Deprecated template. GXXF TC 15:07, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hasn't been any nominations for deletion of this template in a long time now; imo it's historical and should be kept as such. AzaToth 17:04, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as historical. — xaosflux Talk 17:05, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There is no need to keep templates that have been deprecated and non-functional for ten years! Pppery 21:59, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. We don't keep templates just for their use in ten-year-old page revisions. It's difficult to maintain the template namespace when we have lots of these old relics floating around clogging up database reports, etc. ~ Rob13Talk 02:06, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Isn't this the famous template that ultimately prompted the creation of the parser functions? Then it's an obvious keep for historical reasons. It's also linked from a few hundred pages. – Uanfala (talk) 02:13, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as historical. It's linked to from 739 pages. I don't see how it can adversely affect server speed or memory. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:16, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - not sure where else to post this. Is Qif called by {{cite web}}, because every instance of cite web no longer shows the citation information, but instead says "‹ The template below (Qif) is being considered for deletion. See templates for discussion to help reach a consensus.›" in the reference section. Can something be done about that? See Debra Ruh, which I am trying to save from deletion.--CaroleHenson (talk) 00:06, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to interrupt, it's fixed now.--CaroleHenson (talk) 00:21, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@CaroleHenson: This was a temporary glitch resulting from Anthony Appleyard doing a histmerge involving that template at my request. Pppery 00:22, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep per Uanfala and Kudpung. It seems valuable as a historical reference given the revelations from Uanfala.— Godsy (TALKCONT) 06:23, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

The result of the discussion was delete, after replacing Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 00:47, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a citation template for the archives of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle at the Brooklyn Public Library. It was created in 2007. It appears that in 2014 the site was relaunched as a partnership with Newspapers.com. The content is still there, but all the links are broken and probably can't be fixed given how the Newspapers.com platform handles deep linking. My thinking is that this template should be deprecated and editors encouraged to create WP:Newspapers.com-style clippings. Mackensen (talk) 23:13, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

When all these BDE articles were originally used before the Newspapers.com acquisition, they were too small to read. Just thought I'd mention this. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 06:00, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Clarification: the links can't be fixed in the template; editors could still take the information, find the article, and make clippings. Mackensen (talk) 13:00, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

    • Fine, but if there's any substitution besides total deletion, we should take it. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 17:54, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Clean it up first, whether automated or manual. I don't support deletion until that's done. There are over 100 articles that use the template, some multiple times. Dovid (talk) 01:33, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • That's the proposal; to deprecate it and replace all usages. Mackensen (talk) 13:16, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

unused, may be related to template:infobox map? Frietjes (talk) 16:32, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete --- this was a template used in {{Infobox mountain range}} to assist in conversion from {{Geobox}}. It was used from 2012 (when written by Droll) until 2014 (when I hacked rarely-used complex map functionality out of the mountain range infobox). It can now be safely deleted. —hike395 (talk) 17:30, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
