Template:Google employees

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. 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  23:29, 13 September 2023 (UTC) I have never seen a navbox of this kind, and I don't think it's appropriate. For starters, this template was created by a blocked sock, has exactly one transclusion, received 10 views in the past 365 days, and is improperly formatted. On top of that, this fails points #3, 4, and 5 of WP:NAVBOX, and I'm not sure readers will find this useful for navigation purposes. We already have Category:Google employees, which is more appropriate. InfiniteNexus (talk) 23:20, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Google employees
 * Delete. The pages aren't closely-related, except for the fact they all work or worked at Google/Alphabet. Category is better. SWinxy (talk) 19:35, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

Template:Netbible-d

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. 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  23:27, 13 September 2023 (UTC) Unused external link template. Hasn't been used at least 10 years. Gonnym (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Netbible-d
 * net.bible.org is linked a bunch on enwiki. I'm not sure if there should be normal links or a shortcut template. SWinxy (talk) 19:35, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:56, 8 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete. Terms that have to be substantiated with a definition in a bible dictionary should both 1. have a direct link to the definition and 2. properly attribute the dictionary's bibliographic information. This template does neither. Folly Mox (talk) 23:00, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

Template:NBL Finals 2024 bracket

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. 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) 18:21, 13 September 2023 (UTC) This template will not become useful until at least March 2024. See 2022 NBL Finals for an example of the dates. Templates like this should be created only as needed, not left unused and cluttering up reports for a year. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:30, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * NBL Finals 2024 bracket
 * Keep. I’m using it for the main page. I have NBL finals brackets since 2000. Should be left, but in future seasons will make finals brackets during time of play. Alextigers (talk) 05:20, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * But why create it over a year in advance? Gonnym (talk) 18:21, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Subst and delete. I believe brackets are normally filled in the article itself, not as a separate template. Template:NBL Finals 2023 bracket should also be substituted. SWinxy (talk) 19:35, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Subst per nomination. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:56, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

Template:Nations at the 1976 World Championships in Athletics

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. 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) 18:17, 13 September 2023 (UTC) Navbox with no links to articles in the body. All links go to the main page for the navbox. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:26, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Nations at the 1976 World Championships in Athletics
 * Delete no need for these separate articles, which is why almost all are just redirects to the 1976 World Championships in Athletics (other than Netherlands at the 1976 World Championships in Athletics which is currently at AFD, and likely to be redirected too).

Template:Populated by Wikidata

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. 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 move to userspace. I'll make a note that I think I agree with the interpretation by below users that in its current form, it appears not to support the consensus. That may be a question of what the template itself currently says, but I'm pretty sure it's not. (And I say this as someone who generally supports Wikidata especially for the list use case.) Izno (talk) 18:06, 13 September 2023 (UTC) No transclusions, documentation, categories, or incoming links. Created in September 2022. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:20, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Populated by Wikidata


 * Still planning to deploy this at some stage, but feel free to move it into my userspace if you prefer &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:02, 6 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Move to MSGJ's userspace. SWinxy (talk) 19:35, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Move to creator's userspace. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:56, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete as inherently a violation of Requests for comment/Wikidata Phase 2 * Pppery * it has begun... 15:08, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per Pppery. There is consensus against populating lists from Wikidata. Folly Mox (talk) 19:16, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. Izno (talk) 18:15, 13 September 2023 (UTC) No transclusions. Created in January 2023. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:47, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Military history by continent
 * Keep. Sorry, could you please clarify? what's the basis for asserting "no transclusions"? i didn't know there was a guideline pertaining to this. thanks. Sm8900 (talk) 17:46, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * It's pretty simple. If a template isn't used, it's either not wanted by the community or the creator hasn't taken the effort to place it anywhere. This TfD is a 7 day notice to the creator to let them know they should use it. If even the creator does not use it, then it's pretty clear that en.wiki does not want it. Since en.wiki is not a repository of code, it should be deleted. Gonnym (talk) 19:19, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * If you click on the "transclusions" link above, you will see that this template is not used anywhere. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:05, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
