Procedural nomination on behalf of

with the rationale:

With all the names being set to merge or redirect it makes this template redundant.

Keep − 8 of the names do not redirect. Bogger (talk) 09:22, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
All the pages on the template currently redirect, except the list of characters page which has been nominated for deletion. The closure of the AfDs ended with a merge recommendation, so now all the pages redirect to the main article. I just redirected them (not merge, as I didn't see any content worth merging as it was all in-universe writing), but the history is still there if someone wanted to take any content and merge it across (but I don't see much value in that). --kelapstick(bainuu) 14:03, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - not needed. GiantSnowman 18:50, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Template:Fb cl header H&A as it's used, see 2007–08 Football Conference. The first table on this Football Conference page was completely messed up by adding the 'page for deletion' box to the template page, so I've taken the liberty of removing the 'page for deletion' notice from this template's page in the hope that the Football Conference page reverts to its previously healthy state when the caching of the template page is next done (Is that how it works?) There are also lots and lots of other places this template would be very useful in tidying up that type of league table, but I've never got round to doing it...

Fb cl header H&A should be deleted as well, this type of table should be discussed at
WT:FOOTY first, as the standard table does not separate home and and away results. Either way, this could be deleted after merging into Module:Sports table if necessary. S.A. Julio (talk) 13:51, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply

Agree with you. But we need consensus first. Maybe we need a better solution about H&A templates in

Set-index articles are very rare, and disambigs are almost never converted to set-indexes. Therefore, this template is a solution looking for a problem. Lojbanist remove cattle from stage 02:31, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. It is a maintenance-type / cleanup-type tag, used for a while in the past to mark disambiguation pages that should probably be converted to SIA pages. It was/can be useful for disambiguation-focused editors racing through the monthly disambiguation challenge to mark dabs for further thought. Sure, SIA pages are relatively rare, so what? It would be fine for a cleanup category to be entirely empty, we still keep such things. --Doncram (talk) 02:35, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Specifically, currently suggested are:
It is a decent suggestion for each of those, that the topics should be converted to Set Index Articles. --Doncram (talk) 02:40, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep – I would agree with
    WP:BROKE, because there are articles where this template can be usefully applied, even if not many. That can easily change, though, say if someone decides to go through a whole bunch of disambiguation pages in their WikiProject and finds that several can be converted into SIAs. We don't delete templates that have a theoretical application just because they currently don't apply anywhere.--Newbiepedian (talk · C · X! · L) 20:00, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply
