This template is insufficiently complex to need a template separate from Template:Military unit sidebar. I've already made it a passthrough to indicate how simple it is. Recommend subst and delete. (See also discussion on the 15th.) Izno (talk) 18:32, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Turkic dynasties and countries and its precedents deleting "Turkic" categories, templates, lists and articles. We can't define countries by language family, so we can't have any combination of "Turkic" with a set of countries. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 09:46, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Country data templates are used for subnational divisions with flags, but Xinjiang does not have an official or unofficial flag. The Kokbayraq is the historical flag of East Turkestan and is used by East Turkestan independence activists. The latter would never describe the Kokbayraq as the "flag of Xinjiang". Likewise, the Chinese government would not describe the national flag as the "flag of Xinjiang"; it's just the national flag. There's no utility in having this country data either; in what scenario would having the Chinese flag next to only "Xinjiang" be necessary? Yue🌙 07:10, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Five transclusions. Created in 2021. Subst and delete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.218.18.234 (talk) 112:05, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or Merge. Template appears to be useful. Substing would result in {{Infobox}} being used directly in articles, which is undesirable. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:29, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I would be fine with a merge to {{Infobox character}}, per Izno below. I just didn't want it to be substed directly. I have changed "Keep" above to "Keep or Merge". – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:57, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Organisation purposes, and ditto with Jonesey95. --MonkeyStolen234 (talk) 15:42, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, convert uses to {{Infobox character}}. There's no reason to have this separate template. Izno (talk) 16:13, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (without redirect) and convert to {{Infobox character}}. We've moved away from series-specific character infoboxes a few years ago. No reason to start this again. Additionally, do not merge any of this infobox's parameters. If any are wanted, they should be brought up at the template's talk page. Gonnym (talk) 17:06, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Useful way to organise these articles. Eopsid (talk) 17:31, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Jonesey95. The person who loves reading (talk) 22:19, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Repalce with the character infobox. There is no need for each character infobox for each work of art that has an article on fictional character. Not a single keep vote clarifies why we need character specific infobox. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:48, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and replace with {{Infobox character}}. There's a bit of cruft that this template brings in that I don't desire. Infobox character is a preferrable replacement. SWinxy (talk) 19:14, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete per above, no need for anything more than {{infobox character}} here. if you can't get everything to fit, then there must be too much cruft. Frietjes (talk) 23:07, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Still adding these to articles. Also some are new units created and will be added to battle articles later. Do not delete. Fang Luo (talk) 07:05, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Templates should be created when needed, not mass created and left unused. Gonnym (talk) 02:42, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Will be later added in corresponding articles. Fang Luo (talk) 07:01, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
罗放, this is why the TFD process allows one week for comments and changes. Any of the above templates that are transcluded in articles at the end of the TFD are very likely to be kept. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:19, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete with prejudice, not just for being unused but for being a generally bad pattern. One, per MOS:ICONS, and two, because without that use case this is a case of trivial image linking. Izno (talk) 16:26, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    This template also helps keeping track of battles involving these units. Fang Luo (talk) 09:48, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Links to those units can also provide that kind of tracking, if that is even at all necessary whatsoever. (It's not.) Izno (talk) 00:45, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I don't see a particular reason why there needs to be a template for these shields. That they are also links feels like they violate some MOS guideline. SWinxy (talk) 19:22, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Per the consensus about the unused templates (see original nom), I have deleted them. Regarding the templates that are now in use: as a question to the participants (WikiCleanerMan, Frietjes, Izno, and SWinxy), how are these different than other templates (for example, the half-dozen used in the Battle in Shakhtarsk Raion infobox)?
