 * In other words, you want to delete the template because WP:IJUSTDONTLIKEIT as opposed to a reason based on some fairhanded principle. -- DanielPenfield (talk) 21:36, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Template:Infobox MLB umpire

 * 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 baseball biography. Primefac (talk) 00:43, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Infobox MLB umpire - 93 transclusions
 * Infobox baseball biography - 23604 transclusions

Propose merging Template:Infobox MLB umpire with Template:Infobox baseball biography.

This would involve adding five parameters to the 'biography template:

crew2

crew3

crew4

crewchief

Umpirecrew

-- Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:38, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Support merge but oppose adding adding the "crew#" and "crewchief" parameters as we don't list a baseball player's teammates in their infobox (should also probably change "Umpirecrew" to "umpire_crew"). Additionally, these fields don't even cover more than one crew rooster as Umpire (baseball) states that umpires change crews. If Umpirecrew is kept, it should probably be changed to "Crew # (year)" to add context to it. Also, just to point out - Al Barlick already uses Infobox baseball biography while Al Clark (umpire) uses Infobox person - both work without those parameters. --Gonnym (talk) 19:34, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Support. It seems likely that many umpires come from college or pro backgrounds anyway. —МандичкаYO 😜 23:04, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete after replacing with Singles Primefac (talk) 00:28, 23 November 2018 (UTC) Only used in seven pages; redundant to Singles. It doesn't seem to be appropriate to have a separate template for digital singles; most singles nowadays are only released digitally anyway. Jc86035 (talk) 13:53, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Infobox coffee producer

Single use - can be replaced with a simple table in the article body. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:48, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Category:Coffee production by country shows many eligible articles for its use. Substitution is a poor choice for an infobox, as infoboxes are intended for use across multiple articles to provide brief information in standardized form. --Bsherr (talk) 16:21, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * The template was created over five and a half years ago and seems never to have been used in any other article. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:46, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * It could be possible to generalize the template for country-specific agricultural production articles, such as Corn production in the United States, Sugar production in Uganda, Wheat production in the United States, Rice production in Thailand, etc.; I don't think keeping it as a coffee-specific template is very useful though.-<b style="background:#00ffff">Ich</b> (talk) 09:30, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was keep. Primefac (talk) 00:15, 23 November 2018 (UTC) unused; probably because most (if not all) the links are in Template:Twin Cities shopping malls Frietjes (talk) 21:52, 30 October 2018 (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.
 * Minnesota Shopping Malls
 *  delete  per above Hhkohh (talk) 11:36, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The listed malls in St. Cloud, Rochester, Duluth (Miller Hill Mall), and Mankato are not in the Twin Cities, and there are others (apparently without articles) in Duluth (Stoneridge Shoppping Center), Medford and Moorhead.  I question the utility of these templates, but if we are keeping the one for Twin Cities shopping centers, there is no reason to delete one which also covers malls elsewhere in the state.
