Template that doesn't seem to have wide-accepted use. Used infrequently and somewhat redundant to using the "noprose" parameter on articles with the {{Album ratings}} template. While this template precludes the need for the ratings template, only 5 articles utilize the template (as shown by Category:Album and single articles that lack a critical reception section), while there are over 12,000 articles with "noprose = yes" (see Category:Articles with album ratings that need to be turned into prose). The lack of discussion at WT:ALBUMS when brought up to that project a week ago is probably a strong indication use of this template has never gone anywhere since it was created in 2007.

• Delete Insufficient complexity of markup to warrant a template. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 23:32, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
• Delete the fact that only 5 articles use this suggests to me that it is not very useful for editors, as suggested by the mammoth size of that category with a very similar intention populated using other methods. A second best option would be to rename and link it more strongly with the relevant wikiproject. --Tom (LT) (talk) 01:53, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
