Text inappropriate as a template (& was being transcluded into an article on Robert_M._Murphy) David Biddulph (talk) 17:42, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- I think this is {{WP:NOTGENEALOGY and blatant misuse of the template namespace for transcluding prose. For an example of the latter, see {{French Horn in Jazz}}. LaundryPizza03 (talk) 03:09, 3 February 2018 (UTC)]
- It's not. The act of misrepresenting policy has to be in transcluding the template, not in creating it - otherwise it would obsolesce TFD entirely. You can't speedy delete templates for including genealogy data or for containing prose, only for e.g. expanding into big pink boxes reading "This article is a candidate for speedy deletion because it includes genealogy data" or "This template is a candidate for speedy deletion because it includes prose".

This template is literally unnecessary, as it's hard-coded into Wikipedia functionality.
- Delete – Agree that it should be deleted. I don't think this approach could technically achieve its goals of being able to form plurals in general, including ones that require spelling changes, so it fails on that front. For the case that it does cover, the existing behavior of links with appended suffixes is always going to be simpler to type. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 03:44, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- delete, obfuscates links for no good reason (just add an s after the link). Frietjes (talk) 14:21, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
