(non-admin closure)  Zack mann  (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:08, 22 February 2019 (UTC) Template documentation says it should be used by Infobox Russian federal subject, Infobox Russian district and Infobox Russian inhabited locality but these don't use it. It is not used by any other template or page. Gonnym (talk) 22:04, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. (non-admin closure) Hhkohh (talk) 12:57, 27 February 2019 (UTC) Horrendous way to maintain population data across multiple pages. This used to be used by Template:Infobox Vienna District which has been deleted via this TFD. As part of that conversion process, the use of this template was removed.

 * Metadata population AT-9
 * Delete per nom. Woah. Too complicated and prone to error, glad this isn't widely used.--Tom (LT) (talk) 23:55, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
 * What about the rest of these data pages under Special:PrefixIndex/Template:Metadata population and Special:PrefixIndex/Template:Metadata Population. &#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery (talk) 00:04, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
 * that is a really great point. At the moment, those templates are still used by Infobox Town AT which I just nominated for a separate TFD. This particular nomination is too far along to tack on the other ones, but I 100% support nuking the others as well. -- Zack mann  (Talk to me/What I been doing) 07:01, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment as noted, it seems unsatisfactory to treat this in isolation, unless we're trying to set a precedent. Nigej (talk) 08:16, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Subst and delete all Needlessly complicated, just store the number directly in the articles. &#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery (talk) 01:53, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Template:Quarterbacks coaches of the Big 12 Conference

 * 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. (non-admin closure)  Zack mann  (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:07, 22 February 2019 (UTC) Fails WP:Navbox guidelines 2, The subject of the template should be mentioned in every article, for instance nobody cares that Lincoln Riley also is the OU QB Coach 4, There should be a Wikipedia article on the subject of the template as there will likely never be a list of Big XII football coaches and and 5, If not for the navigation template, an editor would be inclined to link many of these articles in the See also sections of the articles. Furthermore, a person does not meet GNG for being a QB coach at an NCAA school therefore, it is also not a defining aspect of the members of the navbox.

 * Delete' per nom. Also fails WP:NAVBOX No. 4 (There should be a Wikipedia article on the subject of the template) thus making it feel like WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:FANCRUFT.—Bagumba (talk) 08:53, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. (non-admin closure)  Zack mann  (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:16, 22 February 2019 (UTC) Given that Wikipedia talk:Lua used primarily to discuss general programming issues with Lua rather than the page Lua itself, the editnotice serves no useful purpose. &#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery (talk) 23:04, 28 January 2019 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Template:Uw5

 * 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. (non-admin closure)  Zack mann  (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:07, 22 February 2019 (UTC) This template intends to be a level-5 warning template for users who have vandalized past a level-4 warning, informing the vandal that they have been reported to administrators. I claim that this template is unnecessary. In such an event, the block message (like uw-block) that the administrator would eventually leave (if the report was properly submitted) serves as the "level 5". Repeatedly sending warnings may actually be counterproductive for chronic or extremely persistent vandals: see WP:DENY and WP:RBI. Mz7 (talk) 10:57, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Uw5
 * Delete per DENY as in nomination. Telling a vandal-only-account "You have been reported to the administrators" will just confirm their opinion that Wikipedia deserves vandalism. Johnuniq (talk) 07:12, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
