Unused table. Could be used in either History of the iPhone or iPhone but isn't. Even if will be used in one of those, it should be subst into the article and the template deleted. Gonnym (talk) 18:31, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for forgetting about this one. Goal was to use it in iOS version history as a replacement for the 'green checkbox' template which unsustainably expands both vertically and horizontally every year (bad for mobile readers). But I'll clean it up and put it directly in the article; I have it saved, this can be deleted. DFlhb (talk) 18:56, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The template implies that a print edition ending automatically makes the article in need of copy-editing and referencing work, which makes no sense. The template also does not have a condition for when it should be removed, and the purpose of the template—to mark articles with an article-facing banner for the purposes of informing readers of the state of the subject—is an inappropriate use of {{ambox}}. Altogether, there doesn't seem to be a justifiable reason to retain this specific template: if the article needs copyediting, there's {{copyedit}}; if it needs references, there's a whole suite for that; if it is out of date, there's {{update}}.
This is also not related to deletion rationale, but just to illustrate the situation more broadly, there has also been a concern brought up by User:Novellasyes (at User talk:Ktkvtsh#Newspapers ending print production) that it's being added to articles that a) aren't even newspapers, b) have no references within the article supporting that they have ended print editions, c) don't seem to have even ended print. So, this template is also creating a content issue by merely being placed on some articles. ~Cheers, TenTonParasol 15:38, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I am also going to remove the template from a dozen or so pages on which it was installed, since when the template was installed on those pages, a justification was not included for adding it to them. Justification would equal "reliable sources establishing that the newspaper had stopped print production". The fact that the template as conceived neither requires nor conveniently allows for doing that is one of the reasons I think the template should be deleted.

Comment There are also related categories Category:Newspapers transitioned fully online and Category:Newspapers not listed as fully online (currently empty) that I think are not in line with how we categorize publications. I realize that they are categories, not templates but they were created by the same editor and this template is in one category and joined by the other category so I thought I'd mention them here.

Delete. A newspaper that goes exclusively online obviously might need some minor changes in the introduction, but that isn't a massive enough issue that it would require its own special dedicated maintenance template or queue. Its history, for example, will still be as a print publication, so the article doesn't require a comprehensive overhaul to pretend that it was already a website in 1879. So any needed updates can be easily handled by templates that we already have, like "update" and "copyedit", and there's no special need for this. Bearcat (talk) 12:10, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Message boxes on articles should be about the content of the article, whereas this is related to sourcing on other articles. SWinxy (talk) 17:38, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Single-article text and table with no template parameters. Subst into article and delete. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:00, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose I made this into a template because it shows not only the election results but also the cabinets, so it might be appropriate for different articles. Ironically, I named it after the cabinets, because that was my main focus (I think), but placed it in Elections in the Netherlands. There is, however, also an article List of cabinets of the Netherlands, which lists only the cabinets, but with a different presentation - and more complete, because it also lists pre-WWII cabinets. I don't know why I omitted those.
If there is a disadvantage to having this as a template, feel free to merge it into the article and delete it. DirkvdM (talk) 14:06, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. Only usage in WP space replaced with identical output. No prejudice against restoration if it is to be sandboxed in someone's userspace, as there seems to be some indication that it might find more use. Primefac (talk) 10:17, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Single-article table with no template parameters. Subst into article and delete. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:04, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The reason I haven't nominated this one previously is because it uses TemplateStyles in a way that would be much grosser but still doable in inline styles. I don't think that should stop a merge into the article proper, but (for the closing admin) it is not a trivial subst and delete. Izno (talk) 18:28, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. It being yuk to make into inline styles is giving me pause. Make it an SVG instead maybe? SWinxy (talk) 05:00, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
