The result of the discussion was delete. G7 (non-admin closure) --Trialpears (talk) 20:13, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unused template redundant to {{Template category}} with container=yes. It is also self contradictory since it says "This category contains pages in the template namespace", but that is another problem. --Trialpears (talk) 19:47, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's supposed to be used on categories of templates that only contain templates via sub categories. These types of categories are known as container categories.

I understood that but it generates the same thing as {{Template category}} with container=yes which is what's actually used on these categories. --Trialpears (talk) 20:02, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have g7'd it. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 20:09, 25 August 2019 (UTC).[reply]

The template is only used in one location. I have merged the content of the template into the article it was being used in Canoeing at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Qualification. This renders this template unnecessary, which is why I am nominating it for deletion. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 14:34, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This template should be deleted because it's already on the main USMNT templates, and it doesn't connect to any categories. KingSkyLord (Talk page | Contributions) 13:07, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

While I appreciate the effort gone into these templates, they are not useful. Principally, organizing research institutes and think tanks by their location is not a natural classification. Organizing by research areas, outputs, methodologies, or ideological orientation might be justifiable, but the fact that two think tanks are located on the same block is not the basis for any relationship. Second, the number of such organizations in the U.S. is vast, with an overwhelming concentration of them is to be found in a handful of cities, principally Washington and New York and their suburbs. The number of WP articles about think tanks is likely to continue to increase, and the grounds for deletion of "American think tanks" a year ago as "too large to be useful as a navigational aid. Best left for categories and articles" stands for these as well. - choster (talk) 04:42, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
