Redundant duplicate of Template:Gs/alert, which is the main template used for this. I don't believe this template is used by any individuals or scripts. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 18:50, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This template doesn't add anything on top of {{Ds/talk notice}}, and so the general talk template should be used here. This used to be for community sanctions, but those were superseded. I've changed the remaining usages of it to {{Ds/talk notice}}, so it's no longer in use as far as I can see. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 14:32, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

X2 has now been deprecated as well leading to two CSD criteria being removed in one week but only one in the preceding decade. Like I said at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2020 July 14#Template:Db-t2 I don't care if this is marked as historical or deleted, but I think we should have this discussion. --Trialpears (talk) 11:47, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as the user who originally nominated {{db-x1}} for deletion * Pppery * it has begun... 02:09, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The template has served its purpose and is no longer used. As with all templates brought to TfD, when they are not needed anymore, there is no real reason to keep them around (these are not special). --Gonnym (talk) 09:55, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or mark as historical. There is no need to keep this but we can archive this as part of Wikipedia's record. Aasim 22:40, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Originally nominated for speedy deletion by @BlueMoonset with the reason "this DYK nomination page was created but never transcluded by student editor whose penultimate edit for the class was to create this page; deleting two weeks after the class ended per User talk:Ian (Wiki Ed)#Template:Did you know nominations/Dr. Joseph Konde-Lule" FASTILY 00:59, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to point out that this deletion request is normal, if infrequent, DYK housekeeping. Nominators are supposed to transclude the nomination template as part of their nomination process, and this nomination was never transcluded. A bot automatically places a message noting the failure (see User talk:EmDom521#Incomplete DYK nomination); however, since the editor's class was over, they stopped editing altogether, and never responded, effectively abandoning the nomination. I got in touch with one of the Wiki Ed coordinators, Ian Ramjohn, for the course EmDom521 was taking, and as he replied that the nomination should be closed, I put up a G6, something that I have never been questioned in the past. I hope that the page is deleted as per process. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:53, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
