There are only three relevant links: Khowar language, Khowar alphabet and possibly Anjuman-e-Tarraqui-e-Khowar.

 * List of role-playing video games
 * That's a separate discussion. Could you please explain your reasoning here? I'm not sure what policy supports deletion, especially considering the massive amount of history from and others. How does moving the text from the template to a linked section (and deleting the template) satisfy the attribution terms of GFDL and CC? Are you suggestion a cross-namespace redirect? ▫  Johnny Mr Nin ja  07:07, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * See the first bullet point of WP:TG; this is needlessly storing article text in templates. As for attribution situations, the usual solution is to move the template to mainspace without leaving a redirect and then redirect it to the article. P p p er y 22:04, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. ▫  Johnny Mr Nin ja  05:14, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

I find the design of "Infobox religious biography" to be suitable for folks like Samuel or Anna the Prophetess when not all editors agree if these are historical figures or merely literary figures. In many cases Wikipedia (or at least the infoboxes) doesn't need to specify (or cannot specify) who is of which type. Have an infobox that doesn't imply either way can save a lot of hassle and debate. Renaming will still make it suitable for historical figures and even more so for literary figures. Furthermore, many Wikipedia articles about historical figures are still not a "detailed description of that person's life"-- which what a biography is-- because it is just an encyclopedia article. tahc chat 15:33, 20 September 2017 (UTC) <div class="xfd_relist" style="border-top: 1px solid #AAA; border-bottom: 1px solid #AAA; padding: 0px 25px;"> Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Template:Infobox Dalai Lama seems to have more in common with Template:Infobox clergy. Why would we not merge with that instead? tahc chat 15:42, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * AIUI, the clergy template is for people of Christian persuasion; the religious biography one is for those who are not. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:52, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * There is nothing to make the clergy template is for clergy of Christian persuasion. Clergy is already a muli-religious term. tahc chat 16:27, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The fact that it is in Category:Christian infobox templates might be a clue... Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:02, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Template:Infobox religious biography to Template:Infobox religious figures.
