 * Delete all per nom. These banners are really not a big feat (or really a feat) that should be plastered on talk pages. As it stands, I can create a portal about anything and select any article which would have just as much merit as these. Gonnym (talk) 11:40, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Being featured on Portal:London isn't the big deal it seemed to be in 2006. (Ah, happy days...) Now these are just clutter on talk pages. Ham II (talk) 18:18, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment (as the template creator) - wouldn't delete them mess up with archives and pages where it's been used? (this is just a recent example, I wonder if the archives would be unreadable afterwards.) --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 12:00, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
 * The templates nominated are not used on any pages, including the one you linked. The parent template VE Bug2 isn’t nominated for deletion, only the subtemplates. User:GKFXtalk 17:58, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
 * To be honest, if Template:VE Bug should no longer be used, then those 4 usages should be subst and then the template deleted. Gonnym (talk) 11:28, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. Primefac (talk) 21:27, 30 January 2022 (UTC) I'm sure there's a reasonable replacement for this template used only a half dozen times using standard style. Izno (talk) 18:25, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * SharedProxyIP
 * Comment: I think this may be used as a subst-only template. I find hundreds of instances of text that is similar to the text in this template, but no other template that seems to match it. The history says that it was created as a fork of Shared IP, which now uses different language. It may be possible to merge this template's wording into Shared IP. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:37, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, proxies are blocked when we see them, so I think that's probably the interesting template, but either way, pretty sure these kinds of templates are not substed anymore. Izno (talk) 21:25, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete, although it appears as though this has been substituted in the past (User talk:162.93.199.1) I couldn't find any places where it was recently substituted. Adding a y option to Shared IP should be sufficient if an alternate version is needed. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk)  15:49, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment I see that the template is unused because you've WP:BOLDLY deleted all the articles, turning them into redirects. Might be worth waiting a little while to see if anyone makes a fuss. Nigej (talk) 18:38, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * this is because the barangays (administrative villages) of this Philippine town lack notability. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 09:56, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

I recently created a generic ACE discussion template to support ACE discussions, but would like to go through the TFD process as the calling locations would probably need to be replaced/change. And separately, the new template could probably use auto-detection of the year (but I still haven't figured out string.gsub). Izno (talk) 06:03, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: It would probably help if you showed ACE discussion in use somewhere so that we can get a sense of how this transition might work. The new template currently has zero transclusions, so it's hard to know if it is a valid replacement. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:31, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It will probably need a little evolution, but this was what was needed. As I said, it could use year auto-detection, but for modern versions of all these ACE discussion templates, it should be close to drop in. Izno (talk) 06:33, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * That looks reasonable; for some reason when I tried it, it looked different and I couldn't make it work. Support merge. Let's snow close this thing and move on. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:27, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I couldn't make it work by having the intermediary template, but as you can see had no issue with direct transclusion. I'm sure there's a way to do that, but I didn't want to deal with it. :) Izno (talk) 17:49, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Strongly support. As a template editor, and as someone who had to deal with this mess of templates as a member of the ElectCom for ACE a few years back, there is zero reason to have a new template for every year - simply having the year be a parameter is more than good enough. When I was on ElectCom that was one of my goals after the election finished but sadly I got distracted by other things and it never happened. Primefac (talk) 09:14, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. I've added the automatic year detection you wanted by using . So if all the titles this is used on use a 4 digit year number in their title, it will find them. Gonnym (talk) 10:35, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Speedy sure Think it is safe to say that the only people that are going to care about the mechanics of this template aren't going to care about getting it improved, and the transclusion count on these very low. —  xaosflux  Talk 11:39, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
