The result of the discussion was delete. Izno (talk) 12:34, 6 September 2021 (UTC) Substitute all these templates on the two articles it's used on. Used only on two articles. These templates are not going to be used much outside the two articles and the results shouldn't be on their own template space when they can be already included as part of the related articles. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 21:07, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. Izno (talk) 12:34, 6 September 2021 (UTC) All should be substituted where used. Majority single-use with the exception of 1990, 1999, and 2004. Section transclusion may not be necessary but it can be. 1967 to 1985 don't have the necessary article space to be used on and should be kept on the Elections in Sabah article. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 20:04, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. ✗ plicit  00:11, 5 September 2021 (UTC) Unused. Baseball-reference.com has an open wiki, nearly identical to WP, called BR Bullpen. Articles should not be sourced or have an EL to an open wiki. Rgrds. --Bison X (talk) 19:29, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Template:Ended Turkish television series

 * 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. ✗ plicit  00:50, 5 September 2021 (UTC) Ridiculously large nav-box containing over 770 links, 640 of which lead to articles on the Turkish language encyclopedia. If we were to remove the cross project links this template would be 80% red links. I don't think "tv series which have been cancelled" is a natural way of browsing TV shows - it's far too wide of a classification resulting in a template that is too large to navigate and which includes tv shows that wouldn't naturally be read together. I think it would be better to include a link to List of Turkish Tv Series in Template:Television in Turkey rather than trying to turn the list into an unusable navbox. 192.76.8.74 (talk) 14:57, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Ended Turkish television series
 * Delete Too large and too unnecessary. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 16:04, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete The closest I've seen to a scam within Wikipedia. Too broad to be useful, even when all the trwiki links are removed. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 03:23, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

Template:Spoken Wikipedia boilerplate

 * 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. Izno (talk) 12:35, 6 September 2021 (UTC) Template Spoken Wikipedia has been migrated to use Lua Module:Spoken Wikipedia in November 2020. The module hasn't been edited since February 2021, it is covered pretty well by testcases.
 * Spoken Wikipedia boilerplate

Template Spoken Wikipedia boilerplate is now unused (only three transclusions in user sandboxes) and it is unlikely to be used again. —⁠andrybak (talk) 10:03, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

 * 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. Note, and, in general it is not appropriate to substitute templates before TFD. Izno (talk) 12:37, 6 September 2021 (UTC) Isn't used now as it was substituted HawkAussie (talk) 08:53, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * 2020 Summer Olympics women's rugby sevens game B1
 * 2020 Summer Olympics women's rugby sevens game B4
 * 2020 Summer Olympics women's rugby sevens game B5
 * Delete All three now unused and redundant. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 13:43, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Having substituted a template so now it is unused is not a reason to delete. If the template shows information to be displayed on many pages, that is preferable than to hardcode it on every page. --SuperJew (talk) 18:45, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * If a template is unused, then it is a reason to delete. Has been for many unused templates. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:13, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * If I go now onto all of the Real Madrid players' pages and subst the template Real Madrid CF squad so that it's hardcoded, should I then bring that template to TfD as it is unused? --SuperJew (talk) 20:02, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * That's a navbox. It's being used and it's for a team that currently exists. These templates don't have the same navigational purpose. Navboxes don't need to be hardcoded. Please stop shooting yourself in the foot. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 20:04, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I was just using the same logic as you are using. How is it different? In this case the template is used to update information in one place when it is used on several pages, and in that case the template is used to update information in one place when it is used on several pages. Please noiminate TfDs on merits of arguments about the template and not about it's usage or lack thereof. --SuperJew (talk) 20:20, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * These templates that are nominated are not navboxes. These are article forks. I and the nominator know how Tfd's work. If a template is not used or has single-use it qualifies for deletion. Try expanding your Tfd's votes beyond the sports realm. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 20:35, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * You're just using titles and not making actual arguments. If a template is not used or has single-use it qualifies for deletion. - so as said above, based on this logic, I could theoretically remove all uses of the Real Madrid CF squad template and then it would qualify for deletion. And no thanks, I will probably stay within the sports realm as that is the realm I edit and am interested in on Wikipedia. --SuperJew (talk) 05:08, 30 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete. If 2020 Summer Olympics women's rugby sevens game B1 was updated with the result then it appears to have three possible uses:
 * Rugby sevens at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament
 * Canada at the 2020 Summer Olympics
 * Brazil at the 2020 Summer Olympics
 * The latter two currently transclude the match from the first with  which produces:


 * That gives no code duplication and seems a sensible arrangement instead of a small template for every match. There were 34 matches and this was just one event at one Olympics. PrimeHunter (talk) 03:18, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
