Template:Coptic Popes

Template:Coptic Popes (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Patriarchs of Alexandria (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Coptic Popes with Template:Patriarchs of Alexandria.
All the Popes of Alexandria listed at Template:Coptic Popes are also listed at Template:Patriarchs of Alexandria, just not vice versa. Since the latter template is therefore a perfect superset of the former, it is redundant for them to exist as separate templates. However, the post-merger Template:Patriarchs of Alexandria should probably adopt the color scheme and right-hand illustration previously seen at Template:Coptic Popes. This would make the merged template fully analogous to Template:Popes, which is appropriate because both concern offices necessarily held by Bishops.

Template:Activision Extreme Sports

Template:Activision Extreme Sports (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I don't know if any of the CSD criteria apply, so I'm TfDing. This template is pretty much a duplicate of Template:Tony Hawk games with the other games section being moved from the aforementioned template. ZappaOMati 04:13, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Why? No rationale given for the !vote. ZappaOMati 21:06, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Template:Exile on Main St.

Template:Exile on Main St. (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Navigation and functionality already exists with the template, {{Exile on Main St. tracks}}, and would be used in the same exact articles. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 22:49, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Template:Start-Ups: Silicon Valley

Template:Start-Ups: Silicon Valley (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The series is cancelled, and this template isn't being used anywhere else. What's the point? Recollected (talk) 07:59, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Keep - The template is a navigation box used to navigate between related articles; the template's "what links here" points out the template is already transcluded in those related articles, so it serves its purpose. Having a show canceled doesn't remove its notability. --w^{L<speak·check>} 09:20, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Keep Navbox for a notable TV show. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 13:17, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

• Delete not enough articles to need a navbox for, after removing bravo and silicon valley, which are not appropriate for a navbox. also, stars of shows dont get to be in navboxes, only writers/directors/producers, per numerous discussions (i know, not having william shatner in a star trek navbox seems crazy, but once you allow one, where do you stop?) Aside to nominator: let this discussion come to a natural conclusion, even if its a "snow keep", and dont remove the discussion manually, let an admin decide then archive it properly.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 23:24, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Victorian Tourist Railway Station

Template:Infobox Victorian Tourist Railway Station (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Replaceable by {{Infobox station}} 69.158.92.96 (talk) 06:01, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Template:CWNetwork Shows (current and upcoming)

Template:CWNetwork Shows (current and upcoming) (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant with Template:CWNetwork Shows; same info in both places. Not necessary to have two separate templates. -- Wikipedical (talk) 02:55, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

• Delete Redundant. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 13:18, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
• Delete Not much content do not need to split--Qa003qa003 (talk) 09:23, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
• Keep The split is so that all five networks have the same template type for current shows.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:13, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

TV channel footer templates

Template:MTVNetwork Shows footer (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Syfy Shows footer (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Completely unnecessary and strange templates that merely served as links to Template:MTVNetwork Shows (current and upcoming) and Template:Syfy Shows (current and upcoming) at the bottoms of those same templates. I've since removed them from usage, since they were merely self-referential and present on only those other templates. -- Wikipedical (talk) 02:36, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Template:CWNetwork Shows footer I learned this.--Qa003qa003 (talk) 09:29, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Template:Jefferson Republican Party/meta/shortname

Template:Jefferson Republican Party/meta/shortname (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused template, just three words. The Jefferson Republican Party was judged to be not notable at this AFD discussion for the article on the party. I could probably just speedy this but figured I'd take the cautious route. Delete. delldot ∇. 01:04, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Template:Jefferson Republican Party/meta/color

Template:Jefferson Republican Party/meta/color (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused template, duplicated elsewhere. The Jefferson Republican Party was judged to be not notable at this AFD discussion for the article on the party. Delete. delldot ∇. 01:00, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

• Duh, I probably should have just speedied these as subpages of a nonexistent template. But now that these are here I guess I'll leave them. delldot ∇. 01:12, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
