Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/header

It doesn't seem to have a purpose. Note that it's not used on the RFA page. It's only linked to by a couple of people's subpages, on lists of every RFA subpage. -- How do you turn this on (talk) 13:39, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

• Strong keep, this was once used at WP:RFA, and hence will show up in old revisions should anyone look through the page history for whatever reason. Daniel (talk) 10:13, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
• When was it used? It was created in May. -- How do you turn this on (talk) 14:05, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
• Just to say, I was WP:CANVASSED by Suntag via e-mail. Considering I'm inactive on ENWP, I don't think I should vote on this. Mⁱc_rochip ⁰⁸ 10:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

• Keep, Move + Redirect per Daniel, but given that its an old template, might be worth doing some housekeeping so that there is no confusion if someone stumbles accross. My suggestion was simply just to move it to something like Wikipedia:Requests foradminship/header old and redirect to that page. Might seem padantic and too much effort but I dont mind doing it myself. Seddσn ^{talk Editor Review} 01:14, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

::I don't get it. It's not old, it was created in May, and has never been used anywhere. -- How do you turn this on (talk) 07:20, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

• Can I just make something clear: this template has never been used in any official capacity anywhere, and was created in May. It's not old, nor did the current header replace it. -- How do you turn this on (talk) 07:25, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
• Delete unless someone can show some useful purpose for it or that it was ever used on WP:RFA (despite a decent search, I couldn't find any evidence of that).--chaser - t 08:16, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
• Delete if it has never been used (which is quite likely the case), it will never show up even in old versions of WP:RFA. Pegasus «C¦T» 11:59, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - The creator of the page, Microchip08, offered no explaination above as to why the page was created in May 2008 and any assertion that it was used on WP:RFA. No diffs have been provided showing that the page was use on WP:RFA. -- Suntag ☼ 18:10, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
