 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template(s) or module(s) 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 inline with Gonnym's comment. Izno (talk) 12:42, 6 September 2021 (UTC) All should be substituted where used. There is no need for these election results to be on a separate template when they can be already included as a table on the respective articles. Especially when an electoral constituency or district is concerned. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:01, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Subst and delete. Subst to electorate articles and remove completely from individual election history articles or sections. There is no reason to transclude complete tables for a single relevant line. Instead, a table should be created for that candidate's result history, just like other non-politician results table work (sports, actors, etc). Gonnym (talk) 10:15, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. ✗ plicit  06:42, 1 September 2021 (UTC) No disclaimers. Mz7 (talk) 06:07, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Inappropriate


 * Delete Given the fact that we don't use disclaimers in articles this template is... inappropriate. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 07:15, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Snow delete Per policy. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:36, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt. Because this should not have ever existed, and an example must be made to the troll who created this. oknazevad (talk) 22:48, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per WP:NOTCENSORED. This template has no purpose on Wikipedia. - Aoidh (talk) 01:41, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete This template really is inappropriate.  Clog Wolf  Howl 08:40, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Template:Persian Constitutional Revolution

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template(s) or module(s) 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:People involved in the Persian Constitutional Revolution. Izno (talk) 12:45, 6 September 2021 (UTC) only used on one page and appears to be generally redundant to navigation found in People involved in the Persian Constitutional Revolution Frietjes (talk) 16:08, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Persian Constitutional Revolution
 * Keep: This template is a wikilink summary of event Persian Constitutional Revolution and can be used more on the pages related to this event, it is different from People involved in the Persian Constitutional Revolution, it is horizontal and that one is not only vertical but for People involved in the Persian Constitutional Revolution. Persian Constitutional Revolution also includes links to related events and books, ministers and related groups and parties. In general it is useful, it is better to keep. Championmin (talk) 08:42, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. The template is hiding content which it shouldn't (per MOS:DONTHIDE), but if it does not, it just becomes this huge template, which on some pages is longer then the actual content. Additionally, the nested navboxes inside of it make the text even smaller, which it also shouldn't (per MOS:TEXTSIZE). Add any missing and needed (blue) links to Template:People involved in the Persian Constitutional Revolution and if needed rename it to better reflect the scope. Gonnym (talk) 11:56, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Don't think the sidebar fulfills its intended purpose. I'd say merge the content in this sidebar into the navbox template. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 16:24, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  03:18, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. ✗ plicit  06:41, 1 September 2021 (UTC) Per WP:CRUFT. Unnecessary banner-hanging template whose content is better served by either adding those honors into the players' infoboxes, and/or in the prose. College sports wikiprojects did away with retired number templates long ago. SportsGuy789 (talk) 00:57, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. ✗ plicit  06:55, 1 September 2021 (UTC) Unused fork templates. We don't use infobox templates like these for U.S. presidential elections. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:47, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

 * 2008 Republican Party presidential primaries
 * 2012 Republican Party presidential primaries

 * 2020 Republican Party presidential primaries
 * Keep per Template:2012 Republican Party presidential primaries, Template:2016 Republican Party presidential primaries, Template:2020 Republican Party presidential primaries, and Template:2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries. This discussion states that these templates like the 2012 and 2020 results can be used for multiple articles. I highly doubt that there is some form of indication that we cannot use infobox templates for presidential election articles. --Wow (talk) 00:50, 25 August 2021 (UTC); edited 01:31, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * That's not a reason to keep per the templates, one of which you created, the other created by someone who is now blocked indefinitely. I've removed them because we use infoboxes, not separate templates. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:10, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * The templates that were used have been removed per the fact we don't use templates for U.S. election articles rather infoboxes. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:22, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * That seems rather circular logic. We were using such templates for some articles until you just removed them. --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:41, 25 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete Unused and unnecessary. These are simply infoboxes that would usually be used on a single article. Number   5  7  08:24, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - Why only those templates? We've got American party presidential primaries using such templates, all the way back to 1912. GoodDay (talk) 15:50, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * GoodDay, these are infobox forks being used as templates. I'm not sure what templates you are referring to. Can you give a link? --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 16:02, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Perhaps I'm being confused here, by the infoboxes used in all the primaries articles. GoodDay (talk) 16:04, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, these templates are using the infobox format, which we don't use as separate templates on U.S. Presidential articles or party primary election articles. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 16:47, 28 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete - as we already have infoboxes of these very exact contents. GoodDay (talk) 19:10, 28 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete per above. They are all unused and articles like 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries use a different infobox. Gonnym (talk) 18:35, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
