  • {{Ping|Omni Flames}} Why relist? This has already had a week for anyone to raise objections. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:29, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
  • {{re|Pigsonthewing}} I'm fully aware of WP:NOQUORUM, but I think in this case we should wait for another week or so and if no one raises objections then, then this template should be deleted. Omni Flames (talk) 21:59, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
  • {{ping|Omni Flames}} I appreciate the caution. Many items in this mass-listing of all low-use EL templates are actually single-source citation templates and other things that should be kept, sometimes after some minimal cleanup. (Many are also trash that need to be taken out, like this particular one.) One week isn't really enough time to examine all of these, since most of us have lives and jobs, and going through all this is a slow and tedious process. The review of the templates needs to be done, but not rushed.  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  03:20, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
  • Even if there were not already enough reason to delete the template (and there is), we can wait another week without the need to relist. WP:NOTBUREAUCRACY applies. So does WP:SNOWBALL Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:04, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

  • {{Tfd links|Bakersfield Jam current roster}}

This NBA Development League team has moved and been renamed the "Northern Arizona Suns." A template for that teams current roster has been created. Since the franchise no longer exists, there is no Bakersfield Jam "current roster". Rikster2 (talk) 23:26, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

  • Delete. This is too narrow a thing (profiles of Argentine bishops – only Argentine, and only bishops) to need a single-source citation/link template.  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  04:15, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:EL and WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE. While we could certainly have a template like this at the national level, that linked to an article on official "patrimonial value" sites, if this were comparable to things like the US Register of Historic Places, etc., there's no encyclopedic value in what some local municipality is labeling this way.  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  04:18, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

All links just got PRODed (the pages were empty). Was included in one page (now zero) and not useful there. David Gerard (talk) 13:13, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

  • Delete since it's all redlinks now. Wise move, too. Individual players might be notable, but one-off teams they form for a regional competition cannot be (absent something really unusual, like a whole team being electrocuted in a swimming pool or whatever, and becoming notable for something other than being a one-off regional competition sports team).  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  04:20, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

  • Keep per Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2012 November 20#Template:United States at the Olympics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BaldBoris (talkcontribs) 15:06, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
  • That discussion ended as no consensus. Armbrust The Homunculus 16:18, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
  • Yes, it was rather a strange close, wasn't it? Thincat (talk) 22:17, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
  • Keep, and fix the infoboxes. The earlier TfD cited (which was clearly a keep, no matter what the closer said) is correct: It's the infoboxes that are inappropriately trying to act as navboxes, not the other way around. We would never, ever tolerate that level of piled up nav material in an infobox anywhere else, so it shouldn't be done for Olympics articles, either. The nav content in the infoboxes needs to move to navboxes modeled on this one and the US one in the earlier TfD.  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  04:37, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

:The template still serves a purpose in making it much easier to link to PetScan queries. Formatting links with this template means that if the tool changes location or format, the queries can be updated just by updating this template (like I did just a few days ago!). Additionally, the template doesn't violate any of the WP:TG guidelines, nor does it meet any of WP:TFD#REASONS (current low-usage is not unused, and not an indication of potential future uses), so I don't see any reason to delete, or benefit from deleting, this now functional template. - Evad37 [talk] 02:00, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

::I've found a similar template {{tl|Catscan}}, so I'm changing my !vote to merge that template into {{tl|PetScan}} (which will result in about 35 transclusions) - Evad37 [talk] 10:44, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
