Template:Infobox cigarette brand

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.)

• Delete, definitely, there is nothing to merge; creating a sandbox version didn't take me a minute. See test cases.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 14:44, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Template:TAPPS 1A

Template:TAPPS 1A (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

fails WP:NENAN. Less than 5 relevant links. The Banner talk 15:37, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

• Withdrawn as nominator. Links added to get a useful template. The Banner talk 20:22, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Nomination reinstated as article still lacks sufficient relevant links (links to a pope, India and the United Kingdom are not relevant for a template about Texas) The Banner talk 12:17, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Template:Granatkin Memorial

Template:Granatkin Memorial (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template for a non-notable youth tournament that should be deleted. It's not necessary to have year-by-year articles, when a section can be added to the parent article. JMHamo (talk) 19:40, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. GiantSnowman 19:58, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

• Delete - the notability of the tournament has been (rightly) questioned, and given the number of non-notable/redlink entires it does not seem to justify a template. GiantSnowman 20:01, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
• Strong keep. Navigation between a group of related articles per WP:NAVBOX. If you think they are non-notable, use AfD first. NickSt (talk) 09:39, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
• Delete - per WP:NENAN, five links, a lot of red links and four of the linked articles already at AfD. Fenix down (talk) 14:19, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Template:Linux layers

Template:Linux layers (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

serious abuse of table markup for presentation. The similar SVG image is already on use in one of the two transclusions and could be applied to the other one as well. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 15:15, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

• strong keep The table form with clickable links to existing articles and the fact that it is a template, are both highly useful to convey information.

As stated in the page history, originally I copied de:Vorlage:Linux Schichten, added links and changed the background-colors.

I agree that my choice of colors is wayward. For a better color choice of colors, see e.g. this template: Template:Intel processor roadmap, it used an SVG-file, not a colored wikitable-table. Also, some stuff could be changed. I know now more than I knew at the time I copied the template from the german WP. Any other takers to do this, I am a bit busy ATM?

• Keep: As discussed in a thread on the template's talk page, deleting the template would be acceptable only if it's impossible for us to get its code appropriately refactored. With the latest few edits on a test version and their merge into the template (what included Thumperward's original improvements), I'd say this template is good to stay with us. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 19:42, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
• delete template is used just two times, what means that there is no progress in use since the last nomination which ended in a "no consensus"-verdict by Plastikspork (Misplaced Pages:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2013_November_6#Template:Linux_layers. Info can be moved by copy and paste. No need for a template. The Banner talk 01:57, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Isn't the purpose of templates to deduplicate code and avoid copy&paste? — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 02:06, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
    • Templates are for use in many templates, not one or two as in this case (usually five is the threshold) The Banner talk 02:24, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
      • That makes no sense whatsoever, and I see no such restrictions in Help:Template. Could you, please, provide a pointer to the manual section backing your claim? — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 02:31, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
        • When you don't know how to use templates, I suggest that you start reading here: Help:Template and Help:A quick guide to templates The Banner talk 11:18, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
          • I think that's a reference to your "Templates are for use in many templates". Presumably, you meant "Templates are for use in many articles". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:42, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
  • While we generally prefer not to have templates for things that aren't widely transcluded, we've precedent for templates used on only a single article. My itself this is not a strong argument for deletion. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 13:07, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
• Comment If not deleted, this will needs major changes to met our accessibility requirements. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:28, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Template:List of United States cable and satellite television networks (defunct)

Template:List of United States cable and satellite television networks (defunct) (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Long list only used in one article. Info can be added to that article and this template removed. The Banner talk 11:38, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

• Delete Indeed, added into that article; contrib was from now-banned editor who loved to mess around with templates and over-templated everything and this seemed to be a lingering string among them. Should've never been a template in the first place. Nate • (chatter) 04:17, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
• Delete as unused —PC-XT+ 07:56, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Template:Tribes of Serbia

Template:Tribes of Serbia (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The scope is too narrow, and its theme is not used elsewhere in template space. There exists a category (Category:Ancient tribes in Serbia), as well as a list (at Prehistoric sites in Serbia#Ancient tribes, which could, upon expanding, become a standalone list). Category:Ancient tribes in Serbia has been added to all entries.

This was nominated by User:Zoupan in Special:Diff/594480212 —PC-XT+ 07:42, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

• Keep serves useful navigational purpose. Categories and lists don't offer the same accessibility so I disagree with the nominators argument. —Brian Halvorsen (talk) 05:23, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
