Template:Octopus World's Greatest Series

 * 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  23:49, 1 February 2024 (UTC) This 13 year old template is a box of red links and looks like it is completely unused. I came across it on a deleted page which looks like the last time it was added to an article. Given the kind of books that are listed ("World's Greatest!") I doubt these articles will be written and if they existed, they might have been deleted. Liz Read! Talk! 18:05, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Template:Rugby Union Team

 * 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  13:16, 1 February 2024 (UTC) Single-use template which is (as far as I can tell) a rather unconventional way of displaying a squad - usually it's just a table or (in the case of some match games) an .svg (example) showing the same. Also could cause some potential confusion with the same-named Rugby union team. Primefac (talk) 12:22, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Rugby Union Team
 * Delete and use a standard roster template instead. Comment: At a minimum, let's move this to a better name, possibly parallel to Football squad on pitch. I seem to recall another football template similar to this one, but I can't put my finger on it right now. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:59, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Template:Country data Tunganistan

 * 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  13:15, 1 February 2024 (UTC) Country data templates are used to display polities with their flags. Tunganistan was not a polity in any form; the name is an exonym that Westerners gave an area occupied by Chinese Nationalist soldiers in the 1930s. The older revisions of the article which claim Tunganistan was an "independent state" are a hoax and contradict the sources the previous editors themselves provided. The flags used in the template are also unsourced. The only source ever provided anywhere across WikiProjects is this page from Ethnia, a self-published blog that cites zero sources. I provided more detail and sources at Talk:Tunganistan. As there was no polity named "Tunganistan" and the flags are likely fictious, this template should be deleted as it serves no legitimate purpose. I.e. its very existence is based on a hoax.
