Both unused and no longer used by the USPE WikiProject. From the previous Tfd for the main template from November 25, 2011, the result was keep for now. The nominator mentioned that it was "Deprecated, very few transclusions". And the keep votes were in favor of deletion until it was no longer used. Almost ten years later, the template is no longer used and does qualify for deletion. The editintro subpage is not used as well. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:41, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

• Keep Template:WikiProject United States presidential elections, which seems to be a perfectly standard WikiProject banner wrapper template and is not used because it's subst only. Delete Template:WikiProject United States presidential elections/editintro per nom. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 22:08, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

  * Pppery *, so any of the banner wrapper templates that aren't used should stay because just in case members of the WikiProject may use them. Is that why they stay as they are? --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:27, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

  It's not for members of the WikiProject, it's for people who incorrectly think there is a WikiProject with the given name (and people add redlinked WikiProject templates bore often than you might think). But this is all irrelevant. The burden is on you, as the deletion nominator, to explain why the page should be deleted, which you've failed to do (instead relying on a misunderstanding of its purpose). * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 14:34, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Izno (talk) 15:41, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

• Keep. As a subst-only template, it is to be expected that it has no transclusions. Further, the use of a template wrapper for WikiProject task forces is widespread and accepted. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  19:13, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
