Unused. Replaced with Template:Ballarat V/Line rail service. Gonnym (talk) 08:29, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • 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)[reply]

Only contains 1 English WP link. Pointless for a nav box to have one entry. LibStar (talk) 09:30, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
