The result of the discussion was delete. ✗ plicit  01:39, 22 June 2023 (UTC) Maybe useful in some world, but it was used only in a single article (that has evidence of WP:COI to boot) as an empty infobox (now removed) after being blanked a few years ago. It's also clearly not kept up to date. Izno (talk) 22:02, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Community trademark
 * Comment According to Community Trade Mark (CTM) the thing was renamed to European Union trade mark (EUTM) -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 04:59, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment the updated URL appears to be https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#basic/1+1+1+1/100+100+100+100/ when I experimented with the sample ID from the /doc page "000428250" -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 05:03, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment other existing templates US trademark and UK trademark -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 05:02, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Here we go with the speculative reinstatement of things that are clearly dead and should be left to die. Linking to the exact trademark registry that a company or product has is a hallmark of excessive detail or promotion, as all of the current uses are. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:44, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * If they are excessive, then the EU one should not be singled out for deletion. The UK one and US one should be bundled in. If the US and UK ones are considered proper, then the broken EU one should be fixed and deployed, rather than singling out the European Union for some odd reason. The EU is not some minor trademark authority. -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 22:44, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Pppery here. A listing of trademarks is not of sufficient interest to have a template IMO, and I'd welcome a TFD for the other two templates on that question. Izno (talk) 22:35, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Template:Soviet artillery
<div class="boilerplate tfd vfd tfd-closed mw-archivedtalk" 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(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 keep. Izno (talk) 18:34, 26 June 2023 (UTC) Essentially duplicates the purpose of Template:Soviet and Russian artillery after WW2. No merge necessary. The template is also incomplete. RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 00:30, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Soviet artillery


 * Oppose: the other should be split to improve this one. Russia is not the Soviet Union, and the weapons they originated are two different lists, while a third is weapons domestically built in Soviet successor Ukraine, including 2S22 Bohdana, R-360 Neptune, Vilkha, and Hrim-2. —Michael Z. 16:03, 7 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Comment I'd say either split or merge into one template. There's no need for two templates to exist for the topic of artillery for both Russian and the SU. Either have one for the Soviet Union and one for Russia or combine the two into one singular for consistency. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:26, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * If we combine them, then do we roll Ukrainian artillery into there too? And perhaps Georgia, since it has the RS-122. Separate might be better. —Michael Z. 17:57, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Azerbaijan has some mortars and Belarus has a couple of versions of an MRL. —Michael Z. 18:08, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * If the origins of the artillery are from the Soviet Union, then it should be in the Soviet artillery navbox. But Russian artillery should be a different navbox and since Russia does still use SU artillery, all entries related to the SU should be tagged with asterisks or with italics, something to differentiate the listings. Same for countries that were once part of the union. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 20:06, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I think there's a fair chance that a Soviet/post-Soviet artillery navbox is the best way to minimize duplication (and don't repeat yourself is generally good template coding practice or just in general). But here we're just discussing one template and a duplicate. Once this closes then we can start a new discussion to look at a grand merge and page move. 74.73.224.126 (talk) 22:20, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * This template is not a duplicate. It was created back in 2006. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:26, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Age isn't really all that relevant when examining material for duplication. There have been mainspace copy paste duplicates that existed side by for years. Anyway I haven't meant to imply that's what happened here, just that it is redundant material which I don't believe is controversial. If you prefer I could say that it's been superseded instead, which is a slightly more expansive term that encapsulates some of the same ideas. In mainspace we'd handle this differently and might even be looking to see if a complex histmerge were needed, but this is templatespace. 74.73.224.126 (talk) 22:48, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Izno (talk) 03:03, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete as duplicative per nom. Any two templates are going to have a very large overlap which is best avoided so a split makes little sense here, and as the nom explains, no merge is necessary. 74.73.224.126 (talk) 04:21, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep delete the combined Russia/Soviet template. Russia should have a separate template, not a combined one. -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 05:06, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
