Note: Template:Cuba Squad 2012 Caribbean Cup has been retained, because three out of seven participants herein stated that championship-winning squads should be retained. While deletion discussion closures are not based upon a vote count, there is no consensus herein for Template:Cuba Squad 2012 Caribbean Cup to be deleted.

Note: Upon further consideration, Template:Cuba squad 2012 Caribbean Cup has been deleted, per the fact that one user stated that they were "and indifferent for the rest" regarding the championship winning squads, and per another user stating "Delete non-champion roster templates per Frietjes' comment above", which implies, but does not directly state that the "per" !vote is also indifferent toward the championship winning squads.

Consensus is that we should only create squad templates for major tournaments like the World Cup, Confederations Cup, UEFA Euro, Gold Cup, etc. The Caribbean Cup is not a major tournament. – Michael (talk) 22:38, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This could be interpreted as a WP:POVFORK, attempting to treat "historic Lancashire" as a separate, parallel entity to "Lancashire", which is against WP:UKCOUNTIES guidelines. The template is somewhat confusing in that it is mixing modern-day elements within the ceremonial county boundaries with elements within the historic county boundaries. And it is cherry-picking Lancashire-related topics to support a particular POV. We already have a ((Lancashire)) template. There has been a brief discussion about this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography § County Palatine of Lancaster.  Dr Greg  talk  19:50, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and the linked section at ukgeo. Mr Stephen (talk) 20:26, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for reasons given by the nominator and in the discussion at ukgeo.  DDStretch  (talk) 20:41, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per discussion at ukgeo, serves no useful purpose. J3Mrs (talk) 13:25, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Historical Lancashire is a separate, parallel entity to ceremonial Lancashire in the UK. If the WP:UKCOUNTIES guidelines recognizes both as being the same, the guidelines are incorrect with need for a review.2.217.52.199 (talk) 13:28, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Infobox SMS station with Template:Infobox station.
The first template seems to be redundant as the second one can be used to represent the same information. It can also be used to improve the representation of the information and also creates a uniformity between different transit systems in South Korea (ie with Korail stations and metro systems in other cities) and overall globally, thus makes it easier for readers to track information down. Examples as such can be seen in the following links:

Also brought up at Template talk:Xfce, Template talk:LXDE, these two templates doesn't seem on navbox purpose and listing would be more appropriate IMO. Otherwise we should create navbox for Gnome, KDE and every DE available Category:Desktop environments and why we limit to DEs? So it would be possible to make such thing for distros using systemd or udev or other low level or high level software which leads to a mess. –ebraminiotalk 17:13, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I think the idea that just because we have nav boxes on distros that offer LXDE and Xfce that we have to therefore have nav boxes on distros that offer every other desktop is fundamentally a fallacious argument. No where does Wikipedia policy require that if we have "X" navbox, we have to therefore also have "Y" nav box. The number of distros that offer LXDE and Xfce are quite limited and so this makes these particularly well adapted to this sort of small nav box. Are the boxes complete at present? Probably not, but a lack of them being complete is not a valid reason to delete them. Which distros to include or exclude from the nav box should be sorted out on the template talk page, not in a deletion discussion. - Ahunt (talk) 12:51, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And you seem doing straw man fallacy by commenting just about one of the reasons mentioned. –ebraminiotalk 15:01, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It is hardly a "straw man" argument when you listed it as one of the reasons you nominated the templates for deletion. Because you did so, it requires addressing. You put forward a hypothetical problem of requiring other more cumbersome boxes based on these two, but those boxes have not been created, let alone nominated for deletion and thus not up for discussion here. - Ahunt (talk) 23:43, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
