Template:Safran (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:SMA Engines (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Safran with Template:SMA Engines.
Template:SMA Engines has only two valid links. Jax 0677 (talk) 10:59, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose - these templates are very different. One is a collection of companies, while the other is a list of engines. They are designed to go on different pages so there is no overlap. As was established by consensus here and here there is no minimum limit on how many bluelinks a nav box can have to be of value. - Ahunt (talk) 15:38, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment — Similar merges have happened, but in this case, there is little to no overlap, meaning it would make all the navboxes larger with little benefit. If they were merged, then expanded in the future, I would say to split them. On the other hand, for now, it's only a few links. —PC-XT+ 18:18, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:US 68 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Per WP:NENAN. It only has three linked items (US 68, US 168, Bannered routes of U.S. Route 68), which isn't enough to sustain a separate navbox. Imzadi 1979  02:42, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The templates listed above are all unused. However, as far as I can tell, the templates are all correct and hence potentially could be used. The templates were all created by User:Appletreer who is indefinitely blocked as a sockpuppet, and hence are possibly eligible for speedy deletion under WP:G5 (?), but I thought it didn't make sense to speedily delete them if there were possibly useful. Hence this nomination to try to determine whether or not they are useful, and whether they should be kept or deleted. DH85868993 (talk) 00:56, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppetry or not, many of these can be useful. Unfortunately, a large number of them have been created for station articles that haven't been created yet, and one is for a station article that's badly written. My only hope is that someone will either write or rewrite the articles they were intended for, because I'd hate to see them all go. -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by DanTD (talkcontribs)

when a template is deleted, the history is still visible to admins, so recreation would be trivial. Frietjes (talk) 14:29, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
