Template:Tlsd

 * 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 soft delete. Reasonable argument, no opposition. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the template's undeletion. Primefac (talk) 17:25, 20 September 2020 (UTC) With the deprecation of "tt" tags, now redundant with Template:Tlsc. Only a few transclusions, so it could be fully replaced and then deleted, unless there is a strong preference for redirecting. Bsherr (talk) 22:24, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep The template contains six wikilinks, meaning it does serve to aid navigation and is not at all "redundant" or "not needed". Mattythewhite (talk) 22:07, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Non-English user warning templates not in "contrib" series

 * 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) 16:46, 20 September 2020 (UTC) Unlike the "contrib" series of bilingual user warning templates or the bilingual welcome templates in Category:Non-English user warning templates, these templates do not specifically relate to non-English or poor English contributions. A user competent enough to navigate the English language interface should be competent to understand our English-language user warnings, or have the tools to translate them, such that we don't have to contravene WP:ENGLISHPLEASE ourselves when responding.

The result of the discussion was delete. Primefac (talk) 16:14, 20 September 2020 (UTC) It doesn't really add anything. The only three links are already in the article Big Three (tennis), and that link can be added to the See also sections of the three players. There are also lots of other Big Threes. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:12, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Big Three
 * Keep or listify This is a useful navigational tool for this period of tennis. I think it should either be kept as a navbox or, if there is consensus it is unsuitable for template space, moved to a list that is linked in the main article.--Tom (LT) (talk) 07:54, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Note that the link to Big Three (tennis) already exists in each player's navbox, so it wouldn't be necessary to add to the "see also" sections. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 09:13, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. This set is an invention of sports commentary. The subject article, and the existing textual links between the constituents, are sufficient for navigation. --Bsherr (talk) 15:44, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Template:Arab Capital of Culture
<div class="boilerplate tfd vfd tfd-closed" style="background-color: #e3f9df; padding: 0 10px 0 10px; border: 1px solid #AAAAAA;">
 * 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) 16:10, 20 September 2020 (UTC) Only 4 of the links are directly pertinent to the program. The remaining are miscellaneous cities that have been nominated/included as a 'capital'. The majority of uses are accordingly on the city articles.
 * Arab Capital of Culture

I can also see reducing this down to just the years articles and accordingly removing from the cities articles (per WP:BIDIRECTIONAL). Izno (talk) 01:22, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm confused, what's the extraneous information in this template? There's only one entry per year, right? And, if Arab Capital of Culture is accurate at all, those are each of the "capitals of culture"? Do you mean that it shouldn't include the associated countries, or? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 16:47, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Here the cities are extraneous; kind of my direction is that this template is not defining for those cities, so why are they being included? Once you get rid of the cities, you're hanging out at 4 links of interest. --Izno (talk) 05:29, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a useful tool and probably notable enough to use to link the articles. The actual formatting of the template could be improved but that's not enough reason to delete. I think this is useful for readers.--Tom (LT) (talk) 07:54, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, but reduce to years only and remove transclusions from cities. I agree, Izno. I checked to see if any of the cities articles contained sections on the topic, as a section link might also be appropriate, but none do; indeed, none except Constantine, Algeria even mention this distinction. So, notable: yes, probably. Defining: apparently not. Useful for navigation: not for the cities articles, to say nothing of the countries. --Bsherr (talk) 04:43, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
