Underused graphs

 * 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 no consensus to delete all of them. The major concern is dropping huge/complicated coding into the middle of an article. If a template can be easily "simplified" using existing templates like Graph:Chart there is NPASR for renomination of that specific template. Primefac (talk) 15:00, 15 February 2018 (UTC) Single-use templates; should be merged with the articles &#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery (talk) 15:41, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Graph:BTS Skytrain ridership
 * Graph:Most Expensive Cars
 * Graph:Most Expensive Books
 * Graph:Most Expensive Paintings
 * Financial performance of Airbus SE
 * Most Viewed YouTube Video (this one is used only on a talk page)
 * New Zealand Labour Party membership
 * Number of executive orders signed by Barack Obama
 * Number of executive orders signed by Donald Trump

+ These graphs are very long, complicated wikitext: why not keep them in their own space? That way one can also make lots of finicky format changes without affecting the edit history of the article. – SJ + 16:51, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
 * - these graphs are too complex and long to be merged into the main article - making it nearly impossible for novice user to understand. I do agree that some of them (most expensive XXX) should be merged into one template, with the actual data moved to Data: namespace on Commons. This would allow much better reuse of the concept. --Yurik (talk) 19:15, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

 * delete Graph:BTS Skytrain ridership and Financial performance of Airbus SE and New Zealand Labour Party membership after simplifying [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3AGraph%3ABTS_Skytrain_ridership&action=historysubmit&type=revision&diff=824148799&oldid=823972819 like this] and merging with the articles. if you use Graph:Chart, the content is not too complex to merge with the articles.

 * Comment Added four more similar templates &#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery (talk) 20:23, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment/Oppose I created Template:New Zealand Labour Party membership. I'm perplexed by the deletion proposal and the rationale provided; of course it's only used on one article! It's only relevant to one article (at least until an article on Membership of the New Zealand Labour Party is created). As Yurik notes, these templates contain complex formatting that would be obtrusive within the larger article. I think this is a very ill-founded proposal. --Hazhk (talk) 20:34, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Do not merge the "Most Expensive" graphs. Too long. Also strip any (all) of surrounding text. I am not familiar with Data: on commons though.  Ꞷ  umbolo   21:18, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm rather sympathetic to the argument that really tricky stuff is best kept out of article space. There are no gains to be made by confusing newbies with unnecessary code. Keeping these things in a template seems a clean and sensible approach.  Schwede 66  06:29, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
