not many usecases, vandalism or accidental damage can easily hide the purpose without any indication to anyone looking at it for the first time. It's hard to check for this. Though original usecases can often be found in the author's contributions around the time the template was created and edited, this can be rather tedious, and they don't always show the full purpose. —PC-XT+ 04:41, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
