Unused template, which shouldn't be included in a template anyway. JMHamo (talk) 23:00, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unused template, probably a test JMHamo (talk) 20:36, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The template is unused & can be deleted.--Sae1962 (talk) 14:07, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's part of a series of templates so I'd imagine its existence is expected and even if it gets deleted now, it's likely to get recreated in the future. – Uanfala (talk) 14:37, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- For the avoidance of doubt, the above comment is intended as a keep !vote. – Uanfala (talk) 14:38, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Uanfala: If the creator of this template Sae1962 says that it's unused (since 2011) and can be deleted, then your !vote does not make sense. JMHamo (talk) 19:39, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    - JMHamo, if the creator of the template is happy for it to be deleted, then that's a strong argument (well, not technically an "argument" but still..). My opinion, however, isn't predicated on the template creator's views so I don't see why it would not make sense. The creator of a template isn't generally the only user ever likely to find that template useful. – Uanfala (talk) 20:22, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
delete per author approval. Frietjes (talk) 22:47, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Only includes two/three pages in each template which are all interlinked within the respective articles anyway meaning the above templates serve no purpose. 87.115.201.139 (talk) 19:43, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agree - didn't release there were so many of them. Deleting is a reasonable option here. Blue Square Thing (talk) 22:11, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template:WikiProject Medicine/App/Banner (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This does NOT belong in articles. However, members of Wikiproject Medicine are putting it in articles. One even removed it from MfD without marking it as a non-admin closure. This is why it is on TfD. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 16:12, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't in any articles… Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 16:20, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's on a good article. It was on a few others too for a while. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 16:21, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. If it does not belong in articles is not a reason to delete it. It is a banner for the project. QuackGuru (talk) 16:26, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Put it in talkspace (like what zh.wiki does) then. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 16:27, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We may have an early close if that resolves the issue for you. QuackGuru (talk) 16:35, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why would it matter what another Wikipedia does? We don't have the same policies, and barring any policy reason why should we change anything? Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 16:42, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. If someone adds the wrong tag or banner to an article that is not a reason to delete the tag or banner. Is there any reason to delete the banner from Wikipedia entirely? QuackGuru (talk) 16:53, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
