- Template:Ararat V/Line rail service (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Swan Hill V/Line rail service (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Unused. Replaced with Template:Ballarat V/Line rail service. Gonnym (talk) 08:29, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. The Ballarat template was edited full of inaccuracies for the Ararat service, and the Swan Hill template is not replaced by the Ballarat template, Swan Hill services do not run on the Ballarat line at all! On the Bendigo article, the Swan Hill template was lazily replaced with a template for the physical Piagnil railway line, *not* representative of the Swan Hill passenger service whatsoever. I've fixed these templates back to how they always were until these random, senseless edits happened to them. Oppose, oppose, oppose. Граймс (talk) 08:31, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

- delete, I merged it with the parent article with attribution. Frietjes (talk) 15:21, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template or module's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
Only contains 1 English WP link. Pointless for a nav box to have one entry. LibStar (talk) 09:30, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Curlie (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Curlie is dead. The static pages such as "About" or "Privacy policy" still work, but any of the dynamic content, i.e. the directory itself is no longer working. Websites such as isitdownrightnow.com report it down long term.
Per WP:ELNO #16 we should avoid links to "Sites that are not reliably functional or not likely to continue being functional." That's Curlie.
Also the database has long been overtaken by spammers and ceased to be of use.
Deleting the template is preferred to removing it from multiple articles manually. 10mmsocket (talk) 07:18, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - it was rare that Curlie contents were useful anyway, it was mostly just local business spam. Canterbury Tail talk 12:47, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- In the meantime, could we please get an admin or template editor to blank the template? There's no value in sending readers to a non-existent website. Also, pinging Jmg38, who has been removing these manually. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:38, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per discussion at the template's talk page. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:42, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per Template talk:Curlie#There? Not there? Intermittent?, including: Is there value in having an external link that needs users to "hope for the best"? Is it dependent on the time of day, due to maintenance or overload of the Curlie website? If so, should there be warnings built into the template, like "use at own risk" or "if you get a '504 Gateway Time-out' message, just wait a few days and try again"?. Not logical, per WP:ELNO #16. Jmg38 (talk) 23:32, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Agree with nominee and editors above. Curlie is basically defunct.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 07:13, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

- Template:2012 World Twenty20 Stadiums (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:2012 ICC World Twenty20 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:2012 World Twenty20 Stadiums with Template:2012 ICC World Twenty20.
Just 3 links; should be merged with the main navbox Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 04:47, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Merge doesn't need a separate template, and adding 3 links for venues to the main template seems fine to me. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:36, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

I am not even sure what process this could be for on Wikipedia. The only place on Wikipedia we do straight-up votes is at WP:ARBCOM, and speaking as a (trainee) clerk I had never even heard of this template. Delete them. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:08, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Addendum: I figured out it was for the obsolete Wikipedia talk:Motto of the day/Nominations. Still should delete them all, given the process is obsolete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
Only has 2 English WP entries, 1 of which is up for deletion. Pointless having a nav box for 1-2 entries. LibStar (talk) 00:02, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
