Template:Legislatures of Yugoslavia

Template:Legislatures of Yugoslavia (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

In this navbox, there are 18 links of which 14 are not about Yugoslavian legislature. They are either about the states historically preceding or succeeding Yugoslavia. Of the four links about the Yugoslavian legislature, three point to the same article, Parliament of Yugoslavia. One points to the Temporary National Representation article. (Those two are the only two pages that currently transclude this template.) Thus, I think that this navbox is useless, it just takes much space on the page while it does not ease navigation. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:11, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

confusing shortcut due to the multitude of meanings for ME. Frietjes (talk) 18:25, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose move to keep consistent with other postal-code template naming conventions. I would support a massive move only if templates on all territorial postal codes were created, which they aren't. ToThAc (talk) 18:41, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- ToThAc, this isn't a move proposal, this is a deletion proposal, see {{AL}}, {{AK}}, {{AZ}}, .... for the others. if you want something that isn't confusing, prefix it with 'US-'. Frietjes (talk) 18:46, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Frietjes: If this is a deletion proposal, then why are you trying to delete each template on a case-by-case basis, rather than all at once? I'd be more likely to support if you mentioned all of the territory-specific US flag templates for deletion at once. ToThAc (talk) 18:50, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ToThAc, there are only 6 total, and the reasons for deleting each one differ. Frietjes (talk) 18:56, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Districts of the Metropolitan Association of Upper Silesia

Template:Districts of the Metropolitan Association of Upper Silesia (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template is only transcluded onto Metropolitan Association of Upper Silesia and nowhere else. ToThAc (talk) 18:24, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:MA

Template:MA (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

confusing shortcut due to the existence of Template:Ma. also, I have no idea why it's being used in 1017 deaths. Frietjes (talk) 18:23, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose move as there are many other templates where both the all-caps and all-lowercase words are used (such as {{CAN}} and {{Can}}). ToThAc (talk) 18:38, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- so why is being used in 1017 deaths if it's not confusing? Frietjes (talk) 18:57, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:CA

Template:CA (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

confusing shortcut since CA is the abbreviation for Canada (per {{US}}) and {{Ca}} is a redirect to Template:ca icon and {{ca.}} is a redirect to Template:Circa. Frietjes (talk) 16:35, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose move as Canada's ISO abbreviation is actually CAN. Furthermore, {{Ca}} is not a Canada-related template either. ToThAc (talk) 18:29, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- this is a deletion proposal, not a move proposal, and as for template:can, I have no idea why that is being used in Drägerman. Frietjes (talk) 18:49, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:NatLeagAllStars by year

Template:NatLeagAllStars by year (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Major information technology companies (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

looks like WP:OR with an arbitrary cut-off for inclusion Frietjes (talk) 15:15, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Lordtobi (✉) 16:17, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Very good and informative. It is not a WP:OR and it has a specific criteria for inclusion and exclusion. While supporting keeping it, I may suggest tightening the criteria even more to shorten the list. --Wisamzaqoot (talk) 02:43, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
