Template:IMG-NJGov (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

No source given for any of the statements in the template, so there is no way to verify that the information is correct. Although it says that "anyone may view, copy or distribute" the material, it doesn't say that anyone may modify the material. Stefan2 (talk) 22:08, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: It's not useful as a license tag (New Jersey public-records laws only permit verbatim copying, so it's not a free content license, and we've already got plenty of tags for non-free content), and it has the potential to mislead users. --Carnildo (talk) 01:02, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The templates seem to be an arbitrary aggregation of content best suited to categorical presentation. I don't understand why a template is necessary for this subject.TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:46, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I recently nominated these, but closing admin inexplicably called "no consensus", which I brought up on their talk page. I meant to take this further, but went on holiday and forgot about it. Anyway, strong delete all per previous nomination. --Rob Sinden (talk) 16:12, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
#Rob Sinden I'd agree that categorizing by decades isn't very useful, but these templates organize additional characteristics that aren't already categorized. The category at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_television_miniseries categorizes miniseries that were produced for American television. The category at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Television_programs_based_on_works categorizes programs (not limited to miniseries nor to American television) that were adaptations. Both categories intersect in these templates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rootsmusic (talk • contribs) 00:44, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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

Not used. "This template creates a table of video game genres". Seems like a work-in-progress, abandoned long ago. Soetermans. T / C 14:18, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Massively multiplayer online strategy video games (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template's subject is a video game genre, too narrow for a navbox. There's already {{Multiplayer online games}}. Template is mainly used on video game articles, failing WP:NAVBOX. Soetermans. T / C 14:10, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- There's also the sidebar {{VG Strategy}}. --Soetermans. T / C 14:12, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Animated Series (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

All the links are to the same article, so this does not function as a navigational aid. Rob Sinden (talk) 09:50, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Long Beach State 49ers bowl game navbox (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

WP:EXISTING -- one article that does not exist. The team has only made one (1) bowl game, and the team is defunct as of 1991. Also fails WP:NAVBOX No. 4: "There should be a Wikipedia article on the subject of the template" Corkythehornetfan 02:28, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
