Replace and delete
City-specific wrapper for {{Infobox settlement}}, with limited transclusions, on pretty stable sets of articles. Subst:itution will reduce the maintenance overhead, reduce the cognitive burden for editors, and enable articles to benefit more immediately from improvements to the current parent template.
Very uncommon practice: The only city-specific template outside London. Used for different types of entities [neighborhoods, quarters, but not districts], so the type has to be specified anyway. {{Infobox settlement}} can be used directly.
Note: Despite being named "Infobox settlement" the template is not only used for settlements. Per its documentation, Infobox settlement is "used to produce an Infobox for human settlements (cities, towns, villages, communities) as well as other administrative districts, counties, provinces, et cetera—in fact, any subdivision below the level of a country"
. That is practice for over a decade, it is used on ~ 500000 articles. 77.13.104.62 (talk) 22:42, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Replace and delete - Seems inconsistent to have city-specific templates just for Helsinki and London. TerraCyprus (talk) 13:53, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not used in mainspace. No future use in vision: we don't do "trends in p-block" at WT:ELEMENTS nor in periodic table descriptions. DePiep (talk) 19:27, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Thanks for looking into this again. --Gonnym (talk) 19:54, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Also, Template:Periodic table (p-block) is identical except for images and period 7, and can serve the same functions, as no trend is explicitly and uniquely denoted here. ComplexRational (talk) 20:50, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete If the trend intended is the decreasing metallicity, the pix actually obscure what the this template claims to show, which is far better illustrated in {{Periodic table (p-block)}} which makes no such claim. YBG (talk) 00:55, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
