Template:Unpublished interview with Douglas D. Love, April 30, 2011 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Only used in one article, to which it specifically relates. Subst and delete. DH85868993 (talk) 11:20, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and don't subst. The text is "I was interviewed as a source for this article on April 30, 2011. I was a judge at the Ancient Mariner Regatta when Stephan Geiger, rather than sitting in the breeches buoy chair, crouched on it, thereby "surfing the chair" and got the team for the SSS Intrepid disqualified from the event. Douglas D. Love, May 31, 2012", which is being used as a reference in an article. You can't use personal experience or "unpublished interview" as a source, ever.

Delete TPH is quite right. And as Wikipedia isn't a reliable source, posting this titbit here doesn't qualify it as fit for use as a WP:RS. Peridon (talk) 13:59, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Templates are created to enable the same thing to appear in multiple places, and there's no way that such a chunk of text could belong in multiple articles, even if it were appropriate for this one. Nyttend (talk) 14:36, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Dynastie (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant in function to {{Succession box}}. Is only used at Talk:Johannes Gerhardus Strijdom, where it is included as part of "the wikitext of Johannes Strijdom before that article was redirected to Johannes Gerhardus Strijdom" (in 2006). I suggest deleting this template rather than redirecting to {{Succession box}} (a) due to the incompatibility of the template parameters and (b) due to the non-Englishness of the template name. DH85868993 (talk) 11:15, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Newuservote (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Part of the 2008 ArbCom election voting system. No transclusions. The only reference (apart from "uncategorised/unused template" lists) is from Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2008/Archive_3#Voting_pages, Templates, and You. The other two templates referenced in the same paragraph ({{indentvote}} and {{anonvote}}) have both been deleted. DH85868993 (talk) 07:48, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Given that we no longer use the open voting format of elections, and given that the other open voting processes we use don't require suffrage, we can safely delete this. Would have been nice to get a notice about the other two, though - but the same argument applies. No Objection. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 14:41, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Timorense Liga Pre seasons (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Individual season articles do not exist, so template provides no navigational value. DH85868993 (talk) 04:16, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Linkdirect (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. Lets you type {{linkdirect|A|B|C}} instead of [[A#B|C]]. Not especially useful in my opinion. DH85868993 (talk) 04:08, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I see no utility in having such a template. Even stranger, it doesn't even save any keystrokes (which isn't a sufficient reason for it even if it did). -- Whpq (talk) 15:46, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Only one transclusion, doesn't navigate anything. WP:NENAN. Jenks24 (talk) 01:13, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
