Substitute all these templates on the two articles it's used on. Used only on two articles. These templates are not going to be used much outside the two articles and the results shouldn't be on their own template space when they can be already included as part of the related articles. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 21:07, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

All should be substituted where used. Majority single-use with the exception of 1990, 1999, and 2004. Section transclusion may not be necessary but it can be. 1967 to 1985 don't have the necessary article space to be used on and should be kept on the Elections in Sabah article. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 20:04, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Subst and delete. Subst to either the Elections in Sabah or the "yyyy Sabah state election" article (whichever is used) and transclude to "yyyy Malaysian state elections". Gonnym (talk) 18:38, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unused. Baseball-reference.com has an open wiki, nearly identical to WP, called BR Bullpen. Articles should not be sourced or have an EL to an open wiki. Rgrds. --Bison X (talk) 19:29, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ridiculously large nav-box containing over 770 links, 640 of which lead to articles on the Turkish language encyclopedia. If we were to remove the cross project links this template would be 80% red links. I don't think "tv series which have been cancelled" is a natural way of browsing TV shows - it's far too wide of a classification resulting in a template that is too large to navigate and which includes tv shows that wouldn't naturally be read together. I think it would be better to include a link to List of Turkish Tv Series in Template:Television in Turkey rather than trying to turn the list into an unusable navbox. 192.76.8.74 (talk) 14:57, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Template {{Spoken Wikipedia}} has been migrated to use Lua Module:Spoken Wikipedia in November 2020. The module hasn't been edited since February 2021, it is covered pretty well by testcases.

Template {{Spoken Wikipedia boilerplate}} is now unused (only three transclusions in user sandboxes) and it is unlikely to be used again. —⁠andrybak (talk) 10:03, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. Note, HawkAussie and WikiCleanerMan, in general it is not appropriate to substitute templates before TFD. Izno (talk) 12:37, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't used now as it was substituted HawkAussie (talk) 08:53, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If a template is unused, then it is a reason to delete. Has been for many unused templates. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:13, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@WikiCleanerMan: If I go now onto all of the Real Madrid players' pages and subst the template {{Real Madrid CF squad}} so that it's hardcoded, should I then bring that template to TfD as it is unused? --SuperJew (talk) 20:02, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's a navbox. It's being used and it's for a team that currently exists. These templates don't have the same navigational purpose. Navboxes don't need to be hardcoded. Please stop shooting yourself in the foot. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 20:04, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I was just using the same logic as you are using. How is it different? In this case the template is used to update information in one place when it is used on several pages, and in that case the template is used to update information in one place when it is used on several pages. Please noiminate TfDs on merits of arguments about the template and not about it's usage or lack thereof. --SuperJew (talk) 20:20, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
These templates that are nominated are not navboxes. These are article forks. I and the nominator know how Tfd's work. If a template is not used or has single-use it qualifies for deletion. Try expanding your Tfd's votes beyond the sports realm. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 20:35, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You're just using titles and not making actual arguments. If a template is not used or has single-use it qualifies for deletion. - so as said above, based on this logic, I could theoretically remove all uses of the {{Real Madrid CF squad}} template and then it would qualify for deletion. And no thanks, I will probably stay within the sports realm as that is the realm I edit and am interested in on Wikipedia. --SuperJew (talk) 05:08, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Rugby sevens at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament#Group B
Canada at the 2020 Summer Olympics#Rugby sevens
Brazil at the 2020 Summer Olympics#Rugby sevens
The latter two currently transclude the match from the first with {{#section:Rugby sevens at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament|MA2}} which produces:
29 July 2021 (2021-07-29)
9:30
Canada  33–0  Brazil
Try: Williams 6' c
Wardley (2) 9' c, 14' +1 m
Paquin 11' c
Landry 13' c
Con: Landry (4/5) 7', 9', 11', 13'
(Tokyo 2020)
Tokyo Stadium, Tokyo
That gives no code duplication and seems a sensible arrangement instead of a small template for every match. There were 34 matches and this was just one event at one Olympics. PrimeHunter (talk) 03:18, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
