Redundant & unused conversion templates edit

Category:Conversion templates is cluttered up with several templates which are redundant to {{convert}}. I proposed one of them, {{Km/h to mph}}, for deletion yesterday. Looking through the category today I notice many more unused x to y templates. I propose to delete them all (along with their subpages, talk pages and redirects). Below is a list of templates, none of which have mainspace transclusions & all of which are redundant to {{convert}}. I hope to clear these from the category to make it easier for editors to make sense of what's going on.JIMp_talk·cont 17:13, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, go for it. Better to clear these out and have people use {{convert}} exclusively than having a hodgepodge of different ways to do the same thing. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 13:02, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Should be flushed from existence along with {{Auto L}}, {{Auto CID}} and {{Auto in}}. --Biker Biker (talk) 16:57, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
delete after replacement. Frietjes (talk) 22:15, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: These above need no replacement. They've either already been replaced or never were used in the first place (note that I'm concerned only with mainspace transclusions, some are used on user pages, let the user deal with these, some appear on talk pages, this is no matter either). There are at least as many templates again in the aforementioned category which are still in use but redundant to convert. These want replacing (then deleting). In fact these templates are pretty much covered by WP:T3 so bringing them here is a bit of an overkill. Note that some of those auto templates have redirects which should go along with them. By the way I've replaced all the mainspace transclusions of {{Auto L}} so this can go also. JIMp_talk·cont 23:28, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The latter appears to be derived from the former, so it's the latter that would be deleted in any case, but the best thing to do would be to history-merge the two under the new title. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 13:05, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
