Template:MES-EXIT (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:JKR-EXIT (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

These templates applied unneeded text styling for numbers in the exit column of a junction list table. First, each added the word "EXIT" in front of the number, which duplicated the heading at the top of the column. Second, the templates applied boldface in contravention of MOS:BOLD or MOS:RJL. Third, they applied a colored background just to the text and number, presumably to imitate actual exit number signs, something we don't do elsewhere. This colored background was also problematic in imitating signage as there was usually a line break between the word "exit" and the number, so the imitation was very poor. I removed the unneeded formatting, leaving just a number displayed, meaning the templates are pointless, so they've ben substituted and can be deleted.

Template:Sixteen Candles (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I find this template unnecessary for several reasons. First, it is based on the assumption that the remake 15 Candles will come out, which is untrue, since it is only in development and can fail to proceed. So this template unduly highlights Selena Gomez's name and unduly lists 15 Candles as an outright film (when it is just a project). Furthermore, ideally, articles should be cross-referencing each other. For the "Music" section, only the song "16 Candles" actually has that term mentioned in it. None of the other music-related links mention "16 Candles" in any capacity. Regarding the Shermer High School connection, that is not even mentioned in 16 Candles or Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Not to mention that the "Characters" category with just a side character being linked (along with a tangential broad-scope article) seems awkwardly forced in. There is no good reason to have this template. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 16:35, 3 November 2022 (UTC) Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 16:35, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: Have removed 15 Candles and unnecessary music links; keeping template only to film, video game, related, and characters. Vexedsmuggery (talk) 18:07, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I find this a minor improvement but still insufficient. The 2019 video game is not even a standalone article, it's a line in a table in a broader article. The Sherman High School connection is still nonsense with the film article not mentioning it at all, and there is literally nothing in the top search engine results for the film plus high school name. I don't even see the relevance of Young Frankenstein's Frau Blucher, and Google shows nothing at all. The template is full of tenuous and nonexistent connections. Plus TV episodes doing a riff of some famous film does not make for a "universe" of links. We don't need a template at all here.

Delete Only two articles directly or about the film. The main film article and the character of Long Duk Dong. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 16:47, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Permil (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Tagged this for speedy deletion back in July. Recreated since and still unused like last time. All it contains is text. Not sure what function this is to serve. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 21:07, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and undelete page history, since the original speedy deletion was clearly contested. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:38, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How is this a keep? Contested and since still serving no function. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 21:56, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This was an invalid speedy under G2 (fyi @JBW). Given its disuse, it should however probably be deleted. Izno (talk) 22:11, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: unused. If consensus is reached to keep the template, its history should be undeleted as a contested speedy. House Blaster^talk 19:45, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
keep, permil is hard to type, but make it substitute only like {{minus}}. Frietjes (talk) 21:55, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
