The result of the discussion was no consensus. The template was nominated for deletion fifteen hours after it was created on 18 August 2013. As of this close on 13 September 2013 , the template has seven active links and appears to have had one active link when nominated. The discussion mostly focused on the lack of active links. The significant change in circumstances since the template was nominated means that just about all the discussion is not applicable to the present circumstances. -- Jreferee (talk) 04:54, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Noble Network of Charter Schools (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Only one of these schools has its own article, and that article has only existed since yesterday. These are all very new charter schools, without much history, and I'd be surprised to see viable articles on all of them. It may be possible to write a decent article on each, but the average user won't have the skills to do it. It's more likely that we'll get a bunch of stubs, or a bunch of advertisements written by school employees. (Even the articles on Chicago's elite magnet schools are in lousy shape, so the idea of a bunch of new charter school articles makes me nervous.) Zagalejo^^^ 17:52, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ar and En

The result of the discussion was replace uses of {{en}} and {{ar}} with {{en icon}} and {{ar icon}}, in namespaces other than the file namespace to avoid issues with conflicting usage of these templates on commons. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 17:17, 14 September 2013 (UTC) (updated Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 21:45, 21 September 2013 (UTC))[reply]

Template:Ar (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Ar icon (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:En (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:En icon (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Ar with Template:Ar icon and Template:En with Template:En icon.
Two templates misguidedly imported from Commons. Redirect to icon tpls {{Ar icon}} and {{En icon}} and replace/remove instances of what should've been {{Lang-ar}} and {{Lang-en}}. — Lfdder (talk) 00:28, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitrary break for ease of editing
[edit]

Here's a complete list, I believe: User:Jonesey95/sandbox/language-templates. I started with the List of ISO 639-2 codes and 639-1 codes, then processed from there. The next step is to split the list of valid two- and three-letter templates into some number of types, including:

  1. Templates that are not language-related, i.e. that do not serve the same purpose as the matching xx icon template.
  2. Templates that are already redirects to the matching xx icon template.
  3. Templates that do the same thing as the xx icon template and should be redirected (e.g. {{ar}} and {{en}}).
  4. Templates that are language templates but that are not coded like their matching xx icon templates (e.g. {{zh}}).

You are welcome to continue my work by adding to my sandbox page. I need to go to bed. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:05, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. These are the language codes from that list that don't redirect to xx icon:
