• Template:Active User (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Pointless template. Over one third of the transclusions were on pages of editors who have not contributed for several years; some for over a decade (I have now replaced such transclusions with {{not here}}). The remaining 13 represent a statistically-insignificant percentage of Wikipedia's active users. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:29, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:59, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
• Question could a disclaimer simply not be added to the template letting the reader check? something such as (check if this is up-to-date)? --Tom (LT) (talk) 09:44, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
  • What purpose would the template, with that wording, serve? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:10, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
• Delete: There are many ways to know weather a user is still active or not. This is not a best way to do. If the template can update itself(set active or not active) based on some logic, it will be usefull. → Timbaaa_talk 15:10, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

• Template:Rail-header2 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Obsolete and deprecated. Only remaining links are from talk-page discussions. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 16:24, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

• Comment: This template is currently transcluded in 20 articles, e.g. Fletcher's Canal. AlgaeGraphix, do you have a link to a consensus discussion that deprecated this template? – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:33, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

  @Jonesey95: That is a big "oops" on my part! Somehow I mis-typed the template name. The one I intended to nominate for deletion is {{UKrail-header2}}. How does one correct/withdraw a TfD nomination? AlgaeGraphix (talk) 17:54, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

  My source for designating the {{rail-header}} group of templates as deprecated is WP:RDT#Structure used before 2011. There are also relevant discussions at WP:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 February 18#Template:BS-map and WT:Route diagram template/Archive 11#RfC: Conversion of route diagram templates to Template:Routemap format.

  UKrail-header2 should go to RfD if you want to delete it. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:11, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

• Template:Azroth (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template serves no useful purpose and contains an incoherent mythical blurb. Mvqr (talk) 12:18, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

• Delete as incoherent. The template even says "hair" instead of "heir". OcelotCreeper (talk) 15:07, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
• Snow Delete for obvious reasons. Adam9007 (talk) 15:46, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
• Delete - Wikipedia is not web host for whatever this template is masquerading as. -- Whpq (talk) 00:03, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

• Template:The Urantia Book (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I just do not think this is a template that is needed any longer. It was initially created because we had a WP:WALLEDGARDEN of articles related to the main subject. That garden has been weeded and what is left are three articles. That's not really what a template is supposed to be for and it is very unlikely that this is going to be expanded. jps (talk) 05:14, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

• Delete I agree with nom. Insufficient articles to justify a navbox.--Tom (LT) (talk) 07:06, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
