I don't like it is not a valid reason. You can do better than that. Sw2nd (talk) 00:18, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply

Delete. Perfect example of Wikipedia:Not everything needs a navbox. It doesn't link to enough articles to be useful. Jackmcbarn (talk) 02:16, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Almost completely unused template; appears on a user page, a user talk page, a template talk page and a single article. The template certainly shouldn't be at "RDC" because RDC can also refer to Wikipedia:Reference desk/Computing, and I reckon this can be substituted without issue.

  • delete after merging any useful content with the article. Frietjes (talk) 21:40, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Launchballer is currently blocked for reasons unrelated to this template. He has talk page access, so if you want to respond to him, you should go to his talk page, or wait until the 24-hour block period has expired. Nyttend (talk) 22:04, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not any more I'm not. Another comment; if this gets deleted, I'd like to move
Template:RDC. (Basically from 'request deleted article' to 'request deleted content'.)--Launchballer 18:48, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply

Do not strike my comments, and there's no need to notify you when I mention you at a discussion that you initiated. Nyttend (talk) 21:17, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete not the purpose of a template. Boxing off to highlight something should be done in the article, not in a template. -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 03:01, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete per author request, and no reason to userfy it if the author wants it deleted. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 04:47, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Periodic table (text only) (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The template was used in one article page, as a single topic. That page was deleted (See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Periodic table (text only)). Unfortunately an editor declined a subsequent speedy deletion for this template [1]. I can only repeat the arguments used for the article deletion, what I just did by linking to that AfD. DePiep (talk) 17:44, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: not to be too lazy, I'll repeat here my argument for deleting the one-template-only-article:
[Wrapper for a single template only.] Then as it states, it is "designed for printing" the information (in black and white). IMO, we do not create separate pages targeted for print. Printing is in the toolbox (wiki page, lefthand menu). When the page is gone, its template is up for deletion too for this reason. -DePiep (talk) 07:37, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete or speedy delete per
    Wikipedia:CSD#G8. Frietjes (talk) 21:42, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply

  • Keep, could easily be used in the future. Jackmcbarn (talk) 02:17, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, looks useful, and definitely not something that it's downright bad to have sitting around until we decide what to do with it. Nyttend (talk) 05:03, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - We shouldn't be too hasty in deleting this template. It could definitely be useful in the future, especially for stuff like printing.

re Jackmcbarn, Nyttend, Michaelzeng7. The AfD in this stated & concluded that we don't need variants that are made up solely for printing. Wiki pages are print prepared through other options. I explicitly repeat that we should throw this one out for being a print-version. Then, about the TfD process, "not too hasty", and "usefull in the future": well, exactly that is what this TfD is doing, discuss it now, whilenot deleted (standard XfD procedure). Can someone please point to any usefullness today? When reasons would arise in the future, we can deal with then in that future (note that in the future, there could be delete-reasons just as well). Today we cannot discuss or honour those unknown reasonings. -DePiep (talk) 09:20, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
