Delete Just make sure all features from the modules are there first. ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 19:21, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and I concur with Trialpears. I assume we'd update the 789 transclusions to use {{Cfd all}} instead? Seems like a reasonable nomination. Doug Mehus T·C 19:58, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I'm not invested in this module/template group so not going to add an official !vote to this for the moment. I will say that I believe module code to be superior to template code and that less people being able to edit Lua, does not matter in high-risk barely-edited modules. That said, Module:Cfd is badly written and not really taking advantage of the fact that its written in Lua. --Gonnym (talk) 20:05, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The above is a list of {{xx icon}} templates that remain following the conclusion of Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2020 January 10 § Link language wrappers with under 100 transclusions. The existence of these templates is apparently the reason that Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2020 February 4 § Template:Link language is stalled.

All of this is a followup to Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 June 9 § Link language wrappers where there was a consensus to remove usage of these wrappers but not for deletion. Monkbot/task 15 replaced almost all of the {{xx icon}} templates, their redirects, and {{link language}} and its redirects with {{in lang}}. Monkbot/task 15 continues to replace a handful of these templates daily. It is time to unstick the deletion process, delete these remaining {{xx icon}} templates, so that the {{link language}} tld can proceed, and then retire Monkbot/task 15.

Delete per my previous arguments on all 3 previous discussions. --Gonnym (talk) 18:57, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The whole "Keep the templates that used to be high use after orphaning the entire batch" thing was bogus from the start. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 19:12, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Week keep Unnecessarily disrupting 8 (which is about how many task 15 edits Monkbot does a day) content creator a day by removing a feature that they have used for years is not a good idea if it can reasonably be avoided. However stalling this entire process because of it is almost as bad with it keeping duplicate category trees and templates and causing a lot of confusion. My preference can be seen at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2020 January 10#Link language wrappers with under 100 transclusions, but that doesn't seem to be gaining much traction. ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 19:29, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Please delete. these things need to go. [per my statements in all previous discussions] –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 17:10, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Practically unused set of templates (once in 2009). They should be substituted and deleted. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 14:35, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Subst and delete per nom. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 16:19, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Substitute and delete per nom; only 4 transclusions, so it seems this template has been superceded by another template. Doug Mehus T·C 22:22, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. These templates are used, even if there is no anticipated further use. Substituting would unnecessarily clutter these pages with redundant code. --Bsherr (talk) 06:17, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Replace with {{Archive top}} and delete. The current transclusions are on Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/CheckUser and Oversight/February 2009 election . Looking at the last year article Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/CheckUser and Oversight/2019 CUOS appointments/CU, these use {{Archive top}}. --Gonnym (talk) 10:29, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
