- Template:V0.5 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
This banner appears to be of historical interest only; Version 0.5 is now 12 years old, the banner was stripped of its categories in 2017 so it no longer serves any functional purpose, and there appear to be only 645 transclusions remaining of the original 1,964 articles. Lists of the Version 0.5 articles are kept at Wikipedia:Version 0.5 and Wikipedia:Version 0.5/Alphabetical, so no information will be lost by removing the remaining banners.

- Mark as historical/defunct. It's quite clear that version 0.5 is dead. But those articles still remaining should remained marked in a way that shows it was part of the version 0.5 OhanaUnitedTalk page 04:14, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- To what end? The information is documented elsewhere. For those that remain it's just unnecessary talk page clutter. PC78 (talk) 06:20, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete No value in template, deprecation really doesn't mean anything since there will be no more uses anyway. --Trialpears (talk) 19:17, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete as obsolete. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:33, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
Duplicate information. These seasons are already included in Template:Tweede Divisie, a concise and well-organized template. gidonb (talk) 22:41, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per nominator....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:16, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Unused subtemplate, does not appear to have ever been used in {{WikiProject Korea}} or {{WikiProject Korea/sandbox}}; creator is no longer active on Wikipedia. PC78 (talk) 18:54, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. No current use or need. gidonb (talk) 00:23, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
- Comment There seems to be almost a hundred of these templates. They have to have server some purpose, at least at some point in time. I will oppose until we've made sure it's not used by a bot or other tool. Notification posted at Template talk:WPBannerMeta --Trialpears (talk) 06:43, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- I can find 93 of these in total: [1]. I looked at the first half dozen or so and none appear to be in use. Kephir created a few and appears to be the most recently active user. Something to do with User:Kephir/gadgets/rater as far as I can tell. PC78 (talk) 07:09, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- Keep Used by User:Kephir/gadgets/rater.js gadget, which though an older version of Evad37's rater, still has a handful of users. The data is in JSON format, but with wikitext contentmodel. An interface admin should probably be asked to correct the contentmodel. SD0001 (talk) 08:04, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- 93 seems like an unhelpfully small and random sample of WikiProject banners, and maintaining a subpage for every project banner hardly seems practical. If they are to be kept then at the very least these subpages could do with some sort of documentation to make their purpose clear. PC78 (talk) 08:38, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- I don't know much about how user scripts are usually handled, but would redirecting User:Kephir/gadgets/rater to User:Evad37/rater? Evad37's script is maintained while Kephir's is not. It seems to have all functions of Kephir's script and doesn't rely on specific rater data to handle exceptions. --Trialpears (talk) 08:49, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete 93 templates should not be kept around indefinitely for the sake of a superseded script. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:34, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- Template:Lil Tracy (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Navbox with only one entry, so nothing to navigate to. And even the one entry is of dubious notability. Richard3120 (talk) 01:06, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. Did not research the notability of the entry. Even IF fine the template is still created WP:TOOSOON. gidonb (talk) 00:22, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
