Module:OldEnglishToIPA

• Module:OldEnglishToIPA (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused module, completely orphaned, hardcoded version of Template:MultiReplace anyway. * Pppery * _{has returned} 20:45, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. --Gonnym (talk) 07:37, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
• Keep. It serves a useful purpose, and it could be really nifty to use its functionality in {{IPA-ang}} or other higher-level templates. I don't see how it can be compared to the module used by Template:MultiReplace: that is a generic string function module, this is a module that transcribes between Old English spelling and IPA. – Uanfala (talk) 09:56, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
• Provisional keep, per Unafala, but it would need to actually be used for that (or some other) purpose; we should not keep a template around for another decade just on the theory that it could be used.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  22:44, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Seasonal rugby squad navboxes

• Template:2014–15 Edinburgh Rugby Pro12 squad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:2015–16 Edinburgh Rugby Pro12 squad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:2015–16 Zebre Pro12 squad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:2016–17 Zebre Pro12 squad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:2014–15 Mogliano squad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This is navbox overkill. If a player had one of these navboxes for every season of their career, it would be an absolute mess at the bottom of their article. Squad navboxes should be for international tournaments like the Rugby World Cup and current international and club squads. – PeeJay 17:25, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

• Delete per nom; only the current season should have a navbox or this would really be an overkill. --Gonnym (talk) 07:37, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

• Delete per nom; serious overkill. noq (talk) 10:09, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
• Comment I've found some more of these that should probably be deleted, but instead of adding them to this nomination, I will use whatever consensus we come to here to inform whether or not I nominate them for deletion as well. – PeeJay 12:51, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
• Delete per nomination. Also Comment I think individual season ones are fine for title winning years (where there is an individual season article) for Premiership, Pro14, Top14, Champions Cup and Super Rugby, these are by default limited in number and worth recording.Skeene88 (talk) 18:39, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Template:MUNI icon strip

• Template:MUNI icon strip (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. Useddenim (talk) 13:30, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Template:New Regime (American band)

• Template:New Regime (American band) (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This band's navigational template consists of two articles: the band's and one of its members' articles. These two articles already link to each other, so this navigational template has too few links, is unnecessary and WP:NENAN. Aspects (talk) 02:52, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

• Delete per nom; two articles do not need a navigation template. --Gonnym (talk) 07:37, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Unused article assessment class templates

• Template:AN-Class (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:GAN-Class (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:FAC-Class (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:FT-class (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

All of these templates are unused. I will go into more detail below why they are unlikely to be used, but I will start by noting none of them are recognized on the tables on Template:Grading scheme.

{{AN-Class}} is the only place on Wikipedia that references an assessment class called "AN class"; see the search results for "AN-Class" (mainspace and filespace excluded because they're not discussion namespaces and they're full of unrelated content like AN class). Yes, I do know the hyphens between words in quotation marks make no difference in search results and could be replaced by spaces.

{{GAN-Class}} and {{FAC-Class}} are unlikely to be used because WP:GAN and WP:FAC are nominations to be assessed, not assessments of quality themselves simply by merit of being nominated.

{{FT-class}} has no use case because Featured topics are not applied to individual articles, but a designation given to collection of articles. Assessment classes are only relevant for individual articles. e^πi (talk | contribs) 01:49, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

• {{GAN-Class}} is used in cases such as User:Iazyges/Kriegsmarine Destroyers when creating worklists. It tends to only be used temporarily while the article is awaiting review, hence why it isn't used as much as others. I still think it's useful. No thoughts on the others.

Your same argument would also apply to {{FAC-Class}}. I did forgot about the Iazyges subpage transclusion, though I'll note the one transclusion currently there is outdated. e^πi (talk | contribs) 02:31, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

@Czar: I have removed {{GAN-Class}} and {{FAC-Class}} from the nomination based on you pointing out how they can be useful in other contexts I didn't consider. e^πi (talk | contribs) 03:04, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Template:GAN link/core

• Template:GAN link/core (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

It was deprecated in 2016 by Mr. Stradivarius in Special:Diff/755078860, and is no longer used or needed. DannyS712 (talk) 00:36, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
