The result of the discussion was delete. Primefac (talk) 00:56, 9 July 2018 (UTC) Redundant, the exact same set of navigation links is available as a line in Indian Institutes of Technology, which is included in each of these articles anyway and seems more appropriate.

The result of the discussion was delete. Primefac (talk) 00:54, 9 July 2018 (UTC) Consensus that only top international tournaments (namely, AFC Asian Cup, Euros, Gold Cup, Libertadores, Confederations Cup, and World Cup etc.) get these templates. ArsenalFan700 (talk) 15:14, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
 * India squad 2008 AFC Challenge Cup

Please remember that in Asia, football level is far different. Countries like India or Philippines are not known to be football-bases, and so is Tajikistan or Lebanon. For them, this is their biggest tournaments they played. Of course it has no longer exist, but so? — Preceding unsigned comment added by FIFAmania (talk • contribs) 15:17, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Template:London Buses route 2 map

 * 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 delete. Primefac (talk) 00:54, 9 July 2018 (UTC) I don't see any reason why this template should be kept. Firstly, it is unused and we never have route maps that look like this for any other bus routes. Secondly, it is quite useless as it is only saying that the route 2 goes from Marylebone to West Norwood. It already says this in the main article; London Buses route 2.

Template:London Buses route W7

 * 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 delete. Primefac (talk) 00:53, 9 July 2018 (UTC) Unused template with no foreseeable encyclopedic use. Even if this template is to be used on London Buses route W7 (which doesn't exist as a standalone article; only a redirect), it would be deleted via deletion discussion as it is a non-notable bus route. This template is very unnecessary. Pkbwcgs (talk) 10:53, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
 * London Buses route W7
 * Delete. Unused and we shouldn't have these templates for non notable bus routes. Ajf773 (talk) 10:57, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. No opposition. Primefac (talk) 00:51, 9 July 2018 (UTC) As with the now-deleted Template:Oscar Nominated Best Film Editing 90th Academy Awards, excessive templating, very few items to link.

The result of the discussion was Speedy close. Will refile a new TfD because of my mistake :-) (non-admin closure) Hhkohh (talk) 07:33, 2 July 2018 (UTC) Propose merging Template:Catfd with Template:Tfd2.
 * Tfd2

Can we use :Category in after adding some options to  instead using, thanks. Hhkohh (talk) 13:25, 22 June 2018 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Template:Infobox California legislation

 * 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 merge to Template:Infobox U.S. State legislation. No opposition. Primefac (talk) 02:43, 12 July 2018 (UTC) Propose merging Template:Infobox California legislation with Template:Infobox U.S. State legislation.
 * Infobox California legislation
 * Infobox U.S. State legislation

Procedural nomination on behalf of someone who proposed the merge wrong. They posted on the talk page the following:

Proposal: Merge California and New York legislative infoboxes into a common State legislation infobox

I see two problems with the previous merge requests:
 * 1) The proposed destination of U.S. legislation infobox was a very heavy template compared with New York legislation infobox and California legislation infobox
 * 2) The U.S. legislation infobox is clearly geared towards U.S. National Congress

Instead, I'd like to merge the California infobox and New York infobox into the more dynamic state legislation infobox. This means:
 * 1) States still display their own seal
 * 2) None of the complicated U.S. National Congress options will muck up the template
 * 3) All of the other features of each infobox can are 100% compatible and kept

The only other concern in the last merge vote was that different states can have peculiar methods. I agree, but in the time since the last vote no differences have manifested themselves in these infobox templates. --Elephanthunter (talk) 22:57, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

I am neutral in this. &thinsp;&mdash; Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)&thinsp; 17:28, 20 June 2018 (UTC) &thinsp;&mdash; Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)&thinsp; 17:28, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:WWIIBritishAFVs. No opposition.

 * WWIIBritishTanks

All were sub-templates contained entirely within the latter, the latter has now been expanded to include that content. None of these templates listed for merger are contained on content pages.

Module:IP

 * 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. Primefac (talk) 02:41, 12 July 2018 (UTC) Propose merging Module:IP with Module:IPAddress.
 * IP
 * IPAddress

I don't see why Wikipedia needs to have more than one module relating to IP addresses &#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery (talk) 20:46, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * no objection, but it seems like busywork to me. i wrote Module:IPAddress about 5 years ago, per some request in wp:vpt and as an exercise in lua. apparently, this module is used by some pretty busy templates (i think Template:IsIPAddress, which in itself is used all over the place).
 * merging it into Module:IP requires some serious testing for regressions, with no value added. in addition, Module:IPAddress was apparently copied to 8 other wikis, as can be seen by its interwiki. in short, this proposal has > 0 risk, require non-negligible amount of work, and provides, IMO, 0 value. as i said, i do not object, i just don't see the value.
 * as to the question ("why Wikipedia needs to have more than one..."): maybe wikipedia does not _need_ to have more than one module dealing with ip addresses, but i don't think this is the right question: the question is, since wikipedia already has more than one, does it "need" to merge them? peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 23:13, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment These two modules function very differently. Module:IP returns a lua error for an invalid IP, and does so in such a way that it's not straightforward to use  to trap it. Module:IPAddress, on the other hand, is very useful for identifying whether or not something is an IP address. --Ahecht ([[User_talk:Ahecht|TALK
 * I agree that Module:IP would benefit from a function that reported whether a given string was IPv4 or IPv6 or invalid, without fuss. However, a module could use  to get a result without error. I haven't thought enough about the issue to cast a vote yet, but in principle everything could be merged into one module that would do all things for all people. The simplicity of what Module:IPAddress does is worth keeping IMHO (although using global function names is not needed). Johnuniq (talk) 05:26, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * It's not that straightforward. Pcall won't trap the error unless it's wrapped in an anonymous function, so you have to use, which is a bit unweildy --Ahecht ([[User_talk:Ahecht|<span style="color:#FFF;background:#00F;display:inline-block;padding:1px 1px 0;vertical-align:-.3em;font:bold 50%/1 sans-serif;text-align:center">TALK
 * @Ahecht: I put a demo here with output at its talk. A cleaner function built into Module:IP would be nice, but the pcall I mentioned works. Johnuniq (talk) 01:51, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep Module:IP is long and complex, and is full-protected due to its primary purpose which is to handle the sensitive IP addresses. Module:IPAddress is much shorter and has a very simple aim, namely to check if given text is or is not the correct syntax for an IP address. If it ever gets expanded to something grander a merge could be considered, but until then it is cleaner to keep its simple purpose in a simple module. Johnuniq (talk) 00:12, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
