Template:Infobox cigarette brand

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template 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). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was delete Plastikspork ―Œ 14:52, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Template:Infobox cigarette brand (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Only 31 transclusions. Redundant to {{Infobox brand}} (Transclusion count: 438). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:38, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Question: Is hProduct better than the microformat that Infobox brand currently uses (hCard, apparently?) If both should use the same microformat, I'll say merge. (Also, I'm unsure which parameter would replace |produced by=, though I probably just overlooked something obvious.) —PC-XT+ 06:37, 26 February 2014 (UTC) 07:03, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
According to Microformat, hProduct is not yet ratified. That doesn't necessarily mean it is unused, but hCard is certainly a stronger format. Would it work to encapsulate the information in both formats, or would it be better to just use hCard for now? —PC-XT+ 07:34, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
hCard is for "people, places and organisations", not brands. {{Infobox brand}} wasn't using it validly, anyway. I've converted it to use hProduct. (Aside: {{Infobox brand}} is being used for some food products; they should use {{Infobox prepared food}} instead.)
