- Keep, they are part of a set of tools, see m:help:expansion demo templates. It is more practical to have them ready for use than to have to recreate them when they are needed. - Patrick (talk) 20:21, 1 November 2021 (UTC).[reply]
- If you plan on using them, you should add them where they are needed, otherwise having them sitting around doesn't do any good. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 21:02, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete It's been thirteen years. If these were ever going to be needed, they would have been used by now * Pppery * it has begun... 23:38, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have moved them to my user space. - Patrick (talk) 11:23, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - this template is a maintenance tag. Being unused is a good thing, hopefully it stays that way. - Floydian τ ¢ 21:35, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Not needed. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:24, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep—as Floydian says, it's a maintenance tag, and from time to time, it won't be in active use. Unlike WikiCleanerMan, it is needed from time to time to prompt compliance with MOS:RJL. Imzadi 1979 → 01:21, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - As stated above, it's a maintenance template for a backlog that is thankfully not full. SounderBruce 08:19, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I didn't know about this template, but now that I do I will use it. There are several thousand articles that this could be applied to. --Rschen7754 18:06, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This set of templates are used in a nested fashion to put statistics in articles about Slovakia, such as Abranovce. This presumably makes it easier for the author of Statistic of Slovak places by Dušan Kreheľ to update the stats from their website, which is used as the data source. It's great to have these statistics in Wikipedia, but unfortunately this nest of templates makes it difficult for other editors to improve the formatting, make corrections, or do their own updates. (For example, after poking around these templates for a few minutes, despite having edited Wikipedia for decades and writing bots myself, I couldn't figure out where the numbers are actually coming from.) I think the best thing to do would be to flatten out all this complexity by subst:ing all these templates (which as I discovered would have to be done recursively). For future mass updates, I think it would be better to have a bot dump formulaic prose in articles or infoboxes directly, which is what has been done for U.S. census results. -- Beland (talk) 00:30, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Don't really understand the main goal here. These templates just add more mess than they intend to fix. Subst per nomination. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:10, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I noticed these templates for some other reason and I immediately came to the conclusion the lot should be deleted as being duplicated by appropriate infoboxes and etc. I certainly hadn't realized there was a COI here with an external website. --Izno (talk) 05:36, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Substitute and Delete per the nom. They are a hinderance to cooperative editing by being unduly idiosyncratic and raise COI concerns. Newshunter12 (talk) 19:26, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
